Excerpt from Lectures for the PeopleThere is a complaint, in England, that there are few great preachers now, belonging to the Established Church (protes tant Episcopalian) of that country. Dr. Trench, Dean of Westminster, Dr. Croly, the Rev. Henry Melville, the Rev. Daniel Moore, Dr. Hook, Dr. Mcneile of Liverpool, Dr. Villiers, Bishop of Carlisle, Rev. F. D. Maurlce, the Rev. Hugh Stowell of Manchester, and a few others appear to stand almost alone, ln the Church of England, as eminent preachers, -as divines not only endowed with surpassing eloquence, but also as highly successful in their teaching. For to compose a good sermon and deliver it in an impresswe manner constitutes one thing, and to plant conviction into the listeners' minds constitutes another.' The mere elecu tionary art, the literary power of¿composition, may be acquired by study and a quick intellect, but the fear and love of God, which breathes vitality into pulpit oratory, cannot be gained by any human effort.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
