Strona 72 - Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; every man's work shall be made manifest; for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
Strona 38 - ... eloquence, particularly those of Cicero, at school. When at the university, I not only read them again, but with them connected Quintilian and Aristotle. With the theories of the ancients respecting eloquence, I compared their discourses, particularly those of Isocrates, Demosthenes, Aeschines, Lysias and Cicero ; and I have always thought, that the study of these proved of more use to me than lectures upon homiletics would have done. Here I must remark, that it was reading the ancients which...
Strona 48 - ... ignorant of these disputes and discussions. The question, What connexion has philosophy with revelation, and how can the two be reconciled together ? had always been an interesting and important one to me, and it became increasingly so, from the moment I was called to deliver lectures upon theology. It is in vain for me to attempt to give you a description of the sad struggle in which I saw myself involved every morning; — a struggle which was renewed with every preparation I made for lecturing,...
Strona 63 - IX. but merely for the purpose of illustration, and showing, that others have thought and believed, as he does. In like manner, consistent with himself and in every respect faithful to his own principles, is the Supernaturalist. To him in matters of religion the Scriptures are, what reason is to the Rationalist. He makes use of the latter indeed, for the purpose of examining the claims of the Scriptures...
Strona 102 - I have always had considerable difficulty in making a proper use of pronouns. Indeed, I have taken great pains so to use them, that all ambiguity by the reference to a wrong antecedent should be impossible, and yet have often failed in the attempt.
Strona 39 - ... never uses a single flower or far-fetched expression, a conceited and remarkable phrase, or any thing that bears the least resemblance to poetical prose ; — who, on the other hand, says and delivers every thing in those terms which are the most natural, correctly distinguishing and strikingly descriptive...
Strona 65 - I discovered the most of those theologians who were laboring for the purification of the system of Christian truth. With due consideration I say the most. That there were men among them who knew well what they were about, and were genuine Rationalists, but thought it advisable not to let it be known, and hence, at heart, rejected every thing positive in religion, without questioning it at all in public, or making it a subject of dispute, was a fact too obvious to escape the notice of attentive observers....
Strona 39 - ... that bears the least resemblance to poetical prose ; — who, on the other hand, says and delivers every thing in those terms which are the most natural ; correctly distinguishing, and strikingly descriptive, and hence a man in whom are to be discovered no traces of affectation, or struggling after wit and surprising turns, or of that audacity so pleasing to many, and said to be the companion of genius ; — a man, on the contrary, who chains the...
Strona 40 - ... of the heart which they ought to do ; finally, if I can procure for my discourse a fulness without bombast, an euphony without artificial rhythm, and an easy uninterrupted current which overflows, pouring itself as it were into the ear and the heart; if I can do all this, it will constitute the eloquence which is adapted to the pulpit. Then my discourse will be clear for the intellect, easy to be remembered, exciting to the feelings, and captivating to the heart. Then I...
Strona 40 - ... uninterrupted current which overflows, pouring itself as it were into the ear and the heart ; — if I can do all this, it will constitute the eloquence which is adapted to the pulpit. Then my discourse will be clear for the intellect, easy to be remembered, exciting to the feelings and captivating to the heart. Then I shall speak of religion with that perfect simplicity, exalted dignity, and benevolent warmth, with which we ought always to speak of it.
