Book Description
Excerpt from Complete Works, Vol. 1: Comprising Sermons, Letters, Lectures, Speeches, Etc Having heard many persons, admirers of the late Archbishop Hughes, express a wish that his public lectures, letters and speeches might be collected and published in book form, the compiler of this volume has, after some deliberation, undertaken the task, which, he trusts, will prove acceptable to the Catholic community in general. The following pages are the first installment, and will be immediately followed by another volume of about the same size, which will complete the work. The biographical sketch merely touches upon the principal events in His Grace's career, but is the most complete one yet published. The speeches of His Grace on the School Question - a question which first brought him prominently before the New York public - will, no doubt, be read with pleasure as well as profit by thousands who have heard of these great efforts of Dr. Hughes, but who have had no chance heretofore of reading them. His speeches before the Board of Aldermen, as well as his great Three Days' Speech in Carroll Hall on this question, will be found in this volume in full. Other important documents are also given entire. The concluding volume will also contain important writings of Archbishop Hughes, which should be read by every Catholic in the land.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures on Homiletics and Preaching, and on Public Prayer: Together With Sermons and Letters In entering on my labors as Bartlet Professor of Sacred Rhetoric in this Seminary, I found the office to be in some respects a new one, in the business of theological instruction. After an examination of the many books that have been written on Rhetoric in general, and the comparatively few that have been written on Sacred Rhetoric, it became manifest, that I must be called to traverse a field, to a considerable extent untrodden by any predecessor. One of the first difficulties which met me, as an Instructor of our Senior Class, was the want of any single work, that I was satisfied to put into their hands, as a d104-Book on Homiletics. The best thing of the kind, as far as it went, was Fenelon's Dialogues; but this little work is too limited in its range of subjects, and too desultory, as to classification of the matter which it does contain, to occupy any considerable time of students so advanced in knowledge, as our Senior Class are expected to be. This deficiency is not supplied, in any adequate manner, by Claude's Essay; - nor by the few judicious Lectures of Blair, on preaching; - nor by those of Campbell, on Pulpit Eloquence. This state of the case left me no option as to the course to be pursued. It was plainly necessary for me to adapt my instructions to the immediate necessities of my pupils, and to give them aid on those principles which they were at once to apply in practice. Hence my precepts took a systematic form, as designed to exhibit a connected view of the points which come in requisition with a theological student, just beginning to compose sermons. Next to a warm and sanctified heart, and a sound understanding, knowledge respecting his own sacred employment is necessary to make the preacher a workman that needeth not to be ashamed. No man can learn to preach by study merely. He must be taught of God, or he will never understand the gospel. - He must love Christ, or he will never feel the motives of the gospel, nor exhibit its truths in demonstration of the Spirit and with power. But neither will piety alone render him skilful and powerful in the pulpit. Besides respectable native endowments, he must have others that can result only from study. The preaching of the gospel is a science, which has elementary principles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Lectures, Sermons, Addresses and Letters of Rev. D. W. Cahill: With a Biographical Sketch In giving to the public, in book form, a biography of the Rev. D. W. Cahill, with nearly all the rich literary legacy he has left in the form of lecture, sermon, letter, and public address, we hope that we shall earn the gratitude of all who love what is transcendently valuable, grand, and racy in the English language. Here especially do we look for the reward of our labor, in point of esteem and patronage from his countrymen, by whom he was so deeply and deservedly beloved, and whose affection he returned with all the fervor of his ardent temperament and kindly nature. In his great devotion to that faith to which he was a model in practice as well as in exposition, every good priest will find a stimulant to his piety and zeal. In his ardent patriotism, so often displayed in action, as well as in his own burning, eloquent words, every Irishman and lover of literature will find something to be proud of, to admire, and to imitate; and in the charity and blameless record of his life every Christian can read a profitable lesson. As he was a giant in intellect and a hero in the moral beauty of his life, it would require a pen of surpassing power to draw his literary portrait. But as it is none of the purpose of a preface to assume the work of the essayist or reviewer, we will confine ourself to indicating a few of our reasons for undertaking this literary task, and a few of the most salient points of its purpose and utility. As a preacher and a lecturer, Dr. Cahill has ever been classed among the most eloquent and profound of his age, whilst in the abstract mathematics, he had few if any rivals.

Excerpt from Sermons and Lectures In such a family - where high faith combined with leisure and culture Tagore was born in 1860. Of imagina tion all compact, with a soul as fine as woven silk, he was a born poet, mystic, and seeker after God. To his child mind, as he has told us in one of his letters, the world seemed like a fairy palace, full of beauty, mystery. And joy. Hear his musings at the age of six.

Book Description
Excerpt from Letters and Sketches of Sermons, in Threee Volumes, Vol. 2 of 3 I have been interested in an account given by a friend, who had placed his son with an uncle who was not very friendly to what they denominate my principles. The good gentleman was in the habit of taking his family to church on the Sabbath; and on Sunday morning, the child, about twelve years of age, was ordered to get ready to attend with the rest. He sighed deeply, and discovered manifest reluctance Come, my boy, said the uncle, why do you not get ready Why, Sir, I would rather not go. Why so, pray I believe what they call Mr. Murray's doctrine, Sir. You do 1 Pray what have you to do with Mr. Murray's doctrine Why, Sir, I think it is God's word, I read it all in the Bible. Well, suppose it is, why should that discourage you from going to meeting Why, Sir, it makes me feel bad, when I hear the minister telling the people the word of God is a lie Why, you young rogue, you never heard any minister say so. But, Sir, they say our Saviour is not the Saviour of all men, and God says he is, and that is saying the word of God is a lie. Well, my boy, if you stay with me, you most go to meeting. If you insist upon it, Sir, I must but I am sure, Sir, you would not like to go your self if you loved God. Why so, pray Because, Sir, if you loved God you would not like to hear so much had said of him. The observations of this child were impressed upon the mind of the uncle, he could not erase them, and happening to be in this town on business, he has attended the ministry of reconciliation, and has been so fully convinced of the truth, that he attended me home to my lodgings, communicated many particulars relative to the exercise of his mind, repeated this story of his nephew, and confessed himself fully established in the truth.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lectures and Sermons We must silence every voice, said Fenelon, must silence ourselves also to hear in a profound stillness of the soul those inexpressible things. The voice of the Bible is very much, but without this living, efficacious word within the outward word of the gos pel will seem but'an empty sound. Add to this the witness of St. Augus tine, who told us so many rich things because he knew how to listen.
