Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Sermon Illustration Every preacher covets the power to illustrate his sermons and addresses. Few preachers possess it in any marked degree. A fertile illustrator, like the poet and the painter, is born, not made. None the less, it is possible to cultivate the art; and the purpose of this book is to assist those who realise the necessity of being interesting, and are not destitute of imagination, to develop what gift they have. There are pitfalls in the way of the sermon and address illustrator, and the preacher and speaker will be put on their guard against them. The author has gone to the Bible as a store house of illustrations by inspired writers who possessed the art in perfection. Most of all he would send preachers to the Gospels, to Him who spake as never man spake, and without a parable spake He not unto them, for matchless examples of the illustra tion of spiritual truth. None realised as the Master. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Illustration While we thus commend illustrations for necessary uses, it must be remembered that they are not the strength Of a sermon any more than a window is the strength of a house; and for this reason, among others, they should not be too numerous. Too many openings for light may seriously detract from the stability Of a building. We have known sermons so full of metaphors that they became weak, and we had almost said crazy, structures. Ser mons must not be nosegays of flowers, but sheaves Of wheat. Very beautiful sermons are generally very useless ones. TO aim at elegance is to court failure. It is possible to have too much of a good thing: a glass house is not the most comfortable of abodes, and be sides other Objectionable qualities it has the great fault of being sadly tempting to stone throwers. When a critical adversary attacks our metaphors he generally makes Short work of them. To friendly minds images are argu ments, but to opponents they are opportunities for attack; the enemy climbs up by the win dow. Comparisons are swords with two edges which cut both ways; and frequently what seems a sharp and telling illustration may be wittily turned against you, so as to cause a.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Windows for Sermons: A Study of the Art of Sermonic Illustration, Together With Four Hundred Fresh Illustrations Suited for Sermons and Reform Addresses For years I have been receiving letters from all over the country, asking how and where I get my illustrations for my sermons. It is in response to this wide interest, evidenced by so many letters, that these chapters have been prepared. I have tried therein to answer the many questions that have been put to me concerning the sources of illustrations and the art of using them. I have also added several hundred fresh illustrations, gathered from everywhere, but especially from the current life and discussion of the world. It is the hope of the author to be useful to his brethren, not only in furnishing helpful and suggestive illustrative material, but also in the greater work of stimulating his readers to original search for such material in the ever-new volume of experience and observation which comes to them with each recurring day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christ of the Church: Sermons, Lectures and Illustrations The man of Tarsus, breathing threatening and slaughter, was on his way to Damascus, When Jesus appeared unto him and said, Why do you persecute me Who are you was the reply. I am Jesus, Whom you persecute. Paul was startled. When had he persecuted Jesus? To his wonder and amazement, he realized that Jesus is living and is identified With the church, and that to persecute the church is to persecute the Christ of the church. From that time until his death he had but two themes, the church, and the Christ of the church. He ransacked his vocabulary of words to find figures to exalt, adorn and beautify the church. In his most matchless ights of oratory, his theme was the church. He saw the church as the household of God, the whole family in heaven and earth, the temple of God, the body of Christ, the pillar of truth, and last the loving bride of the Redeemer. It dawned upon him that to ignore the church is to ignore the Christ of the church, and to persecute the church is to persecute the Christ. Happy are we if we see these great truths as Paul saw them. I have no sympathy With the sentiment that applauds the name of Christ and hisses the church. To hiss the church is to hiss the Christ of the church. Neither do I have any patience with that other sentiment that is often manifested in some of our union revivals, that a man can be a Chris tian and not in the church. It is nothing un usual to hear men say, Oh, yes, I am a Chris tian, but not a member of the church. That is false; every Christian on earth is in the church. To be a Christian is to be in the body of Christ, the church. To ignore the church is to ignore the Christ of the church, to neglect the church is to neglect Christ, and to be out of the church is to be out of Christ. The church is a divine institution, perfect and above criticism. The church includes all who are followers of Christ, and excludes all who are not. The word church, in the New Testament, refers to all believers in Christ. Until Paul came exalting the church in figures, the divine writers referred to it merely as the church. It was not modified.

The misfortune is, it is thus far only. Ao knowledging the existence of a true church, it is divided about that portion of society, to whom the happy privilege of being the true church exclu sively belongs: divided, subdivided, and frittered into countless sects, each sect arrogates it to itself; and amid the wildest confusion of doctrines, some of them llilplolls, andsome absurd - all of them at variance, and all, save one, erroneous - each, with equal confidence, is convinced that itself alone is sacred and divine.

It is oftentimes the entering wedge or the clinching conclusion for the more serious argument. At times it is both. Mr. D. L. Moody used to say that a sermon without illustrations was like a house without Windows. TO one Of his ablest associates, one second to none as a Bible expositor, he would frequently say, You don't put enough Windows in your sermons. NO one can do it better, but you get so interested in your subject you go on and on with argument and proof texts until the au dience is weary. You want to wake them up: let them see out and in through a Window-use pointed illustrations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible in Art The aim of this book is to trace the develop ment of Bible illustration from the crude pic tures of the catacombs to the great art which embodied in visible form the Bible Beautiful. The story is carried through the art of vari ous countries, and is brought down to the work of the present day. By covering so much ground, even in this brief way, we are able to get some sense of the continuity of our sub ject, some idea of its place in the whole his tory of art. And, as we go along, we can scarcely fail to see that no one can understand the great art monuments who does not know his Bible. It may perhaps be equally true such indeed was Ruskin's belief that no one can in any large sense understand the Bible itself until he has learned to read the art com mentaries upon it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Object Sermons in Outline: With Numerous Illustrations Much has been said and written about the use of the eye in impressing spiritual truth on an audience. But in spite of all the talk on this matter, outside of the Sunday-school little has been done, chiefly because many have not known how to get to work to enlist the eyes of their hearers. Pastors have acknowledged the power of object sermons, and have wished that they could prepare them, but have not felt that they dared launch out in this line of effort. I am persuaded that we all have much to learn in the direction of using things material to impress things spiritual on the minds of our hearers. In any secular lecture, we see scientific men making just as constant use of the eye as possible, and we recognize that this is one of the sources of the delight that is experienced in listening to what they have to say, and one great means by which we remember that to which we have listened. While the lecturer is appealing to the eye, and at the same time is explaining what he shows, to the ear, he has the undivided attention of all in his audience. It is simply impossible to be carried away by wandering thoughts, while eye and ear are both being appealed to by the speaker. Since these are facts that no one contraverts, why should we not avail ourselves of the same methods in our pulpit utterances, and, by the use of both of our most rapid senses, do all we can to impress the truth on our hearers? If our Master preached from the text of a little child held in His arms, or taught the duty of humility by actually waiting on the table, why should we be so finical that we cannot lay aside our dignity, and use any method that will impress the truth on others? I am by no means advocating such a use of objects as shall merely attract attention to themselves and thus overlay the truth, for to do that is folly. But there is a most legitimate way of using material objects, and to that I desire to call renewed attention. Having myself used this kind of preaching and having found it helpful in a spiritual way, 1 can all the more heartily commend it to others.
