He did not deliver essays in literary |
criticisms about the religious import
,, of Browning's theology, or the evil
dcnccs of divine immanence in
Tennyson's poems; he did not lay
down rules and prescribe panaceas for
social and political wrongs and
! disorders, nor was he busy with
muck rake bringing to light official
graft and corruption; he was no re-
former of this sort. His special field
was the human heart and the ever
! present spirit of God. He knew both.
His sermons revealed the pSychoioSy
| of sin and the processes of the soul in
| its efforts towards recovery. 1 Ven
ture to say that every nearer felt, as
! have felt, that Dr. Penney knew his
own heart and his own experiences
| better than he himself knew them.
| He seemed to have touched the whole
gImut of human experience. His soul,
too had a vital fellowship with God.
He seemed, as one Of the old School
men has expressed it, to practice the
| presence of God" There was no
ambiguity respecting his representa-
tive character. His mission was not
ohscured by himself He preached
Christ and he brought Christ to view,
| for his whole life had become radiant
with the Christ spirit.
1t is rare man whom we COM
