Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Greatness in Men There is no other writer who charms and irritates, stimulates and disappoints me so often and so equally as Carlyle, in what he has written personally of men. Nobody has ever glorified the human spirit by loftier conceptions of God-likeness in it than his. He held with Saint Chrysostom, that "the true Shekinah, or visible revelation of God, is Man." He felt, as Novalis expressed his feeling, that "there is but one Temple in the Universe, and that is the body of man." "We," he exclaimed, "are the miracle of miracles - the great inscrutable mystery of God." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Varieties of Human Greatness Classic Reprint written by Alexander Young and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Varieties of Human Greatness We have no need of you. For man is not one power or faculty, but many. It behooves every one, then, to stir up and cultivate the peculiar gift of God which is in him, and thereby cause a various tribute. Of glory to ascend from earth to heaven. For God is truly glori hed by the full developement and right exercise of our several faculties, and by their consecration to the increase and diffusion of knowledge, virtue and happiness on the earth. Not in vain is this prodigal variety of human gifts, if God be honored and man blessed by it. Let us, my hearers, take. A survey of some of the prominent varieties of human greatness. Let us see how they have been viewed and estimated. Let us look at them as so many manifestations of divine energy in man. In the first place, and at the lowest point of the scale, stands physical greatness, strength of body, power of limb, capacity of labor and endurance, material energy and force. At some periods in the world's history, and at certain stages of man's growth, before the mental and moral faculties are unfolded, and the higher principles of our nature have gained the ascendency, and civiliza tion spread her restraining and refining influences, this species of greatness has been the most in honor and demand. When the earth was one vast forest, and the wild beast prowled on the frontiers of the infant settle ments, and waged a desperate and hardly unequal war fare with man, then physical strength was, of course, alone cultivated and prized. The great ones of that period were the men of giant frames, and tough muscles, and arms of iron - the Samson and the Hercules of their tribe. The primitive, or as we choose to call it, the fabulous history of our race, is full of the marvellous exploits of these renowned heroes, who protected the rising hamlets, with their flocks and herds, from the de predations of the wild boar and the wolf. In the early annals of almost every nation, ancient and modern, we meet witha great man of this sort, who, by mere phy sical strength, cleared the land of some ferocious animal.

Download or read book The Lord of All Good Life written by Donald Hankey and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lord of All Good Life: A Study of the Greatness of Jesus and the Weakness of His Church This is the book of a nobody - of the obscurest of mere laymen. It has no weight of scholastic or ecclesiastical fame behind it. Yet such as it is, it is honest. It is the attempt of a layman - perhaps of a heretic - to think clearly. He is not concerned to "temper the wind (of criticism) to the shorn lamb," nor anxious to "reassure" anyone. He is not a Superior Person, and does not itch to "enlighten" the old-fashioned with "the new knowledge." This book claims neither to be "a contribution to scholarship," nor "apologetic." The writer has tried to set down what he believes a great many people think - people who are not very much enamoured of ecclesiastical controversy, or of patristic theology, or of sung matins at eleven, nor yet, perhaps, of high mass at twelve, who put but little confidence in bishops or university professors, and have little respect for dogmas which seem to be at variance with facts as far as they know them; and yet feel that in Jesus Christ and in His Church, and at the quiet service on a Sunday morning early, there is power and love and life of which they are in sore need.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men of Might: Studies of Great Characters These biographies were compiled to read to small sets of boys, varying in age from fifteen to eighteen: it was found that many boys appreciated a certain literary precision, which could hardly be attained in discourses delivered extempore from notes; and the time at our disposal being necessarily somewhat short, it was found difiicult to secure harmony and preportion in bio graphical lectures, unless the limits were carefully laid down beforehand. But it is intended that the lectures should be assisted by oral explanation and questions from time to time and if a teacher were to see that any set of boys found interest in a particular biography, the sources from which it can be illustrated and supplemented are easily available.
