Excerpt from The Liberty of Prophesying: With Its Just Limits and Temper Considered With Reference to the Circumstances of the Modern Church, Lyman Beecher Lectures Delivered 1909, Before the Yale Divinity School, and Three SermonsIt must, of course, be frankly owned that I chose a subject which was apparently and acutely controversial. I did so with a very definite design of directing attention to the grave situa tion into which the Christian preacher has been brought by the circumstances of the time, and of emphasizing certain manifest but most diffi cult obligations which that situation imposes. Nor was I wholly without hope that my handling of a theme so perplexing, however inadequate and even unworthy in itself, might have the effect of inducing abler and better men on both sides of the Atlantic to address themselves to its frank and practical consideration.In addressing the clergy I have never lost sight of the laity.
