Excerpt from The Front Line of the Sunday School Movement: The Line of the Vanguard of Sunday School Progress, With a Glimpse of Ideals Beyond When my long-time friend the president of Bangor Theological Seminary requested me to give a course of Lectures on the Sunday School to the students, two reasons were especially influential in deciding me to accept his invitation. The first was a desire to express in some degree the gratitude I owe to this Seminary for the training I received at its hands. Not the least of the providential blessings which have come unexpectedly into my life was the loving guidance which brought me to Bangor and its Theological Seminary: I congratulate the Seminary for its high ideals, for setting them before the students and saying: "There is the portrait of the minister whom the churches need, and whom they want. He stands continually before you - study him; set your faces in that direction; the whole training of the seminary course is to help you to become that man." I congratulate the students on their privilege of entering the ministry. The greatest joy a life-work can bring belongs to the Preacher who preaches the Gospel because he loves the Gospel, loves its Giver, and loves his fellow-men. The greatest joy of the Preacher is that, like his Master, he can also be a Teacher. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
