Daniel Baker: The Heart of a Preacher
R. Andrew Myers
⬩
“O may I never become a cold, lifeless, sentimental preacher, but may I imitate the zeal of a Whitefield, the tenderness of a Hervey, the affection of a Baxter, and blend all with the pure, sound, evangelical principles of a Doddridge.” — Daniel Baker (July 31, 1813 journal entry) in William M. Baker, The Life and Labours of Daniel Baker, D.D. (1858), pp. 66-67
