Excerpt from The Works of Leonard Woods, D.D, Vol. 1 of 5: Lately Professor of Christian Theology in the Theological Seminary, Andover While I have been employed in revising these Lectures, my thoughts have frequently been directed to that pleasant room, where I met you in successive classes, from day to day, for a long series of years, and where the most momentous of all subjects en gaged our united attention. As we proceeded in our investigations, we came to the pleasing conclusion that, although our faculties are circumscribed, we mag, within our proper limits, attain to a far more complete knowledge, than is commonly apprehended; and also, that, in examining the various doctrines of theology, we should hold fast that which is clear and certain, and leave that which is obscure and doubtful to those who delight in it. From the Lecture-room my thoughts have passed with lively emotions to the Wednesday Evening Conference, to our Chapel services on the Sabbath, to our days of fasting and prayer, and to our private intercourse.
