Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 36 Art. I. - The Grounds of Faith. A Series of Four Lectures, by the Rev. H. E. Manning. London: Burns and Lambert, 1852. A story is told of one of the Esquire Bedels of Oxford, that, being on his death-bed, he sent for some one to administer spiritual consolation to him. The clergyman who came reminded him of the special privilege he had, by virtue of his office, enjoyed, of assisting at all the sermons preached by the greatest lights of the University. "Yes, Sir," the man replied, "for six-and-thirty years I have listened to the discourses delivered from the pulpit of the University, and, thank God, I die a Christian." This is discouraging, and more especially in a religious communion, which enjoins on its members that, as the necessary part of a Christian education, "they shall chiefly be called upon to hear sermons." But we are not come to this. Amongst ourselves people sometimes complain of sermons being too long or too dull - that they take no pleasure in assisting at them, and feel them to be a bore, but that the result of a long course of sermons should be such as we have referred to, we must regard as a development belonging exclusively to a false communion. But why is it that the faithful are oftentimes found to complain of preaching as if it a were a thing rather to be endured than delighted in?
