Excerpt from A Discourse Gentlemen of the Board of Regents: You have appointed me to a station of dignity and responsibility. I acknowledge the trust you have reposed in me: I am sensible of the distinction you have conferred. It is the more honorable to both parties, in that, on my part, it was unsought for; and on your part, was a free and deliberate determination. We have come together to-day to recognise each other in our new relation. You have publicly sealed my appointment, and inducted me into office as the Chancellor of the University of Michigan; and I acknowledge you as that "Body Corporate" which, having "the general supervision of the University," must henceforth, while I retain this office, exercise over me, likewise, the supervision designed by the Constitution of the State. The career of the Young State of Michigan has, thus far, been remarkable and distinguished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Discourse Here, the Saviour spoke of going away, in contrast with com ing again. He must have meant by going, his personal absence and this is admitted. Did he not mean the Opposite by coming again? He has gone away to make intercession for all who come unto God by him. He is thereby preparing the way for the establishment of his kingdom on the earth. Then he will come and receive all his people to himself; bring them into his kingdom, that where he will be, there they may be also. IV. But it is believed by many, that Christ comes at death especially the death of the christian. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from An Inaugural Discourse Fellow Citizens: To-day, Pacific University commences its formal and public organization, accepts publicly and solemnly its responsibilities, and assumes a position from which there is no honorable retreat After five years of preparation, of painful and strenuous effort? this institution takes a step in advance; the idea of education has taken a higher form of development; the Academy has become the College. This occasion, and these exercises, therefore, in some sense inaugurate the Institution, and are of more importance than as concerning an individual, or an individual's usefulness. To speak, then, befittingly to the circumstances, to give utterance to the thoughts and feelings becoming the hour, one should bear all the joy for triumphs over past difficulties and for present prosperity, all the hopes and fears for the future, in his mind and upon his tongue; joys, and fears, and hopes, great in pro portion to the interests of education and learning concerned.

Excerpt from Modern Masters of Pulpit Discourse Most the criticisms in this volume were written during the lifetime of their several subjects, and then published anonymously as a series under a common title in "The Homilctic Review." It was from the first in the thought of the author to gather them eventually into a book. When the time approached for doing this, he, with a view to making the list of preachers considered inclusive enough to satisfy any just expectation which the proposal of such a volume might be conceived as awakening, felt it desirable to add a few names not embraced in the original series. The supplementary papers resulting were published independently under the name of the author. It was believed that to change the tense in which these papers were first written, and to recast their form, would be to deprive them of a certain vividness due to the contemporaneous conditions attending and alternating their production. Accordingly, though they have been carefully reconsidered and revised throughout, and retrenched slightly in some cases, and in some cases considerably enlarged, still they are substantially the same in their text and their tenor as when they originally appeared. The author, however, in the present reproduction of his criticisms, has acted somewhat as a kind of posthumous editor to himself, prefacing nearly all of them with explanations and comments which he hopes will be found pertinent and acceptable.

Excerpt from Be Thyself: A Discourse We live in a universe abounding with variety. The heavens present us with systems, suns, stars, planets, comets, meteors, and clouds. Systems differ from systems in shape, suns from suns in size. "One star differeth from another star in glory." One planet is belted, another girt with rings; comets and meteors. are as varied as their numbers. Clouds are never twice alike: pile upon pile they lie, with rosy-topped mountain-peaks; skip like silvery sheep across the blue meadow of the sky, or lie like golden islands in a silver sea. The earth is not less varied than the heavens. Here the mountains lift up their hoary heads in silent majesty, white with the snows of a thousand winters; and there lie the dusky valleys, ten thousand feet below them, where twilight holds continual holiday.

Excerpt from Maryland, Two Hundred Years Ago: A Discourse Such was the termination of that great drama, in which Charles had been a prominent actor; and in which, by his exaggerated estimate of the kingly prerogative, by his blind ness to the spread of true ideas of political and religious liberty, by his weak subterfuges and despicable insincerity, by the bigotry of his religious and the obstinacy of his politi cal advisers, he had been lcd into straits from which there was no escape; and found, in the executioner's axe, the only means of unloosing the Gordian knot of difficulty and distress, in which he beheld himself entangled.
