SYNOPSIS OF CONTENTS
LECTURE I.
The Apostles' Call 1
Introduction.
I. Vocation.
A question which lies at the root of all professional life, even of life itself, and although pre-eminently a question connected with Holy Orders, not to be confined to it
The true question before us is, "In what direction can I best serve God?"
Indications by which Vocation to the Priesthood can be discerned.
A life-long desire.
A sudden call, appealing to the heart.
The encouraging verdict of friends.
The gradual shaping of circumstances.
These calls need testing. The special value of a Theological College for this purpose.
II. The choice really rests with God. We do not choose, we respond. "Whom He would. "
In the case of the Apostles our Lord's choice was deliberate, not forced; not the acceptance of a generous and unthinking devotion.
His choice of all His workmen is always deliberate.
Illustration from the fallow field.
From the many and varied workmen employed in a great design.
Elijah and Elisha.
III. Hindrances to the response to vocation in the region of Holy Orders. Working principle.
