Excerpt from The Rising the Setting Faith and Other Discourses
I am to speak this morning on the mission of the radical preacher. The first question is whether the radical preacher has any mission; for this is asserted and challenged. One said to me lately, "Why do you preach? What right have you to preach? You have no creed; you speak with no authority; you claim no revelation; you stand in no apostolic succession; you have no inspired word; you claim to have no special call; you are where you are by no supernatural invitation, by no unseen commission. You are simply one whose opinion weighs for what it is worth, whose words stand for the amount of truth that lies behind them, whose assertion is fortified perhaps by character, possibly by intelligence, peradventure by knowledge, but surely by these alone, by nothing beyond or above these, and by these, no more than they are possessed by any body else in the community.
