Excerpt from Prevailing Prayer: Sermons Preached in the Grace Methodist Episcopal ChurchWhen a morning sermon of the author was ended, a friend said to him, You are preaching these days out of your experience. This remark, coined in the sympathy of a christian heart, was the occasion of fruit ful meditation. It led to the conclusion, that, if one does not in his preaching give out the results of truth in his experience, he is either a parrot echoing what some one else has said, or a mere theorist - a dreamer who does not have even the terraced hills, aglow with the setting sunlight, of Jacob's Bethe] for a background of suggestion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
