The first few minutes of the sermon were missed by way of recording. The recorded portion begins shortly after a brief review of the previous sermons in the series. Following was the introductory quotation by the Rev. J.W. Alexander ("Thoughts on Family-Worship," p. 83):
"It has been held by some, that the depravity of man, by reason of the fall, does not extend to the intellectual powers: but this is an error, against which genuine reformed theology has firmly protested. The change in regeneration is a change of the whole man. There is no aspect under which this renovation is more frequently set forth in Scripture than that of an illumination of the mind. Unless we err, this point has been too much neglected. The very acts and exercises of a Christian life conduct directly to mental improvement, and are in themselves an intellectual discipline. And among these, Family-Worship has a prominent share."
