Excerpt from Harp of Life: Its Harmonies and Discords
Harp of Life: Its Harmonies and Discords, like Character Sketches, its predecessor, is the result of odd moments and off hand efforts in the thought and work of pastoral life. After the manner of Character Sketches this volume follows, not as a sequel, but as the continued development of Sunday afternoon lectures with chalk and charcoal illustrations during the years of the author' s pastorate in the City of Nashville. Thousands came to hear these lectures; and after thousands had read the first volume published in Character Sketches, there was a repeated demand for the publication of another volume along the same line of thought and caricature. The present volume is published in answer to this demand; and although it has sometimes proven dangerous to write a second book upon the same line it is hoped that this volume afiords something new and fresh in the presen tation of subjects which, though familiar to all, are dressed up in a new garb which may attract the attention and catch the in terest of the reader, young and old, learned and unlearned, white and black and of every condition.
