The Methodist Episcopal Pulpit: A Collection of Original Sermons from Living Ministers of the M. E. Church (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Methodist Episcopal Pulpit: A Collection of Original Sermons From Living Ministers of the M. E. Church

The collection of this volume of sermons, from living ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was undertaken with the approval and cc-operation of several brethren eminent for their piety and wis dom, as well as for their official standing in the church. It was hoped that the enterprise, if success ful, would result in an additionof some value to an important department of our church literature. Our preaching, from the origin of Methodism, having been for the most part extemporaneous, few preach ers have written and preserved manuscript sermons enough to form a volume. Even many of our most eminent divines and pulpit orators have left nothing behind them except the remembrance of their living efforts, and the results those efforts are continuing to produce. Hence the limited number of contributions that have been made to this branch of our literature.
