Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fragments That Remain From the Ministry of Maltbie Davenport Babcock, Pastor Brick Church, New York City, 1899-1901 During the years that have passed since Dr. Babcock closed his eyes on this earthly scene, to open them in the full glory of his Master's presence, there has been a constantly expressed regret that no record of his sermons has been preserved. The present volume is composed of notes taken - not in short hand - and written out immediately after the service by the aid of a retentive memory, for private use, and with no thought of publication. No one can be more keenly aware of their limitations than the writer. Notwithstanding the fact that many who were accustomed to sit under Dr. Babcock's ministry have assured her that as they read they seem again to hear his voice and see his form, she has hesitated to put them into permanent form, hoping that other, fuller and better manuscripts might be forthcoming. But as several years have elapsed, and no other series of his sermons seems to be in existence, and no sufficiently legible original manuscript has been discovered, she has at length consented to publish these notes. During Dr. Babcock's ministry she was not a member of the Brick Church, and cannot account for the peculiar circumstances which drew her there and constrained her to take and preserve these notes, unless it was a providential leading.
