Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baccalaureate Sermons IN preparing these sermons for republication, I find that in some instances a favorite illustration, text of Scripture, or subsidiary thought occurs more than once. But as there is, as I believe, no duplication of a subject or of a continuous train of thought, I have pre ferred to let the sermons reappear in their original form. If they can in any humble measure serve the purpose with which they were written, the author can have no greater joy than in thus renewing and con tinning the chosen work of his years of active service in the University.

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 Christian Character: Baccalaureate Sermons HE following sermons are collected and given to the public in response to the wishes of many friends. They vary in length and completeness accord ing to the varying ability of the reporters to seize the rapid utterances of the speaker; for, with one or two exceptions, they were prepared for publication from newspaper reports. But the shortest and most imperfect of the series present the leading thoughts and the progress of the argument. The editor has not, of course, felt at liberty to add to them, except at occasional defective points to complete the obvious intent of the speaker; nor has anything been left out, except occasional repetitions of statement or expression. Even these redundancies are sometimes left as characteristic of the preacher's more familiar public addresses; like the amiable defects of our friends, they will not be unwelcome to those who sought and valued his pulpit teachings.

Download or read book Preaching with Sacred Fire An Anthology of African American Sermons 1750 to the Present written by Martha Simmons and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 989 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred sermons that display the victorious, although sometimes painful, historical and spiritual pilgrimage of black people in America. A groundbreaking anthology, Preaching with Sacred Fire is a unique and powerful work. It captures the stunning diversity of the cultural and historical legacy of African American preaching more than three hundred years in the making. Each sermon, as editors Martha Simmons and Frank A. Thomas reveal, is a work of art and a lesson in unmatched rhetoric. The journey through this anthology—which includes selections from Jarena Lee, Frederick Douglass, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Gardner C. Taylor, Vashti McKenzie, and many others—offers a rare view of the unheralded role of the African American preacher in American history. The collection provides new insights into the underpinnings of the black fight for emancipation and the rise and growth of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements. Sermons from the first decade of the twenty-first century point toward the future of African American preaching. Biographies of the preachers put their work in the cultural and homiletic context of their periods. The preachers of these sermons are men and women from a range of faiths, ancestries, and educational backgrounds. They draw on a vast and luminous landscape of poetic language, using metaphor, rhythm, and imagery to communicate with their congregations. What they all have in common is hope, resilience, and sacred fire. “Even during the most difficult and oppressive times,” Simmons and Thomas write in the preface, “the delivery, creativity, charisma, expressivity, fervor, forcefulness, passion, persuasiveness, poise, power, rhetoric, spirit, style, and vision of black preaching gave and gives hope to a community under siege.” This magnificent work beautifully renders the complexity, spiritual richness, and strength of African American life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The College and the Higher Life: Baccalaureate Sermons The denominational paper, the Universalist, in which this report is printed, adds some words of further description that are of interest in the same connection. He knows by experience the feelings and the needs of those who go to Tufts for an education. As President he will have a sympathetic appreciation of the status of his scholars that must greatly conduce to an influence over them for good. Further, he is proud of his Alma Mater, and from the day of his graduation to the present hour chief among his aspirations and his hopes has been a desire to see Tufts taking its place among the first universities of the land. He is a speaker, and in any assembly of educationists he will honor the school he represents. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baccalaureate and Convocation Sermons I have not hesitated to gather material from ser mons and addresses that suited my purpose. I have fre quently drawn thoughts and forceful sentences from the great London preacher, Joseph Parker. In a few cases I have gotten valuable ideas from the great English preacher, Frederick W. Robertson. In two or three in stances I have also drawn a few thoughts from The Homilist, an English periodical that ran for years, but was discontinued. Other thoughts I have gotten from sources that I now no longer remember. I have tried to give proper credit for thoughts and quotations. If I have failed in any case, it is because I am not able to trace the source of the thought that should be credited, but, whether credited or not, the reader will not suffer any loss, as doubtless anything I may have borrowed is better on that account.
