Book Description

Excerpt from An Address, Delivered in Boston, May 26, 1852: Before the Society for the Promotion of Collegiate and Theological Education at the West If ministers are to make the people in the highest sense men, they must themselves be such men; and the education best fitted to make a minister, will be that which is best fitted to make such a man it will be that which will bring him most fully into sympathy with God, as revealed not only in his word, but in all his works, and also with a true humanity. 'he will need no culture which will separate him, by refinement and fastidiousness, from the humblest and most ignorant; he will need one which will put him in sympathy with the most refined and intelligent. He will, in short, need, not so much an education that is technical and professional, as one that is broad and liberal, an education for man, as man.
