Excerpt from The New Truth and the Old Faith Ever since man Opened his wondering eyes upon the beauty of the earth, he has been searching into the causes of the things around him, and seeking an answer to the great problems concerning his origin, dwelling-place, and destiny. His earliest facts were Observed appearances, and his earliest theories were the fictions of his imagination' but as civilization grew, he learned that appearances were deceitful, and that ideal interpretations, like those of the Greek and other ancient sages, were erroneous. The inductive method of Aristotle, revived by Bacon, finally gave the rule Of scientific progress, and since Bacon's time the advance of positive science has been more and more rapid and sure. The lesson of Bacon is, that a knowledge of the true nature of things cannot be found out by thinking alone; but has to be discovered by reasoning upon the results Of Observation and experiment.

Excerpt from Old and New Theology It has now become a practical one. A de cision is now being made whether we will continue with the church of our former choice, or unite with those who, without changing their name, have organized a new body. With a view of giving information to such as desire to ascertain on which side the truth lies, we shall present, in as concise a manner as the case will admit, the distinguishing fea tures of the New Theology - comparing them, as we proceed, with those doctrines which have, by way of contrast, been denominated old. For the sentiments of the Old School we shall refer to the Confession of Faith of the Presbyterian church and to standard Calvin istic writers. We think this cannot be rea sonably objected to, even by our New School brethren; since they have never charged the former with departing from the Confession of Faith. For the New School doctrines, we shall make quotations from the professors at New Haven, Mr. F ihney, and various minis ters in the Presbyterian church. We quote from those first named, because Dr. Taylor and his associates, though belonging to ah other denomination, are regarded as the mo dern authors of these speculations; and Mr. Finney, until within a few years past, belong ed to our body, and preached and published most of his sentiments on these subjects be fore he left the church.

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer. Was the light infallible? Was the claim to it an assumption of spiritual exaltation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Faith of the New Testament A few weeks ago I listened in a College Chapel to this modern hope, this call to hope to-day though many an earlier hope had been disappointed. To - day, the preacher said, we are learning new reverence, reverence towards God and towards men: And rever ence for creeds we do not share. We shall slight no man for his nonconformity. We are passing beyond form and dogma. We look back - back beyond reformation, beyond councils of the church, beyond the doctors, beyond the great figure of Paul himself, and in the simple Gospel that was preached and under stood in Galilee we shall find a peace where all our warring sects may rest. And surely that might very rightly be. To believe what Jesus Christ taught and to be like him, that is the narrow and blessed way of the Gospel. Who dare add lesser tests to that supreme one?
