Excerpt from The Law of Growth: And Other Sermons IT is interesting to know, of any one Whose char acter and ways Of thought we are studying, what words are Oftenest upon his tongue. And it would seem as if this proverb, which I have just quoted from Him, were a favorite utterance of Jesus. Three of the Evangelists record it, and the circum stances with which they connect it are different. St. Matthew mentions two occasions on which Christ us...

Excerpt from The Light of the World: And Other Sermons Sometimes Jesus gathers His work and nature up in one descriptive word, and offers it, as it were out of a wide-open hand, complete to His disciples. In such a word all the details of His relation to the soul and to the world are comprehensively included. As the dis ciple listens and receives it, he feels all his fragmentary and scattered experiences drawing together and round ing into un...

Excerpt from The Influence of Jesus Hat is the power of Christianity over man, - its source, its character, its issue? This is the question which I wish to study with you in these four lectures which I have been invited to deliver. But it is necessary at the outset that I should indicate the limits within which I wish to work. All that the subject, as I have stated it, would include, not four nor forty lectures could undertake to treat. Abou...

Excerpt from Tolerance: Two Lectures, Addressed to the Students of Several of the Divinity Schools of the Protestant Episcopal Church I have accepted with grateful pleasure the privilege of meeting you upon two evenings and talking to you upon Tol erance. I chose that subject because I had long vaguely thought of lecturing upon it, and also because it seemed to me as if there were no group of men to whom one could so fitly speak upon it as a ...

Excerpt from Brilliants From the Writings of the Right Reverend Phillips Brooks: Bishop of Massachusetts Of the essential life of the Church, of the truly living Church, what can we say but this? that it is that which most completely feels that it was made for men, not men for it, which, therefore, lives only as it lives in them, which strives for nothing but to open more and more the channels of life from Christ to them? In such a church and...

Excerpt from The Candle of the Lord and Other Sermons: Second Series And now, regarding all this lighting of life from life, two things are evident, the same two which appeared in the story of the candle and its ¿ame: First, there must be a correspondency of nature between the two, and second, there must be a cordial obedience of the less to the greater. The nature which cannot feel the other nature's warmth, even if it is held close to it, a...

Excerpt from True Liberty It is because the Christian Scriptures have laid most earnestly hold of this idea, it is because it was represented not simply in the words which Christ said. But in the very being which Christ was, that we go to them to get the inspiration and the indication, the revelation and the enlight coment which we need. I have read to you these few words in which Christ declares the whole subject. The whole character of whic...

Excerpt from Pansies Mere pain is not education, does not bring growth. It is the suffering of willing submission to God that softens and spiritualises and blesses us. To pass out of the great, inspiring thoughts into the personal duties is not to cease to be religious.It not need to be, at last. It may be the clothing of religion with reality, the grip and grasp on truth and God and light. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hun...

Excerpt from Twenty Sermons Truth is vague and helpless until men believe it. Men are weak and frivolous till they believe in truth. To furnish truth to the believing heart, and to furnish believing hearts to truth, certainly there is no nobler office for a human life than that and the doc trine which I want to preach to you to-day is that the human life or human nature is so made as to ful fil just that office. How can we better tell the sto...

They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answer...

Excerpt from Lectures on Preaching: Delivered Before the Divinity School of Yale College in January and February, 1877 Let me say one word more in introduction. He who is called upon to give these lectures cannot but remember that they are given every year, and that he has had very able and faithful predecessors.
