i have no clue what "euchology" might be (presumably the study of Euchre, the
State Card Game of Indiana), but for the "theology" of the whole thing the
hundreds of surviving Sermons on the Dedication --almost every guy's sermon
collection will have one or four-- is a quite good source. i don't know if
anyone has ever bothered to collect a bunch of them together in a single book,
but, as i say, every sermon collection will have some.
