Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Personal Christian Life in the Ministry: Three Lenten Lectures in the General Theological Seminary, 1883
WE have no time for anything prefatory. The essential nature of the Kingdom of God among men, the drift of our recent Church-life, and such personal experience as I have had, establish in my mind the conviction that the work to which you are so near, and are drawing nearer every day, needs nothing so much as that it be made deeper work; that we need to deepen it more than we need to extend it, to diversify it, or to enlighten it with mere intellectual light, and that we cannot deepen it much in others unless we deepen it first in ourselves.
