Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Evangelism: A Discourse, Delivered at the Seventh Anniversary of the Society for the Promotion of Collegiate and Theological Education at the West, in the First Congregational Church of Norwalk, Conn., October 30th, 1850The apostle had spoken of the character of his ministry in Corinth. As to its theme, it could not have been better; for he had known nothing in his preaching to the Corinthians but Christ and him crucified: but the tenor and style of his discourses to them had been comparatively inferior. The dif ference was to be ascribed in part to a defect of capacity in the Corinthians themselves. I could not, he says to them, speak to you as unto Spir itua], but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat, for ye were not able to bear it. He inti mates in the text, that his ministry would have been of higher excellence if the capability of the people had not been so imperfect. He did not speak to all in the same elementary strain which he had used in discoursing to the Corinthians. He sometimes had hearers who could profit by a more elevated mode of instruction, and then his manner rose in accommodation to their superior abilities.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
