This Sermon was preached at Harmony Grove Church, 1963.
In his opening, he leads the congregation singing 2 verses of a song. He makes mention of his love and delight in the doctrine of salvation by grace. But he uses this occasion to bring a very practical sermon on various admonitions that cover a wide variety of persons. I suppose he is informing the church of his intentions to bring a practical sermon. You will notice that he says some have asked him to preach like they did "50-60 years ago" He mentions in this sermon when he which lends us the idea that even in 1963 mannerisms in preaching change from time to time. He also joined the church in 1899.
