Excerpt from Phillips Brooks: An Appreciation Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of Phillips Brooks. It is fitting that we do something more than simply dwell upon the circumstances of his death and burial. Let us make a serious attempt to appreciate the great gift our heavenly Father gave us in him, and through his preaching. I shall speak of him as man and as minister, and this is the true order, for he was born a man, and he was made a minister.
