Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from College of Colleges The "Summer School for College Students," held at Northfield, Massachusetts, from June 30 to July 12, 1887, was an occasion in many respects without precedent. During the twelve days of its continuance, at least four hours each day were spent in listening to addresses and discussions of signal value. To attempt to reflect in print the entire proceedings of the public meetings, not to speak of the informal conferences, would require a library rather than a single volume. Hence, in the preparation of the present work, the omission of a vast quantity of matter well worthy of preservation was inevitable. Included therein were several important discourses which were dropped with the less regret inasmuch as they have either been published in substance elsewhere, or are frequently delivered in the course of evangelistic work. The brevity of the time - four weeks - assigned for the execution of the task has precluded the possibility of securing a revision by the several speakers of the transcript of their words. Nevertheless it is believed that the extemporaneous form of their utterances - less finished, perhaps, than a strictly literary form would be yet certainly not less fresh, flowing, and readable - ha been accurately reproduced.
