Three Fundamental Methods of
Preaching. The Writing of Ser-
mons, The, article on, by Prof.
Edwards A. Park, 566; definition
of terms, 556; a fourth method,
the intermingling of the three
methods, 567; Dr. Hall's method
of preaching, 568; questions of
the preferableness of method:
neither universally preferable,
569; the three methods should
be intermingled, 570; a majority
of a man's sermons should be
preached extempore, 571; three
different methods of writing, 572;
the whole sermon may be written
in the preacher's most elaborate
style, 572; this method of writing
requires time, 573; good results
of this method, 574; it gives a
useful discipline to the preacher's
intellect, 574; to his heart, 575;
it stimulates preacher and people
to obtain large views of truth,
575; it promotes the literary, as
well as religious, education of the
people, 576; gives authority to
the preacher, 577; it imparts va-
riety to the preacher's ministra-
tion, 578; it prepares the minister
for exigencies, 579; it qualifies a
man to preach extempore, 580;
it tends to perpetuate the minis-
ter's influence, 582; evil results
of the plan: danger of repressing
the life and elasticity of sermons
by minute criticism in the words,
584; a minister may improve
himself while he may not improve
the sermon, 585; danger of be-
littling himself by too much labor
on a single discourse, 586; John
Foster's example, 587; danger of
spending time in writing sermons
which may be spent in writing
books, 589; of neglecting extem-
porary sermons, 590; of failing

to make a good impression on the
people, 591; a second method,
in which not the whole, but por-
tions, of a sermon are written in
the best manner, 593; a third
method, writing without premedi-
tation, 595; evil effects of this
mode of writing, 596; Carlyle's
description of this mode, 597;
rules for the writing of sermons,
707; strive to make external cir-
cumstances, and especially the
physical state, conducive to facil-
ity in writing, 707; the place,
707; the time, 708; the physical
condition, 710; gluttony to be
guarded against, 711; indolence,
712; hold up before the mind a
high ideal of a sermon, but sacri-
fice minutiae to general useful-
ness, 714; the maxim that a min-
ister should not preach beyond his
own experience, 714; that he
should not preach beyond the
experience of his hearers, 715;
an appropriate interest in what
one is writing to be cultivated,
717; a theme fixed upon such as
one chooses to write on, 717;
write with a hearty love to the
subject, 718; the emotions of sor-
row or pity corresponding to the
subject should be felt by the writer,
718; do justice to the subject,
and so enliven your interest in it,
719; avoid all processes which
damp ardor in writing, 719; the
theme of one elaborate sermon
should be made a prominent ob-
ject of interest till that subject is
finished, 720; the hope of seeing
good results to be cultivated, 721;
and the expectation of immediate
benefit, 721; write in a state of
awakened religious feeling, 722;
the appropriate excitement of the
sensibilities an aid to accuracy of
composition, 722; free and full
play should be given to the mind
while meditating on the subject
of discourse, 723; importance of
writing down just such thoughts
as occur, and as they occur, after
a theme has been chosen, 725; a
full mastery of the theme to be
obtained, 727; the discourse should

be penned rapidly, 728; writing
should be done continuously, 730;
after writing, criticise and amend,
730; consistency of celerity of
writing with careful elaboration,
731; quotation from Paley, 732;
in criticism the chief object should
be the idea rather than the man-
ner of expressing it, 733; note
down, while writing one part of
a sermon, thoughts which may
occur appropriate to another part,
735; avoid unnecessary fatigue,
736; a reason for the superior
impressiveness of the older divines
that they went from the closet to
the pulpit, 738.

Ways to Rome. Article on, by Francis
Wharton, D.D., 417; critical re-
marks on Nippold's Welche Wege
führen nach Rome, 417; causes
of many perversions to Rome, 421;
disgust with the political present,
421; disgust with the literary
present, 424; disgust with the
present in art, 426; Protestant
churches built with a view to
hearing, Romish with a view to
seeing, 426; objections of Protes-
tants to pictures and statues, 428;
disgust with the social and the
moral present, 430; the belief that
certainty and rest are to be found
where the external and formal
are immutable, 431; conservatism
does not, as a matter of course,
involve immutability of form or
frame, 432; the rest which is
found in Rome merely superficial,
434; Rome has preserved the
surface unchanged while truth has
assumed a different form, 434; as
illustrated in the Orientalims of
the New Testament, 434; with

regard to inspiration, 435; the
visible church, 435; usages and
rites, 436; disgust with orthodoxy,
439; reaction from orthodox se-
verity not a motive power propel-
ling to Rome, 439; as shown in
the history of Scotland and Eng-
land, 440; theological certainty
not secured at Rome, 442; results
of the late council, 440.

What can be done for Augmenting

the Number of Christian Minis-
ters, article on, by Prof. Edwards
A. Park, 60; prayer, the most
expeditious means; all prayer to
be accompanied with labor, 61;
errors which hold back many from
the ministry, 61; that a man des-
titute of the moral qualifications
is not obligated to become a min-
ister, 61; that ministers more than
all others are doomed to a life of
uncompensated self-denial, 65; not
religious men alone doomed to
suffer peculiar hardships, 67; there
are valuable clerical compensa-
tions, 67; errors of the parishes,
as well as of young men, 68; that
the sensibilities of pastors are not
to be cared for, 68; not a suffi-
cient reason for not being a minis-
ter, that a young man has not the
spirit to encounter the worst evils
of the pastorate, 70; in order to
increase the number of Christian
ministers, the interest of the peo-
ple in Christian instruction must
be increased, 73; young men
moved by sympathy with the peo-
ple as well with each other, 74;
parishes of New England formerly
allowed their pastors time for re-
tirement and study, 75; erudition
of the older ministers, 76; the
minister must have means for
Biblical study, 77; ministers should
be encouraged to become authors
of religious books, 78; mode of
giving to both ministers and peo-
ple the requisite taste for sacred

study, 79; studies checked by the
want of books, 80; the pastorate
should be accommodated to the
varying exigencies of the people,
82; chances of population in New
England requiring correspondent
changes among churches and min-
isters, 82; some ministers to be
more and others less thoroughly
educated, 84; necessity for the
reconversion of men who have
been converted once, 86; attach-
ment to pursuits uncongenial with
the gospel the cause of the reluct-
ance of young men to enter the
ministry, 87; the blame of this
reluctance not due to the young
men alone nor to the churches
alone, 88; necessity of a better
life in those who are already
preachers, 89; the objection to
entering the ministry, drawn from
the smallness of its pecuniary sup-
ports sometimes answered by
asserting that it is as great as that
given to other men of equal merit,
90; by asserting that inadequacy
of support does not diminish the
number of ministers, 91; quotation
from "Statement of Facts respect-
ing Minister's Salaries," 91; ex-
tracts from a letter of Pres. Ed-
wards, in opposition to the prac-
tice of lay-preaching, 95; extract
bearing on the same point from
Johnson's "Wonder-working Prov-
idence of Sion's Saviour in New
England," 99.
