Articles liés à The War and Preaching
Présentation de l'éditeur
Introductory Reality IT would be impossible too strongly to express my sense of the honour which this University has conferred upon me in inviting me to deliver these lectures here. The lectures themselves must be my attempt at acknowledgment, and I am deeply conscious how inadequately that attempt has been achieved. Yet it comforts me to remember that I shall not speak as a stranger among you, but as one of yourselves, and that your judgment will be accordingly tempered. I shall never forget the Graduation Day of 1917. I had come to you frcwn the front in Flanders, and from a long tour of lecturing on the subject of the war in the Middle West and in the Southern States of A merica. I had seen your great nation passing through the most critical and the most fateful hour of all its history. It seemed to me that day, when through your graciousness I sat among you as a graduate of Yale, that I felt the mighty heart-throb with which America rose and plunged into the most stupendous war of history. And in that hour I was not only among you, I was one of you, et ego in A rcadia, and the heartthrob was within my own breast as it was in yours. When one remembers that more than forty courses of these lectures have already been delivered and published, it would seem that there can be nothing left to say. Yet I take it that the thing which you mainly desire is the result of the lecturers own experience, what he personally has found preaching to be. Each man sees and faces the world anew, and finds something in it for himself.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
