Excerpt from Point and Purpose in Preaching
In the preparation of these pages the aim has been to give that which would be practical and helpful to the young minister who is beginning to find out that he didn't learn all there is to know from his theological professor.
No claim is made for complete originality in what is given, but all that is said has passed through the alembic of personal experience. Much has been assimilated from a very wide acquaintance and association with many kinds of preachers; some has come through close observation and careful study of those who, like the Master, were always gladly heard by the common people, and still more, perhaps, has come from reading and reflection.
A young woman, who had studied Latin for a couple of weeks and then stopped, explained that she only wanted to get an insight into it, but to know anything about preaching we have got to go very much deeper than that. We must not only go at it, but keep everlastingly at it. Learning how to preach is much like learning how to swim. Others may tell us how to do it, but the thing that counts is the paddling we do ourselves.
