Excerpt from Prevailing Prayer: Sermons Preached in the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church
When a morning sermon of the author was ended, a friend said to him, "You are preaching these days out of your experience." This remark, coined in the sympathy of a christian heart, was the occasion of fruitful meditation. It led to the conclusion, that, if one does not in his preaching give out the results of truth in his experience, he is either a parrot echoing what someone else has said, or a mere theorist - a dreamer who does not have even the terraced hills, aglow with the setting sunlight, of Jacob's Bethel for a background of suggestion.
The following chapters are results of what the author believes to be truth working in his life experience. The thoughts are the flashing sparks from his own heart realizations. If they touch you at a point of need with helpfulness, he will have the joy which he craves, and which has been the inspiration of his toil. He may never know the result of the intended good; but
"Sometime well understand,"
and the chords of harmony will vibrate with the unison note of good given and received.
