Fraternal Camp-Meeting Sermons J G Patterson

THIS book was spoken, not written. Its rhetoric is, therefore, subject only to the criticism which belongs to oraldiscourse, reported by a skillful hand, with no time for careful revision by its several authors. Let the reader put himself in the position of a hearer, addressed by a living embassador of Christ, and he will, I trust, soon feel, if he does not say, " Howforcible are right words." In this book, as in extemporaneous address, "style is the man himself," throwing deep down into the souls of his hearers God's message from heaven. No other form of discourse has equal power over the minds and hearts of listening readers.
