Excerpt from The Enterprise of Life: Being Addresses Delivered From an Edinburgh Pulpit to Audiences Composed, for the Most Part, of Those Who Stand at the Beginning of the Enterprise This book consists of addresses, or portions of addresses, delivered in the New North Church, Edinburgh, and, almost without exception, at the evening service. They were written to be spoken, and, as nearly as possible, they are printed in the shape in which they were originally given. Since no attempt has been made to alter their form from that of addresses pure and simple to one of greater elaboration, some local references re main untouched, especially in those chapters which are composed of sermons preached at services primarily intended for students of the University of Edinburgh.
