Excerpt from Windows for Sermons: A Study of the Art of Sermonic Illustration, Together With Four Hundred Fresh Illustrations Suited for Sermons and Reform Addresses For years I have been receiving letters from all over the country, asking how and where I get my illustrations for my sermons. It is in response to this wide interest, evidenced by so many letters, that these chapters have been prepared. I have tried therein to answer the many questions that have been put to me concerning the sources of illus trations and the art of using them. I have also added several hundred fresh illustrations, gathered from, everywhere, but especially from the current life and discussion of the world. It is the hope of the author to be useful to his brethren, not only in furnishing helpful and suggestive illustrative mate rial, but also in the greater work of stimulating his readers to original search for such material in the ever-new volume of experience and observation which comes to them with each recurring day.
