Making of the Sermon

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Although we may be disposed to challenge the implication which it contains, I think we may all join in Thomas Carlyle's sentiment when he wrote: I wish he could find the point again - this speak ing one, and stick to it with tenacity, with deadly energy - for there is need of him yet. Rather than encumber the pages of the book with the many formal divisions needed in the class room, I have prefixed to each chapter a summary of its contents, analyzed for the benefit of the stu dent. For the index which may better answer the purposes of the ordinary reader, I am indebted to the generous offices of my friend, the Rev. R. Kerr Eccles, M. D., of Bowling Green, Ohio.
