Book excerpt: Excerpt from He Pulpit Orators of France and Switzerland: Sketches of Their Character, and Specimens of Their Eloquence A classic finish is the rage of the times; but the grand de ficiency is vital warmth; in other words, reality, power and in spiration. The moonbeams are pretty, but they are cold and powerless. What we need is enthusiasm in the highest sense; that is, God in us, awakening in the soul higher conceptions, purer instincts, and loftier aspirations. Perhaps we need learn ing and polish; but we need godliness and fervor infinitely more. Our lips must be touched with a live coal from of the altar. We speak well only when God peaks through us. All else is tinkling brass and a sounding cymbal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
