Excerpt from Baccalaureate and Other Sermons and AddressesCentral Hospital for the Insane, Chaplain Tanner used to bring at least the light of a cloudy day, and of a large number of young men for whose Christian purity and strength he labored, first as Professor, then as President.All of the baccalaureates of the ten years of his presidency at Illinois College are published, together with other sermons and addresses, some from his earlier ministry, some from his later, one written even beneath the on-creeping shadow of his last illness. It is regretted that so much must remain in manu script. Variety of topic has been regarded in putting forth these few productions from the many. Toward the end of the volume, is a thesaurus of selections from his still unpublished writings. No especial arrangement of them has been at tempted, may they be found helpful and suggestive in leisure moments!After all else was ready for the press, a sketch of Private and Public Life was prepared, though with some hesitation. No elaborate coloring has been sought. If we have kept in harmony with the modest nature of the man, if we have con fined our own affectionate estimate to a true outline of his work, if we have brought others to a better knowledge of his genuine and lovable character, then we are content.The preface of an English book, published the other year, was simply a printed extract from the author's will, directing what disposition should be made of his literary works. If one could. In any way, reproduce those unwritten wills which lives attest, our only prefatory allusion to these sermons and addresses need have been the speaker's ruling purpose to be of service unto all whom his words should reach.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
