Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons, and Lectures on Moral and Historical Subjects The discourses contained in the present volume comprise the most important and beautiful of the Sermons delivered in the United States by the Very Rev. Thomas N. Burke, O.P., as well as of his Lectures on moral and historical subjects, - all of which possess an interest for the Irish-American element of the community, not only as magnificent and praiseworthy efforts of one of the most gifted living orators of their race, but also on account of the testimony which they bear to the fidelity to faith, religious fervor, and national virtue exhibited by the Irish people in every vicissitude of fortune. As specimens of pulpit oratory, nothing can be imagined finer or more impressive than those discourses; while the enlightened spirit, and broad, comprehensive views characterizing the Lectures, - in which the great wants and deficiencies of society, in the present day, are analyzed with the acumen of a mastermind and the learning of a true Christian philosopher, - render them doubly valuable, even from a purely humanitarian point of view. The secret of Father Burke's influence over his auditors, (and, indeed, over his readers, also, ) lies not so much in his eloquence - great as are his natural gifts in that particular - as in the convincing force of his sincerity, and the intensity of his zeal for the enlightenment, elevation, and sanctification of all his fellow creatures. On this point, one of the most eminent and well-known of American Catholic writers has said of the great Irish Dominican: - Father Thomas Burke is known all over Europe, as a great apostolic preacher. It is especially in Rome, where most of his life has been passed, that his reputation is so great. Wherever he goes, after he has preached once, the faithful flock around the pulpit and around the church, if he preaches a second time, as bees gather round a bed of jessamines. What is the power by which he holds, hushed and breathless, each one in a crowded congregation; alike the most learned and critical, and the rough men with little either of sentiment or education? A natural gift of oratory no one can mistake in him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures to Young Men: On Various Important Subjects Trans volume is the eldest-born of my books. It dates from 1844, and originally contained only the first seven Lectures. The Lectures were delivered on successive Sunday nights; the church was crowded during the series, - a thing that sel dom happened during my Western life. Indianapolis in 1844 contained about four thousand inhabitants, * and had not less than twelve churches of eight different denominations. The audiences of the Second Presbyterian Church, of which I was pastor, did not average five hundred in number during the eight years of my settlement. But five hundred was regarded as a large audience. The Lectures were written, each one during the week preced ing the day of its delivery. I well remember the enjoyment which I had in their preparation. They were children of early enthusiasm. I can see before me now, as plainly as then, the room which in our little ten-foot home served at once as parlor, study, and bedroom; and the writing-chair, the place by the window, and the skeleton bookcase, with a few books scattered on solitary shelves, like a handful of people in church on a rainy day.

How few there are who seem to have any but a theoretical belief that there is something at work around us besides the trees, the ﬂowers, the clouds, and the sun! We see them at work, and ask no further; ask not who makes them work, who gives them all their loveliness and liberty and life. What should we do but fall down and adore before this visible creation of an invisible and all-pervading Being?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons and Moral Discourses: For All the Sundays and Principal Festivals of the Year, on the Most Important Truths and Maxims of the Gospel Then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud, with great Power and Majesty - Luke, c. Xxi. V. 27. This being the first Sunday of Advent, the Church, in order to inspire her children with that penitential Spirit which is suitable to this holy time, displays one of the most terrifying truths of the Christian Religion, and proposes on this day to our serious consideration the tre mendons mystery of the last and general judgment, which is to decide whether we are to be the happiest or most unhappy creatures that God can make us; whether heaven, with all its infinite joys, or hell, with all its inconceivable torments, is to be our everlasting inheritance whether we are for ever to Sing joyful Alleluias with the blessed choirs of angels and saints above, or to burn eternally in ﬂames of fire, with legions of merciless devils below. The condemnation of the rich glutton who was buried in hell at the time of his death, as the Gospel informs us, and the happy end of poor Lazarus, who was immediately translated into Abraham's bosom when he departed this life, plainly shew that the soul undergoes a particular judgment, the very instant that death separates it from the body. But besides this particular judgment, there is a'day of general judgment, appointed by God, for all mankind to appear together before the awful tribunal Of Jesus Christ.

All through, there runs an under current of permanent principles, and every now and again these - like Pindar's notion of the river which ran under land and sea from Greece, and came up in sparkling freshness and beauty in the Sicilian fountain of Arethusa - these principles and truths burst up and sparkle in life and brightness, with a power and attractiveness of a new revelation. Not unnaturally, there are many truths in the sermon on the mount which have appeared in other codes of morality put forward by other religions. Not unnaturally, I say, for after all there is but one Teacher to mankind, and that is the Eternal Word The light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. That Teacher has taught men in every age as man would learn; but here the same great Teacher puts forth in fullest form those high moral laws which, in one way or another, He had to some extent imprinted on the minds of His creatures. Here is the complete statement; here is the comprehensive view. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures and Sermons As you probably know, St. John was the only one of the Apostles who died a natural death. All the others suffered martyrdom for their faith. It was given to the beloved disciple to live to great age, and when he was too old to walk his followers carried him about on a cot. His gospel, in those sunset years, was said to be very simple: Little children, love one an Into the word Love he pour ed all the riches of his faith and pi ety, his hope for the church and for the world. With what profound insight Browning has interpreted the closing hours of St. John in A Death in the Desert, as though he had been one who stood beside his couch. Pur sued by the foes of his faith, St. John takes refuge in a cave in the desert, where his mortal hour comes upon him. As the end approaches, in rapt prophetic vision he foresees, with his bright dying eyes, all the subtle at tacks on the faith of Jesus, and dis arms them. The teaching of David Strauss, at whose touch all things turned to allegory; the unctuous and persuasive doubt of Renan, in which one hears always an echo of irony; these, and the ruder forms of denial, are all predicted. Let men deny what dogma they will, let them tear the gospel record into tatters, they do not so much as touch the basis of faith as Browning states it in that poem.
