Excerpt from New Shafts in the Old Mine: An Exposition of Some Classic Passages of Holy ScripturesOne of the most valuable of my early lessons in homiletics had respect to the treatment of some What extended portions of Scripture, as the ser mon ordinarily discusses a single verse. Such expositions of the word do not consist in scat tering and illogical comments, however edify ing in themselves, on the successive verses of a passage. They are rather, as the Old Scotch Uncle expresses it, sinking a mine doon into some definite and segregated portion of Holy Writ, With a view to bringing up and into clear est emphasis its central teaching, and at the same time grouping all its subordinate thoughts in some living order around the leading idea. The effort to do this in a few instances ex plains the title oi this little volume, and gives shape to the discussions herein recorded.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
