Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Times and the Man: An Address The brief time left at my disposal, after the invitation was given me to address you this morning, precluded any carefully prepared paper, such as is commonly furnished on an occasion like this. I therefore was diffident about acceding to the request of the Faculty, feeling that I could not do justice to myself; but I finally consented, in the humble hope that what I might furnish would accomplish some good to the cause in which I am so deeply interested, even if it redounded little to my own credit as a literary performance. The theme I have selected, "The Times and the Man," is so thoroughly practical, and so fairly within the scope of my ministerial experience and observation, as I shall treat it, that I shall at least escape the criticism of a well-known professor on young preachers, namely, that they would do so much better by simply "telling people what they knew instead of trying to tell them what they did not know." I simply propose to give you some of the experience gained, and the conclusions reached after a ministry of over thirty years, that you may esteem it for what it may be worth, and may secure what profit from it you can. Not many, I am sure, can labor for over a generation in the ministry of the gospel in this stirring century without enjoying experiences, and forming opinions which may profit others. Experience is well likened by Coleridge to the "stern light of a vessel, casting its gleam upon the path which has been traversed." But as all of our paths cross the same sea of life, and are not far removed from each other, the path I have traversed may help to guide others. The lapse of a generation finds me tenaciously holding all the great doctrines of the faith which I resolved in my youth to proclaim to my fellow-men. But I cannot, after thirty years´ experience, feel satisfied that a man should desire to preach the gospel to-day just as he did thirty years ago.
