Excerpt from Primary Convictions: Being Discussions of Which the Greater Part Were Delivered in the Church of the Heavenly Rest, Before the President, Faculties, and Students of Columbia College in the City of New York
It may be well to state the occasion from which this volume sprang and the object at which it aims.
In the summer of 1891 the author received a graceful letter from the Bishop of New York, inviting him to visit that city in the Lent of the following year. The Bishop wrote as the representative of the Trustees of Columbia College. It was their wish to give renewed effect to an old foundation of that celebrated school of science and learning, by endowing a series of Conferences or Discussions, primarily addressed to the students of the college, upon subjects connected with the Evidences of Christianity, to be delivered in some suitable and convenient church.
The greater number of these Discussions were accordingly spoken in substance in the Church of the Heavenly Rest, New York, in March, 1892. They were preceded by brief services of prayer and praise - perhaps the sweetest and most spiritually harmonious at which the preacher ever assisted.
