About this book
Addresses by the Right Reverend Phillips Brooks is a book by Phillips Brooks, who is named "BISHOP OF MASSACHUSETTS" in the front matter. The contents list, among others, "THE BEAUTY OF A LIFE OF SERVICE", "THE DUTY OF THE CHRISTIAN BUSINESS MAN" and "ABRAHAM LINCOLN". The speaker of one address says that on looking at the life of Jesus, "the purpose of consecration, of emancipation, is service of His fellow-men."
The speaker asks what symbol Christ has left and answers, "No, not the throne and not the mountain top. It is the cross." Another passage says, "Oh, my friends, oh, my fellow-men, it is not very long that we shall be here." One passage imagines Abraham Lincoln bending over the page where the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 was growing into shape.
