Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE.IT is with sincere Pleasure that I offer this new Edition of the following excellent little Treatise to the Notice of the Public. The Importance of the Subject must be obvious to all. The Duty of " bringing into Captivity every Thought to the Obedience of Christ," (2 Cor. ix. 5) is so necessary for the Attainment of that Holiness "without which no Man shall see the Lord," (Heb. xii. i4); of that internal Purity of Heart, to which alone is annexed the Promise of the Blessed Vision of God, (Matt. v. 8); that any Rules for our Guidance in performing it must be hailed with Joy by those who are earnestly striving to walk in the strait Path which leadeth to Everlasting Life. But while the Government of the Thoughts in general is a Subject in which we are all deeply interested, there are some special Kinds of Evil Thoughts which require a more particular Notice, and which are apt to cause much Anxiety and Trouble to those who are labouring under them. These have been treated by the Author in distinct Chapters, and form the chief Design of this little Book. Persons afflicted in this way, as even the best of us are liable to be, are frequently met with in the Ministrations of the Parochial Clergy; and it has often been a Matter of Regret to me that I have not been able to place in the Hands of those who have come under my own immediate Observation some such Work as the present. It was therefore with no slight Pleasure that I first met with it. Thinking that many of my Reverend Brethren may have felt a similar Want, I have been induced to republish it.It would be well to remind the Afflicted Persons that the Sinfulness of Evil Thoughts consists only so far as we indulge them. It is almost impossible to entirely prevent them from arising in our Minds; they will come; but we may choose whether we will entertain them or not. It is in our Power to do much towards hindering their Growth, and rejecting them when they present themselves to us. It has been prettily observed, "In the little Garden of the Mind, ill Thoughts, like Weeds, will spring up; they are the native Produce of the Soil. But if we take Care to root them up as fast as possible, as well as to cultivate and cherish each generous and beautiful Plant, this is all that God requires of us." If then we steadily strive to conquer our Evil Thoughts, and, under the Gracious Influences of the Holy Spirit, to replace them with Good and Holy Ones, if we till the Soil of our Hearts, we shall find that God will vouchsafe a Blessing upon our Endeavours, and give unto us that Peace, that inward Tranquility and Heavenly-mindedness which the World cannot give. But we must work. "Good Thoughts will not court our Acquaintance, and make the first Advances to us; but if we often read and meditate on religious Subjects, if we at stated Hours invite them to come and make their Abode with us, they will at last come without waiting for the Formality of a set Invitation."* And I think the Rules in this little Volume will contribute much to our Progress in this Work, viz: the Control of our Evil, and Cultivation of Good, Thoughts. But of this I must leave the Reader to judge....

Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
