Sermon Power and Policy in 19th Century Ministry
Speakers urge ministers to emphasize God's truth over mere rhetoric, favoring simple idiomatic English and earnest delivery. They discuss reading sermons occasionally, continual preparation, and avoiding overemphasis on the sermon as worship. A benefactor funds scholarships for English readers and writers. The assembly ends with thanks to Mr Binney and a Doxology.
