Included in this Pentecost issue is a sermon by Prof. Engelsma on John 7:37-39. A year ago, a reader of the SB, having heard the sermon preached, recommended that this be printed in the SB. All agreed that it was worthy of printing, but the length of the sermon was a question. Articles of this length, common in the “old days,” we today ordinarily will split into two parts. But the sermon does not divide well. Since the sermon is not only edifying, but is also a fine model for ministers and seminarians, the editors decided to print the entire sermon in this issue.
