Overview

Excerpt from Systematic Homiletics To excite emotion, explanation and proof must be suitably arranged. By this, Movement is se cured, and friction in the mind is produced, which is indispensable to excitation through the under standing. To intensify emotion, adaptation must be aimed at. You must take into account your hearers' active powers, classifying their emotions, feelings or affections; you must take into account their knowledge and character, their maxims, preju dices, etc., and also their circumstances and environ ments; you must learn how to make emotions sub servient to your purpose by exciting some feelings, allaying others, and converting one class of feelings into another. You must know how to adapt your self to your subject and to your hearers. My aim shall be to show that all the power sub servient to your purpose, that is contained in your subject, may be brought out and applied to the whole mind of your hearers, understanding, sensibilities and will; and more than this rhetoric cannot do. Principles will be stated and settled; and the need of Homiletical knowledge and skill. To the preacher will be explained and vindicated.
