To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He was a real man right or wrong. What he rebuked in others, he had felt in himself, and fought it to the death-grip, as the flash and quiver of that worn face proclaimed." You feel the same grip in the sermons of Horace Bushnell. He lays bare your soul, its hidden motives and workings. He brings to your consciousness things you hardly dreamed were there and yet such as you recognize as yours. He introduces you to yourself, your deeper self, yes and your nobler self. And he Digitized by Google ...HORACE BUSHNELL lor reveals God in Christ, and traces the working of his spiritual law as only a man can who has himself known. There is the realism of the witness. It is not the reasonings of his mind, the flow of his speech, but the gift of his life. The life has not gone out of the sermons, though bound up in books. They are charged with personality: they come tingling with life. They are full of virility, as the man himself was. One might suppose that with the constant exalting of faith over reason, the trusting of the soul's desires as pathways to God, there might be undue manifesta- tions of emotion, sentiment unrestrained by judgment, realms of mystic thought where sensible minds could not and would not follow.
