    r CHAPTER 4 THE 18TH-CENTURY SCOTTISH SERMON: bk)DES OF RHETORIC B ýý 18f G Z c9. ;CJ . 'f 259. TILE 18TH-CENTURY SCOTT ISi1 SERMON: )JODES OF RHETORIC Now-a-days, a play, a real or fictitious history, or a romance, however incredible and however un- important the subject may be with regard to the beat interests of men, and though only calculated to tickle a volatile fancy, arcImore valued than the best religious treatise .... This statement in the preface to a Scottish Evangelical tract of the 1770s assembles very clearly the reaction in Evangelical circles to contemporary trends in 18th-century Scottish letters, The movement in favour of a less concen- trated form of religion and the attractions of the new vogue for elegant and melodic sermons were regarded by the majority of Evangelicals as perilous innovations. From the 1750s onwards, the most important task facing Moderate sermon- writers was how to blend the newly-admired concepts of fine feeling and aesthetic taste with a modicum of religious teaching. The writers of Evangelical sermons, on the other hand, remained faithful to the need to restate the familiar tenets of doctrinal faith, often to the exclusion of all else. The Evangelicals regarded the way in which Moderate divines courted fine feeling in their pulpits as both regrettable and ominous. In some quarters, it even assumed the character of a possible harbinger of doom for Scottish prosperity. This reaction on the part of the Evangelicals accounts for the frequent 'alarms' published in connexion with religious topics in 18th-century Scotland.
