Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vocation of the Preacher The chapters subsequent to that on Adams were found laid aside together with the earlier portions of the manuscript, and were evidently designed by him to be used in completing the volume, so that there has been no difficulty in carrying out his intention in this particular, although, possibly, his arrangement of these later papers might have been different; but surely his readers will all feel that in the beautiful closing pages of this volume its Author's sacrament of work found its fitting benediction. And so this last book goes forth upon its way, unfathered, and without the advantage of its Author's supervision or correction; but she, who thus mothers it, feels that she may claim for it the affectionate indulgence which, in spite of fault or defect, ever surrounds with a sacred and pathetic tenderness the little child who is born into this world after its father has passed away.
