Excerpt from The Life and Death of Abraham Lincoln: A Sermon Preached at the Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia, Sunday Morning, April 23, 1865

Excerpt from Daily Thoughts From Phillips Brooks
Personality, seemed to promise a long life to him if to any man. Every one, indeed, noticed dur ing his last visit to England that he looked much thinner than he had done two years before, but he always spoke of himself as perfectly well, and his great boyish heart seemed as full as ever of love and hope and joy I noticed in him a just perceptible deepening of gravity in tone, but no diminution...

"And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day he sent them into his vineyard." - Matthew xx. 2.
The parable from which these words are taken is one of the most complete in its details of any that the Saviour ever spoke. It covers a whole day, and as we read it the whole course of the day stands out clear before us. In the words which I have quoted we are set at one moment of th...
Excerpt from Our Mercies of Re-Occupation: A Thanksgiving Sermon, Preached at the Church of the Holy Trinity, Philadelphia, November 26, 1863I have selected this passage for our text to-day, because, as I stand and look back over these last two years, I can find no truer description of the mercy that has filled them than just this - that it is the mercy of re-occupation. You will not find one natural blessing that we have not enjoyed for years...
Excerpt from Sermons: Preached in English ChurchesThe elements which make a perfect work are two - a perfect workman, and a perfect pattern. A perfect workman must have perfect faithfulness and perfect skill and so, to make any accomplish ment entirely complete, faithfulness and skill must join in the fulfilment of the perfect plan.

If any entire stranger were to come to-day into our service and watch it as it moves along from step to step, one thing would become evident to him in it all. He would see that we were beg...
Excerpt from Christ the Life and Light: Lenten Readings
As the observance of Lent becomes more general, suitable Readings for the season become more and more a necessity, or at least a desideratum. A former book of such Readings, The More Abundant Life, made of selections from the writings of Bishop Brooks, met with so much favor as to warrant the conclusion that a second one, made on the same lines, would not lack a welcome.
