Excerpt from The Modern Pulpit: A Study of Homiletic Sources and Characteristics

The difficulties of his task and the inadequacy Of its realization are fully recognized by the author. It isa large generalization, and a sense of insufficiency is inevitable both for reader and writer. But in a field hitherto but little worked, one may make a venture even without the assurance of supreme success. Full access at first hand to all the material with which the volume deals cannot, of course, be claimed. But with most of the preachers Of the last century and of our own day, to whom reference has been made, he is fairly familiar at first hand.

Many distinguished names that are an honor to the modern pulpit are reluctantly omitted from these pages. Exclusion has been a difficult task. But limitations of personal acquaintance and the limits of the volume must justify it.

Despite the largeness of his venture and the defects Of its execution, the writer is not without hope that it may become tributary in some measure to a better knowledge Of what lies back Of the preaching of our day and to a somewhat more intelligent estimate Of its value. With this desire at least he commits his venture to whatever fortunes may await it.
