Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Preacher´s Promptuary of Anecdote: Stories, New and Old, Arranged, Indexed, and Classified, for the Use of Preachers, Teachers and Catechists There is a story told of a devout old woman, whose Bible contained a large number of passages underlined, whilst in the margin were the letters T and P. On being asked by a friend to explain the meaning of these letters, she said these were promises and other sentences of God´s Holy Word, which she herself had tried, and which she had proved to be true by her own experience. And it occurred to the author that some such letters might very well have been placed in the margin of many of the following pages, seeing that most of the stories herein contained have been proved and tested by that most critical of audiences, a congregation of children, and have succeeded in interesting them and rivetting their attention. For it is often matter of complaint by those who make large use of anecdotes in their sermons, instructions, and addresses, that the ordinary Cyclopædias and Collections of stories contain so much ´padding´ and extraneous matter, so many anecdotes and illustrations, which, however good and interesting in themselves, are utterly unusable, and of no practical value to the catechist, the preacher, or the teacher. The constant search for suitable stories and anecdotes being thus rendered so great a labour as sometimes to resemble the ´hunt for a needle in a bottle of hay,´ it struck the author that possibly it might be helpful to others and to himself, were he to gather together, in a handy volume, such stories as he himself had told, either in catechizing children, or in sermons, or in addresses delivered in the wards of the Union Workhouse.
