C. W. Stayner in the Journal of Discourses

His one sermon in the series, and what it covers.

One sermon by C. W. Stayner appears in the Journal of Discourses, in volume 20 (1880).

In his own words

The table below says what his one sermon covers. This is what it sounded like.

God has painted the history of the world in the rich colors of prophecy, and mankind, under Divine Providence has sculptured its fulfillment in the marble of history. The two records are before us, and I am ashamed of the intelligence of the nineteenth century when I think that scientific men, and learned people can be induced to impute to those holy servants of God other motives than the advancement of God's purposes in the earth.

C. W. Stayner, Fates of the Ancient Apostles—Worship of the True God—His Creations and Handiwork—Prophecy, Journal of Discourses, Volume 20

What the sermon covers

Indexed subjects, in order of how often they appear: Astronomy, Atmosphere, Book of Revelation, Carbon Dioxide, Creation, Emperor Domitian, Fountains of Water, Isle of Patmos, John the Apostle, Judgment, Light, Martyrdom.

Where it sits

Volume 20 (1880) holds 48 sermons by 16 speakers, of which 1 is his. John Taylor carries that volume with 16.

The Journal is overwhelmingly the work of a dozen men. The speakers who appear once or twice are the reason the series is worth indexing in full: they are printed at the same length and with the same care as the presidencies, and almost nowhere else.

Every sermon, in order
