Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Southern Methodist Pulpit, 1852, Vol. 5 Here, as already intimated, we have the first record - 445 years before Christ - of the establishment of the Pulpit as a means of religious instruction. From that time, down to the present, it has been a prominent instrumentality in the church, of God first in the synagogue of the Jews, to expound and enforce the Mosaic law; and secondly, under the Christian dispensation, to proclaim the brighter glories of the Gospel. As a great and effectual moral agency, it stands without a rival. The religious Press, by the extent and permanency of its influence, alone invites a comparison. But this is modern in its origin, and though great andindispensable in the service which it renders to the cause of God, it is less forceful and im pressive in its addresses to the understanding and conscience, and chiefly valuable as an auxflz'ary to the more direct and stirring appeals of the Pulpit.
