THE REVEREND ALBERT BARFF, M.A.,

VICAR OF ST. GILES', CRIPPLEGATE,

IN GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE MANY BLESSINGS

OF A FRIENDSHIP WHICH HAS LASTED FOR

PREFACE

THE ground which this volume attempts to cover is somewhat larger than its title would imply.

Its central subject is the entrance of our Lord Jesus Christ into this world by being born of a human Mother. The sermons & which are devoted to the Nativity are preceded by two for the Feast of St. Thomas. This Apostle, from his place in the Church Calendar, might seem to bid us halt on the road to Bethlehem, that we may learn from him something about that great grace of faith which enables us to recognize in Mary's Child the Eternal Word made Flesh. After Christmas Day there follow four sermons for two of the attendant festivals, and six for the last Sunday in the

c

civil year. These naturally deal for the most part

a Serm. III.-IX.

b Serm. I., II.

St. Stephen's Day: Serm. X., XI. The Holy Innocents' Day: Serm. XII., XIII.

d Serm. XIV.-XIX.
