The Greatest Thing In the World and Other Addresses
Henry Drummond, a Scottish evangelist and lecturer in natural science, gave his address on the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians to a group of friends in an English country house, and the American evangelist Dwight L. Moody, who heard it there, describes in his introduction how he brought Drummond to Northfield to repeat it. The Greatest Thing in the World contrasts love with eloquence, prophecy and faith, analyzes it into patience, kindness, generosity, humility and other qualities, and defends it as the supreme gift. The other addresses collected here are Lessons from the Angelus, Pax Vobiscum, First! An Address to Boys, The Changed Life and Dealing with Doubt, all marked by Drummond's practical, warm style. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first essay is free.
