Altmeyer published his first collection, Sermons Delivered Before Mixed Congregations, in 1911. In the Preface to this volume, Henry A. Brann, Rector of St. Agnes' Church in New York, notes that this one had been printed at the request of many of his fellow clergy. Brann goes on to describe the sermons as "correct...clear, terse, and plain," effectively combining "the study of the dogmatic with the ethical teaching of the church."
