Bread of the Gospel at Long Branch sermon by Rev. T DeWitt Talmage
The preacher portrays heavenly bread as manna in the wilderness and as the old corn of the Gospel, urging especial relief for special distress and warning against relying on secular comforts. He contrasts faith with infidel philosophy, extols Christ as the bread of life, and laments spiritual hunger while urging listeners to embrace the plain gospel.
