Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures Delivered Before the Young Men's Christian Association: In Exeter Hall, From November 1854, to February 1855
If the theme of the Lecturer is less lofty than that of the Preacher, its range is wider, and the mode of treat ment more elastic. The lecture seems to be the legitimate sphere for the entertainments, as well as the instructions of wisdom. It is an agency of great versatility and power for the moral health of the people. Without a deep purpose of religion, it may easily become a ministry of unreasoning passion and excitement, but animated by this purpose, it may soon elevate the mind and heart of the nation.
The young men's christian association has been privileged to share in the development, and to witness the fruits of this agency. The Committee are thankful that notwithstanding the absorbing anxieties of the public mind during the past few months, this (the Tenth) series of Lectures was attended with continued interest.
