The electronic version of The Gospel Preacher: A Book of Sermons by Various Writers, ed. A. B. Maston (Melbourne: Austral Publishing Company, 1894) has been produced from a copy of the book held by the Disciples of Christ Historical Society. Thanks to May Reed for providing a Xerox copy of the book.

      The three sermons by Benjamin Franklin are reprinted from his The Gospel Preacher: A Book of Twenty Sermons. (Cincinnati, OH: Franklin and Rice, 1869); the three sermons by J. W. McGarvey are reprinted from his Sermons, Delivered in Louisville, Kentucky, June-September, 1893. Louisville, KY: Guide Printing and Publishing, 1894.

      Pagination in the electronic version has been represented by placing the page number in brackets following the last complete word on the printed page. I have let stand inconsistencies in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and typography; however, I have offered corrections for misspellings and other accidental corruptions. Emendations are as follows:
