Description
In the Preface, Smith notes that he chose not to “follow the line of reminiscence” that often characterizes anniversary sermons. Instead, he hoped to “direct the minds of the young men of the [Holston] Conference to such lines of thought and study as might…furnish them with a great fund of varied and useful information and at the same time improve and cultivate their style and readiness in the pulpit.” By so doing, he “would, perhaps, achieve the most valuable work of [his] fifty-one years in the Conference.”
