THE JAMES SPRUNT LECTURES

In 1911 Mr. James Sprunt of Wilmington, North Carolina,gave to The Trustees of Union Theological Seminary in Virginiathe sum of thirty thousand dollars, since increased by hisgenerosity to fifty thousand dollars, for the purpose of establishinga perpetual lectureship, which would enable the institutionto secure from time to time the services of distinguishedministers and authoritative scholars, outside the regularFaculty, as special lecturers on subjects connected with variousdepartments of Christian thought and Christian work. Thelecturers are chosen by the Faculty of the Seminary and a committeeof the Board of Trustees, and the lectures are publishedafter their delivery in accordance with a contract between thelecturer and these representatives of the institution. The ninthseries of lectures on this foundation is presented in this volume.
