Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the American Pulpit, or Commemorative Notices of Distinguished American Clergymen of Various Denominations, Vol. 4: From the Early Settlement of the Country to the Close of the Year Eighteen Hundred and Fifty-Five He told me that, in the earlier part of his ministry, his habit was to write the introduction and the application of his sermons with great care, and then to com mit them perfectly to memory. The body of the discourse consisted of a very full analysis of the subject, or of the passage on which the sermon was founded, which he studied as thoroughly as he could, but leaving the language in which his thoughts should find utterance to the inspiration of the moment. He could do this with entire safety, for few men possessed a greater copia fandi. Such was his method of sermonizing at the time of his first visit to London in 1802, and hence his famous Sermon before the London Missionary Society, as well as the many others which his English friends were so urgent to have published, required to be written out in full after delivery. But in later years (except the very last of his ministry) his numerous duties forbade his making even this kind of preparation for the pulpit, and if he had not been compelled by the importunity of friends to reduce to writing what he had already preached, some of his most admired sermons would have been lost forever. Towards the close of his life the failure of memory consequent upon the disease which paralyzed mind and body, obliged him to write his sermons, and even to read them. It was not without a severe mental struggle that he consented to put on this ignoble yoke as he viewed it, for he had all the old Scottish prejudices against readers of the Gospel, and had said as hard things about them as any one. The first time he preached for me in this way was in Spruce Street, Philadelphia, where he. Knew the people had an especial dislike of the paper. He laid his notes on the B'ible, and then said My friends, I must ask your indulgence for adopt ing to-day a practice which through life I have condemned. I must read my sermon - the hand of God is upon me. I must bow to his will. I need not say that the bitterest haters of notes in the audience were melted, and for a time the church was truly a Bochim.

It was stated in the General Preface, in respect to the order of arrange ment, that the several denominations would follow each other, according to the number of subjects which they respectively furnished. From this rule it has been thought desirable to depart in the present volume, so far as to bring together the Associate Reformed, the Associate and the Reformed Presbyterian Bodies, - thc two former being already merged in one denomination, (the United Presbyterian, ) to which also the latter sustains an intimate relation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the American Pulpit, or Commemorative Notices of Distinguished American Clergymen of Various Denominations, Vol. 6: From the Early Settlement of the Country to the Close of the Year Eighteen Hundred and Fifty-Five; With Historical Introductions The history of the Baptist denomination in the United States, like that of the other denominations, is so fully developed in the lives of its promi nent ministers, that it is impossible to construct even the most general out line of the former without drawing upon material that must necessarily be embodied in the latter. The present brief sketch is framed with a view to prevent, as far as possible, repetition in the body of the work. When the first Baptists came to this country, or who they were, it is impossible now to ascertain though Cotton Mather says many of the first settlers in Massachusetts were Baptists and he adds that they were as holy, and watchful, and fruitful, and heavenly a people as perhaps any in the world. It may not be uninteresting to note the rise and progress of the denomination, as indicated by its introduction into the several Colonies and States, or rather by the date of the origin of the first Baptist Church in each Colony or State, in chronological order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the American Pulpit, Vol. 1: Or Commemorative Notices of Distinguished American Clergymen of Various Denominations It is now nearly ten years since the idea of undertaking a work, commemorative of deceased American clergymen, first occurred to me. I conferred with the venerable Professors at Princeton, - Doctors Miller and Alexander, and several other distinguished clergymen of different denominations, in respect to it, and they all encouraged me to proceed. At that time, however, my conception of the work was very imperfect, and I had no thought of extending it beyond a single volume, which should include a few of the most brilliant lights, without regard either to denomination or chronological order. I was led, however, after surveying more carefully the field of my labours, to the conclusion that the limits that I had prescribed to myself were too narrow for the contemplated work; and, as the number of worthy subjects increased, my plan proportionally enlarged, until it finally embraced all who have been in any considerable degree distinguished, from the earliest settlement of the country to the present time. This is the plan which I have endeavoured to carry out in these volumes; but, after the most diligent and extended research, I feel constrained to say that there are important names omitted, which I would gladly have included, but could not, for the utter want of material.
