Excerpt from The War and Preaching Yet I do not think that a preacher's diary can be all that is expected in such lectures as these. A mere record of his own experiences, annotated with counsels as to the execution of sermon-work and other parts of the minis ter's duties, is not enough. From the manifold detail of past experience, certain' leading principles ought to be evolved, and these must result in something in the nature of a theory of preaching, of which the course of lectures will be the exposition.
