Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baccalaureate Sermons, and Occasional Discourses The word 'hero, ' does not occur in the Bible. Nothing can be more opposite to its spirit than that self-sufficiency, and recklessness of human rights and sufferings, which arc commonly associated with this term. Still, there are no higher examples of a true heroism than the Bible presents. In the text, and the chapter from which it is taken, we have an account of great and heroic exploits, performed indeed in ancient times, but such as we should be glad to see emulated, such as ought to be emulated in the midst of the light and advantages of our day. We have a right to expect, as the stream of time rolls on and pours its accumulated wealth at the feet of new generations, that there shall not only be an increase in the knowledge of nature, but that there shall be, at least, no failure in the breadth and compass of a comprehensive wisdom, or in the might of a true manhood that is ready to do and to suffer in the cause of humanity and of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baccalaureate Sermons But why has the Creator thus set us apart from one another and given us such diverse endowments? Is it not to make monotony impossible? Is not our individual ity given us as a charge to keep? Let it not be surren dered at the bidding of any, nor stolen away while we sleep. We but serve our common humanity when we hold our rightful God-given place, when we fill up the deficiencies of one another by using the powers which God has given in the field which God has assigned. There is a proper assertion of one's individuality and of this Nehemiah gives us a right noble example. Sensible of the responsibility of his high position and conscious of his own powers he consulted with himself how he should act in this trying hour. He belonged to himself and had not submitted himself to the keeping of another. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In publishing them with others the author has yielded to the request of friends, in whose judgment he has entire confidence.

Download or read book The Very Elect written by Matthew Henry Buckham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Very Elect: Baccalaureate Sermons and Occasional Addresses Matthew Henry Buckham, D.D. LL. D Matthew henry buckham came from England with his parents when but an infant. His destiny seems to have been foreshadowed in his birth, which occurred on the fourth of July, 1832. His father was an Independent, or Congregational minister, who sometimes added to his small stipend and his practical usefulness by conducting a private school. Matthew entered college at the age Of fifteen, with an admirable grounding, received from his father, in all the subjects which a freshman should know. At the age Of nineteen he took his first degree, winning the highest honors Of a class many Of whom were five to eight years his seniors. For two years he was headmaster Of the Old academy at Lenox, Mass. Then tutor in languages for a year at Burlington. Two years were next given to study and research abroad, chiefly at University College, London. Upon his return (in 1856) he accepted a temporary position on the teaching staff of the University Of Vermont as professor Of English Liter ature, and the year following was made professor Of Greek. In 1863 he took up again the duties Of the chair Of Rhetoric and English Literature, and continued in charge Of both departments till 1871, when President Angell's resignation opened the way for his promotion to the presidency. At his death, 29 November, 1910, he had already well begun his fortieth year of oversight and direction, and was accounted the Dean Of American college presidents. As an instructor Professor Buckham was admirably equipped for his work. His scholarship was accurate, his memory held fast whatever his wide reading had gathered. His taste in English Literature and his skill in the use Of his mother tongue made his example in the lecture room Of even more value than his formal precepts and criticism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Occasional Sermon: Delivered Before the Universalist General Convention As a farther apology, for this yolume, it is proper to state, ' that the plan of collecting the Sermons into a book, was not suggested till several of the preach ers had left the city. Most of the discourses, also, were mainly extemporaneous, and have been written out since, from memory, after two or three weeks de lay, and in considerable haste. Time has likewise been consumed in communicating with the authors, and the subsequent hurry in crowding the work through the press, has left no Opportunity for them to examine proof-sheets. Errors, consequently, may lfve occurred. If so, let them be regarded, under t e circumstances, with a lenient eye.

Download or read book Baccalaureate and Other Sermons and Addresses Classic Reprint written by Edward Allen Tanner and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baccalaureate and Other Sermons and Addresses "Many a teacher," said an eminent divine, "has been perfectly satisfied with teachership, perfectly content to furnish the materials and conditions of effective and conspicuous activity to other minds and to rest, himself, in obscurity as they went forth to prominence." Thus Socrates waited to speak through Plato. Thus Gamaliel invested himself in Paul. Even the Teacher of Teachers left to his disciples the promise of "greater works" than His. Such is the rule, not without pathos, of the true teacher's life. "Can it be," asked a gatherer of statistics, some months ago, "that President Tanner has never published any of his writings?" Except upon requests of newspaper and magazine editors, he never had. Yet a man yearns for a monument of that sort. Step into a library, visit an unfrequented alcove, and listen to the pleading of the volumes. But their backs are turned toward the world, - and the shyness is mutual. Neither the longing to be consulted by posterity, nor the loving anxiety to have another thus remembered, is sufficient to justify a book. Beneath the desire to honor a cherished memory and to make these sermons and addresses easy of access, is an earnest belief that they contain what will be of value to the future historian of American education, and that their publication will renew and extend the quiet influence which Dr. Tanner's words have had upon certain lives.

This book was released on 2016-07-23 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baccalaureate Sermon Preached Before the Class of 1894 of Princeton College, on Sunday, June Tenth, 1894 This hall is both a gift and a memorial. It is a gift to a noble and enduring institution. It is a tribute to Princeton College, to the students who give it life and energy, to the graduates who have done it honor, to the officers who have been faithful to its great tra ditions, to the learning which in Princeton has alwaysfound a home. May I not say that it is in a peculiar sense a tribute to its President, whose words were the inspiration of the idea [cheers], and whose work for both religion and learning have been a cause of admiration, and a motive to generosity in the mind of the giver. It is Mrs. Alexander's hope that this hall may al ways be a centre of University activity. Here, as the years go by, graduates will take leave of their col lege. Here the friends of science, and of letters, and of the arts may assemble. Here also will doubtless be heard the voices of those who return from various fields after harvests of inquiry and discovery. It is not a temple of religion, but in a very real sense it is dedicated to the cause of truth. And it is the desire of the giver that nothing Shall find welcome here but that which is in conformity to the will of Him who is the Truth Incarnate.
