Excerpt from The Social Order: Lectures Delivered in the Course in Pastoral Functions at Yale Divinity School, 1908-1909

HE lectures in this volume were selected from a supplementary course of constant instruction in 1908 - 9 at Yale Divinity School, which attempted to cover, as far as possible, the entire field of pastoral work. They were chosen out of many, not on the ground of comparative merit, but solely on the basis of the subjects herein treated, which may be comprehended under the relation of the minister to the order of human society.

They do not adequately represent the Course in Pastoral Functions, but only one aspect of the wide and comprehensive nature of the course. It is also impossible, in a book, to give anything like complete expression to the work of the lecturers. In all cases, these instructors used what might be called the case system, setting before the student actual examples of the way in which these principles have been carried out in the pastoral work of the instructors. Indeed, the chief intent of the course is to open up to the theological student the definite, concrete tasks and problems which await him. Thus, this volume can only intimate the deeper nature of such a method of instruction and can but partially exhibit the lectures themselves, which were so intimately personal and so peculiarly illustra five as to preclude actual reproduction.

The wide-spread interest, however, in both this em phasis on the method of instruction and the particular subjects selected for this volume, has called forth so many requests for publication that it has been deemed worth while to publish the book.
