Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conscience Fanaticism In presenting this little volume to the public I am fully conscious of my presumption in introducing my personal views in a region where many hundreds of better qualified writers have devoted their best efforts. Since, however, no apology can justify a profitless task, if such it be, or add to its utility, if indeed it possesses any, I will not attempt to make one. If I have contributed in ever so slight a degree towards an understanding of the mental state or attitude we call fanaticism, for the purpose of guarding against the catastrophes it begets, I shall have achieved my purpose. It is unfortunately inevitable that a discussion which involves current opinions and beliefs must necessarily encounter strong prejudices and opposition, but it is less on this account that this little work is likely to fail than for the reason to which Hume attributed the failure which attended the publication of his "Treatise of Human Nature," which he described as his guilt "of a very usual indiscretion, in going to the press too early." A circumstance which prevented that "unfortunate literary attempt from reaching such distinction as even to excite a murmur among the zealots."

Download or read book Conscience and Criticism Classic Reprint written by Geoffrey Hughes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conscience and Criticism It has been the first desire of the author in writing this book to lessen the unnecessary opposition which commonly manifests itself between those radically are agreed in Christian Faith. Religion is so often attended by controversy, that men are much more aware of the points in which they differ than of those which they hold in common. Whenever, therefore, a person can adopt the attitude of sympathy with both sides, he may well wish to speak if he thinks that he can show the agreement to be far more important than the difference. The particular subject of controversy which now stirs thoughts and desires of this kind goes by the name of Higher Criticism. We have come to a time when religious people are beginning - but, in general, only beginning - to understand that such criticism is not always intentionally hostile to Christianity. They still believe, however, that in its own nature it undermines Christian security. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conscience: A Lecture Delivered Before the Society for Ethical Culture What we desire we have declared; a religion so simple that the most ordinary understanding can grasp it, so authoritative that the most obdurate heart must bow to it, and yet so high and pure that even the aristocracy of intellect - those rare souls that dwell upon the heights of humanity - shall find in it satisfaction; nay, shall confess that the scope of its demands far transcends what even they can ever hope to realize. And we have found, we have found what we desire. We are like men who have come upon a great treasure, and who do not weary to publish again and again the news of their good fortune. We are like those who have been tossed on the mad sea, and who now stand high on the rocks whence the surges can no more tear them. We are like those who have feared the loss of some dear friend, and to whom their friend is restored even from the brink of the grave. Do they ask us for our religion? The pursuit of absolute justice, absolute purity, absolute love - that is our religion. Among all the possible theories of human life, there is one that will never be acceptable to any generous heart, viz., the theory that we are mere atoms in a world of dead matter. We observe the stone when it is thrown from the hand fall back to the ground. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Conscience and Law written by Rufus W. Clark and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conscience and Law: A Discourse Preached in the North Church, Portsmouth New Hampshire, on Fast Day, April 3, 1851 He whose mission it was to calm the angry passions of men, and who has said, Blessed are the peacemakers, has also said, I came not to send peace, but a sword. These apparently conflicting principles it will be our pur pose to attempt to reconcile, and we hope to show that we may be obedient to God and true to the dictates of humanity, without infringing in the least degree upon the soundest patriot ism, and the highest reverence for human law. With the extremes of fanaticism on this question we have nothing to do. And while we would not force into the ranks of the ultra slavery supporters, that large class of respectable citizens who have felt themselves called upon to make speeches and preach discourses in favor of sustaining the Union, and rendering implicit obedience to human laws we would at the same time protest against the disposition that not a few persons have manifested, to class with disunionists and rebels those masses of our citizens who are conscientiously opposed to the fugitive slave bill. If the anathemas, which have been so freely hurled from the pulpit and the press, have been aimed against these opponents of the law as disunionists and traitors, then these writers have been fighting a man of straw. If, on the other hand, this expenditure of acute logic and fervid eloquencehas been called forth by the ultra factions to which reference has been made, then are the threats and power of these fac tions entitled to more consideration than we have been accus tomed to give them. They have suddenly reached a position of influence and power, to which we never dreamed they would attain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from For a Free Conscience Lack a mercy, it do seem a shame to see the poor things so beat. Come in here, poor soul, so ye can, cried Peggy's mother, opening the door of her little house across the street. She pulled in one Friend stunned and with blood on her beaten face. Sure the justice never meant to see ye handled so. Others followed the good woman's example, howbeit by so doing they called down heavy curses from the furious soldiery who rode at the men with a wicked violence that threatened life. A boy of ten years Old or thereabouts just then came riding down the road and seeing the turmoil reined in his pony, eying keenly one face and another Of the Friends. Mr. Pixley! Are you there P I'll go for help, and, turning sharply, sped back on his tracks, halting suddenly in front of a thick-set, tall man with a boy beside him, walking leisurely along the street. Justice Whaley, will you stop this outrage P cried the boy, excitedly. What outrage, young sir P and who may you be P asked the man addressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tongues of Conscience The arrival of darkness always meant something to the Rev. Peter Uniacke, whose cure of souls now held him far from the swarming alleys and the docks in which his early work had been done. He seldom failed to give this visitor, so strange and soft-footed, some slight greeting. Sometimes his welcome was a sigh, sometimes a prayer, some times a clenching Of the hands, a smile, a pause in his onward walk. Looking backward along his past he could see his tall figure in many different places, aware Of the first footfalls Of the night, now alone and thinking Of night's allegory of man's end, now in company, when the talk insensibly changed its character, flowing into deeper, more mysterious or confidential channels. Peter Uniacke had listened to informal confessions, too, as the night fell, confessions of sin that at first surprised him, that at last could no longer Asurprise him. And he had confessed himself, before the altar of the twilight, and had wondered why it is that some times Nature seems to have the power of absolu tion, even as God has it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature and Authority of Conscience The Swarthmore Lectureship was established by the Woodbrooke Extension Committee, at a meeting held December 9th, 1907: the minute of the Committee providing for "an annual lecture on some subject relating to the message and work of the Society of Friends." The name "Swarthmore" was chosen in memory of the home of Margaret Fox, which was always open to the earnest seeker after Truth, and from which loving words of sympathy and substantial material help were sent to fellow-workers. The Lectureship has a two-fold purpose: first, to interpret further to the members of the Society of Friends their Message and Mission; and, secondly, to bring before the public the spirit, the aims and the fundamental principles of the Friends. The Lectures have been delivered on the evening preceding the assembly of the Friends' Yearly Meeting in each year. The present Lecture was delivered on the evening preceding the Conference of all Friends in August, 1920. A complete list of previous Lectures, as published in book form, will be found at the beginning of this volume.
