Excerpt from A Voice From the Crowd The Records of the Corporation of Yale College indicate that the following action was taken on April 12, 1871: Voted, To accept the offer of Mr. Henry N. Sage, of Brooklyn, of the sum of ten thousand dollars, for the founding of a lectureship in the Theological Department, in a branch of Pastoral Theology, to be designated "The Lyman Beecher Lectureship on Preaching, " to be filled from time to time, upon the appointment of the Corporation, by a minister of the Gospel, of any evangelical denomination, who has been markedly successful in the special work of the Christian ministry. There is, of course, ample Scriptural authority for describing a layman as a minister. It is somewhat more doubtful whether it can properly be affirmed that any layman has been engaged in "the special work of the Christian ministry." I have had no disposition, however, to question the exegesis of the Yale Corporation. I received the invitation with a sense of gratification. I accepted it with a determination to do my best. The work of preparation has proved to be a profitable task. The delivery of the lectures was an interesting experience. Whether this volume contains anything which others may find either profitable or interesting is a matter about which I shall not allow myself even to speculate.
