Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Importance of Mature Preparatory Study for the Ministry: An Introductory Lecture, Delivered at the Opening of the Summer Session of the Theological Seminary at Princeton, New-Jersey, July 3, 1829 Beloved Pupils, The subject to which I have resolved to direct your attention on the present occasion, is the great importance of candidates for the holy ministry, going through a mature and adequate course of professional study, before entering on their public work. The friends of this Institution have often remarked, with surprize and regret, how very small a portion of those who study here, can be prevailed upon to remain for three years, and to complete the regular course. Seldom, if ever, I think, have we been able to persuade as many as one half of. any class to continue their studies to the close of the prescribed period. Many stay but half the usual time; others not more than a third ∂ and some, after spending with us a single short summer session, have gone forth, and announced themselves to the churches as pupils of our Seminary. Against this great, and, I fear, undiminishing evil, the Professors have, from time to time, raised the voice of solemn remonstrance: the Board of Directors have, once and again, recorded their pointed testimony: and the General Assembly have expressed their utter disapprobation, in terms which might have been expected to be decisive in their influence on all considerate minds. Still the deplorable evil in question continues to prevail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
