Excerpt from Twenty-Five Sermons of Twenty-Five Years
Dear Friends and Parishioners:
For more than two years, I had cherished the thought that, if I should remain your minister twenty-five years, I would print a volume of discourses selected from those years, and have it ready as a surprise gift to you on the twenty-fifth anniversary. But the pressure of ordinary work delayed my entering on the execution of this purpose until last summer's vacation; and then I found that the task of preparing and getting through the press such a book was too great for the limited time at command. The anniversary came, and only a beginning had been made. In an unguarded moment, I expressed to one of you my disappointment at not having completed this intention; and thus I let out my secret. From that time, the purpose became yours; and you now make the gift to yourselves.
