Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Creeds and Critics: Being Occasional Papers on the Theology of the Christian Creed This was a common feeling among some of his keenest admirers. It was also a sentiment based, perhaps, upon no very adequate regard for the much-abused calling of journalism. But Dr. Holland was a born journalist. What leaders might he not have written, say, in the Times! What swift, salted, penetrating notes might he not have sent to the Spectator! After preaching, nothing, I think, delighted him more than to fling off his quick thoughts on passing events. He revelled in newspapers. He rapidly obtained their vital information. In a flash he would pick out the heart of their columns, all the while exclaiming, commenting, interpreting their mind and meaning. The journalist within responded to the journalist without. He had that rare gift of catching the spirit of an article by merely glancing at it. Very seldom was it necessary for him to plod solidly through a printed page. This was true also of books. To be read aloud to was a thing he never tired of. It never bored him. And during the process he habitually seemed to be just a page ahead of the reader ; he anticipated what was to come, what was to be said, so that often he had laughed his own laugh at some pleasing phrase long before the reader himself was aware of anything there to laugh at at all.
