Excerpt from Phillips Brooks' Addresses: With IntroductionPhillips brooks never Spoke on public occa sions without saying something notable. His Lenten addresses at Trinity Church were so good that people hung upon his lips for the simplest word that he uttered. When he went to New York to give addresses in the venerable old Trinity Church at the head of Wall Street, it seemed as if the whole financial world was eager to crowd into that ancient edifice and hear of its duties and have pointed out its way to the king dom of heaven by this greatest of modern evan gelists. Phillips Brooks had the rare faculty of never speaking nonsense: he never gushed in religion; he always respected the inborn nobil ity of men and addressed himself to a sinner as if he were a child of God.

New Starts in Life: And Other Sermons (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from New Starts in Life: And Other SermonsA man has faded out Of the real happiness and strength Of life who does not know what that exhila ration is, who does not feel the brightness of the picture which this verse draws. It is sad indeed when any man comes to that state in which each new day does not seem in some true sense to begin the world anew, recalling every departed hope and brightening every faded color Of the night before. There is a human instinct which tells us that our life, while it is meant to have a great continuousness and to be always one, is no less meant to be full of new starts, to be ever refreshing its forces and be ginning once again. The true proportion between these two feelings, between the sense Oi continuity and the sense Of ever new beginning, makes the fin est, the freshest, and the primest life. We may picture to ourselves two rivers Of wholly different kinds. One is a great, broad, quiet stream, ever moving swiftly but smoothly on, unbroken by rapids, majestic in its calm and noble monotony, each mile Of its great course seeming like every other mile, so perfectly and evidently is it everywhere itself. Its great thought is continuity. The other river is a mountain torrent. Broken and stopped perpetually.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)

Excerpt from Lectures on Preaching: Delivered Before the Divinity School of Yale College in January and February, 1877 Let me say one word more in introduction. He who is called upon to give these lectures cannot but remember that they are given every year, and that he has had very able and faithful predecessors. There are certainly, therefore, some things which he may venture to omit without being supposed to be either ignorant or careless of them. There are certain first principles, of primary importance, which he may take for granted in all that he says. They are so funda mental, that they must be always present, and their power must pervade every treatment of the work which is built upon them. But they need not be de liberately stated anew each year. It would make these courses of lectures very monotonous; and one may venture to assume that there are some elemen tary principles upon whose truth all students of the ology are agreed, and whose importance they all feel.

Excerpt from Perennials: Selections From the Writings of the Rt. Rev. Phillips Brooks, D.D., Arranged for Each Day of the YearWhen a man starts afresh, either with the newness of a new year, or with the stimulus of altered circumstances, or with the inspiration of a new work, what his start ought to do for him is to refresh the deepest principles by which he lives. In a new beginning men ought to feel, and in some way more or less clear they do feel, what they are and what great powers are at work upon them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
