Summary
This is from a collection of manuscripts—mostly class papers— written while Davis was a student at Harvard Divinity School, 1902-1904. This manuscript is clearly for the Homiletics II class he took during the 1903-04 academic year.
A sermon, "The Conquest of Unconscious Sin," that served as Davis's class paper for Homiletics II. It starts with a story from Quebec, "Le Chien d'Or" or "The Golden Dog." The story is a kind of "what goes around comes around" story about the silent triumph of a wronged person, Philibert, over his tormentors. The point of the sermon is that we must make an effort to have a clean heart and a right spirit, otherwise we will succumb to unconscious sin.
