Excerpt from Preachers and Preaching Open to the Gospel as they never were before, and are waiting for its light. True, paganism has lost none of its sullen resistance to the truth; and popery is what it was in the days of its Gregorys and Johns; and Islamism is what it was in the days of its Omars; but the Spirit of might has departed from them all, and the ways of access to their swarming millions are Open; and we now, more than ever, need an earnest ministry to lead on the Church to enter these ways and to occupy the land. And the Objects of this volume are, in the spirit of brotherly love, to incite the entire ministry of the Church Oi God to higher zeal and earnestness in its great work; to make it more efficient at home and abroad; to raise it up to the place which God design ed it should hold in the world's civilization, and to Show to the Church its duty to the ministry.
