Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Homiletic Review, Vol. 13: From January to June, 1887
The main suggestions that have been enforced upon us are: The need of a deeper personal conviction of the main truths of the gospel; a thorough honesty, loyalty and courage in declaring them, throwing into the message the whole force of the preacher's personality; intel lectual force sustained and increased by unremitted study, and thus commanding a hearing and an interested attention; Biblical study, as furnishing the preacher's model and material and promoting his mental growth; friendliness and personal sympathy with the hearers; the spirit of prayer, in conscious dependence on God; finally, and not least in importance, we are counselled to keep in mind that preaching, in the narrow sense of the word, is only one, and not always the chief, of the multifarious functions by which the effectiveness of the ministry is attained. These seem to me the chief points of the sev eral writers. Of course, thus detached from their setting and grouped in a syllabus, they lose their impressive force. But they are every one true, and every one important.
