The purpose has been to make them clear, direct and adapted to the needs of the average man. It is humbly hoped that, however they may fall short of acceptance in other quarters, they may be found helpful to such as are seeking truth for com mon uses. The supreme end of preaching is to answer two questions which throb in the universal heart, to wit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Heritage of the Spirit: And Other Sermons Wilt thou that we call down fire from heaven and consume them, as Elijah didp Note, too, the rebuke of Jesus, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. And even in his own day Elijah seems to have inspired awe and wonder rather than affection. He was a stern, reserved man, who scarcely seemed to feel as other men felt. Not only have we Ahab's startled cry, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? But even the widow of Zarephath, who had watched for months with wondering eye the prophet's sombre face, exclaimed as she clutched the corpse of her boy, Hast thou come to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son? So, too, Obadiah, though supported by a good conscience, still doubted this incomprehensible man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Spirit of the Age, Vol. 1 The thridon between the intuitional and logical faculties is perfectly true, and every-body apprehends it. We see things by sight and in sight; we reason about their properties and te lations. But to eastthe ratiocinative processes generallyinto the term logic, is cramping a large subject. Every truth gained is not only a principle but a method for acquiring new truths. For instance, as soon as we know that every existence was through all spheres; in other words that each thing has its fa miliar correspondence in all the regions of creation; that eve ry mineral has its own ground floor of vegetable, and its own drawing-room of animal, and this of human, and this of social, and this of spiritual life built upon it; then this truth becomes a rule for our looks; we put our eye up to it, and see along it, everywhere and a hieroglyphical consciousness far more impor tant than logic, comes at once into being. The only problem then is, to track any given thing that is under investigation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Spirit of the Age: Or Faith and Infidelity About eighteen months ago, I found it necessary, in order to preserve or rather re-establish my health, to abandon for a time the cares, labors and monotony of a law office and seek elsewhere that mental quiet and physical exercise, which study and sedentary work rendered imperative.

Excerpt from The Spirit in Man: Sermons and Selections Horace bushnell was born in 1802 and died in 1876. It is, therefore, now one hundred years since his birth, and twenty-six years since he left this world. It is, perhaps, not more remarkable that a personal influence which had its root in an other century should be still growing and spread ing, than that material of thought produced from thirty to sixty years ago should still have fitness to the thought of to-day, and show equal freshness and vitality. The papers offered in this collection are selected from those left in the care of his wife, and which have lain inert for more than thirty years, with the single exception as to time of that on Inspiration, begun just a year before his death under conditions of feebleness best described by himself in his introduction to it. The title of the book is appropriated from one of his sermons in the volume of Sermons for the New Life (page chosen because he once chose it, and be cause it covers the whole scope of the subjects ih cluded as well as any one title could do.

Excerpt from Ways of the Spirit, and Other Essays In one remarkable instance, however, the idea of such a history, and with it, of a human family, is distinctly recognized. In the Biblical Book of Genesis we have the beginning of a' history of man, but one which stops short with the mythic age of the world. Biblical history brings man to the building of Babel, or the period of greatest con centration, succeeded by disruption and dispersion and then, dismissing the theme, confines itself to the Single Hebrew line. Brief and fragmentary as the narrative is, these first chapters of the Bible contain more important contributions to the sci ence of history than all the classics. Christianity, by intoning the brotherhood of man, awakened a new interest In human destiny. The Christian Fathers manifest a truer appreciation of the unity of the race. Bunsen calls Clement of Alexandria the first Christian philosopher of the history of mankind. St. Augustine's City Of God embraces in its scope the whole human race as the subject of divine education, and distributes the ages of man in six days of a thousand years each, to end with the millennium.
