From the Foreword. ...We have had in recent years several notable Courses of Lyman Beecher Lectures discussing the relation of the pulpit to the Great War and to the vast and intricate problems which it created. Dr. John Kelman lectured on "The War and Preaching;" Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin considered the issues involved "In a Day of Social Rebuilding." Dr. William P. Merrill considered "The Freedom of the Preacher" as affected by recent developments. We have had other courses dealing particularly with the theological, the educational, the social phases of the minister's vocation in these grave times upon which we have fallen. We have not had for thirty years a series of Lyman Beecher Lectures dealing directly with the technique of preaching. It has seemed fitting therefore that as a teacher of homiletics and as one whose main office for many years has been that of preaching, I should take up in a more intimate way the making of a sermon. I have not attempted anything so ambitious as a thoroughgoing treatise on homiletics. This book contains a series of lectures filled mainly with practical suggestions as to "the art of preaching." I have retained the form of direct personal address as best suited to the purpose in mind. The expressions which have come from the students who heard the lectures have encouraged me to hope that these words may have value for some of my brother ministers in active service who are sharing in the heat and burden of a day made difficult to all of us as preachers by the tense and troubled conditions of our modern life. The reluctance of multitudes of thoughtful people to "sit under our preaching" after the manner of their more patient forefathers, becomes a kind of challenge to do our bit in a more interesting and a more effective way. How difficult a task it is I have learned full well by oft-repeated, humbling experiences. Yet in the face of everything, I still believe with all my heart (as I believed thirty-three years ago when I was first ordained) that to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is the highest office and the most alluring interest to which any human being can be called.
