Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses From the Spirit-World Change is a necessary result of motion. Viewed in all the appear ances of human activity, life presents a vivid picture of ever-varying objects and scenes, whose beauties and deformities excite in the beholder mingling emotions of admiration and disgust. A true position, however, is essential to correct observation. The benign influence of light and freedom is necessary to designate the true character and condition of the objects that excite the attention. Comprehending, then, the whole of human realities and circumstances, as far as is possible to the contem plating mind of man, we ask a candid investigation of the following pages, which will, we trust, afford not only interest in their perusal, but light to direct the sincere inquirer into the paths of true happiness, and guide to a more familiar acquaintance with those celestial beings who, as our elder brethren, continually minister to earth's inhabitants, as a part of that common family whose origin is the earth, but whose destiny is to be increasingly glorious amid the circling spheres of the better country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses on the Christian Spirit and Life Is there a business-man, Of whatever religious repute in his sectarian or theological circle, with his name standing however high on the roll Of believ ers or saints, who yet regards his religion like his Sunday garment, as a thing to be left out Of his shop or counting-room, lest it be soiled there in the rough hands Of the world? There will be a littleness and disingenuousness in that man's secular proceedings, exposing him, if not, alas the religion he professes, to contempt. Religion is not so dainty about herself as this sub scriber of her creeds, and Observer Of her forms, is about her. She is ready to go, with the whole power and splendor Of her celestial presence, into the com monest scenes, for the adjustment Of the humblest matters. This separation Of religion and business is no fiction, or supposed case for the sake Of argument and moving I have known one in the very heat of religious enthusiasm, and with the most sacred names upon his lips, defraud a poor woman in the performance of a stipulated service, without seeming to imagine there was any inconsistency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World of Matter and the Spirit of Man: Latest Discourse of Religion These sermons indicate clearly the remarkable de gree to which Parker kept abreast of the growing knowledge and thought of his day, and even much in advance of them. He welcomed every phase of the scientific advance being made around him, and he hailed with enthusiasm the labors of Darwin, which came im perfectly to his knowledge in the last months of his life. No theist of 1858 could have anticipated more completely than he the reconstruction of theological opinions resulting from the theory of evolution. I may venture to think that nothing has yet been written which shows so complete an acceptance of man's relations to the universe, and yet so profound a piety, as some of the sermons contained in this volume.

Download or read book Discourses written by Epictetus and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2020-04-07T18:49:07Z with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raised a slave in Nero’s court, Epictetus would become one of the most influential philosophers in the Stoic tradition. While exiled in Greece by an emperor who considered philosophers a threat, Epictetus founded a school of philosophy at Nicopolis. His student Arrian of Nicomedia took careful notes of his sometimes cantankerous lectures, the surviving examples of which are now known as the Discourses of Epictetus. In these discourses, Epictetus explains how to gain peace-of-mind by only willing that which is within the domain of your will. There is no point in getting upset about things that are outside of your control; that only leads to distress. Instead, let such things be however they are, and focus your effort on the things that are in your control: your own attitudes and priorities. This way, you can never be thrown off balance, and tranquility is yours for the taking. The lessons in the Discourses of Epictetus, along with his Enchiridion, have continued to attract new adherents to Stoic philosophy down to the present day. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
Download or read book Discourse on the Witnessing of the Holy Spirit written by Robert M. Laird and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourse on the Witnessing of the Holy Spirit: In Regard to the Divine Adoption of True Believers ROMANS VIII. 16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. This passage shows, that it is the privilege of those who are truly pious to be assured of their belonging to the household of faith. They may obtain this assurance by means of a testimony, which the Holy Spirit bears, and which their own spirits or souls receive, with the consciousness of its truth, that is necessary to the production of the pleasing result. It is not to be supposed, however, that the testimony of the Spirit, in this way, is constantly enjoyed, with equal clearness and comfort. This is not the case. Sometimes, it is as explicit and convincing, as any proof that could be presented to the human mind, respecting visible or temporal things. And sometimes, it is only sufficient to sustain such a hope of immortality, as prevents distressing anxiety on the subject of acceptance with God. This hope cannot, be bright or lively. But the Spirit's witness is never so utterly withdrawn, even in the worst seasons of darkness and declension, as to induce absolute despair. Job could say, "though he slay me, yet will I trust him." The psalmist could say, under severe chastisements, "I am continually with thee; thou hast holden me by my right hand." And the apostle Paul could say, that however "cast down" and "perplexed" he occasionally felt, he was "not in despair." It may, then, be inferred, that, although real Christians may have their assurance of salvation diminished and intermitted; yet they are still favored with a measure of what may be considered the witness of the Spirit. They are never entirely "forsaken" in this respect It is also to be believed, that they This is the doctrine of our Confession of Faith. See chap. 18. Sec.4. - They are supported from utter despair." There have indeed been instances of persons seemingly pious, being in despair to all appearance. But we think it may be said of such instances, either that the individuals were not truly religious, or that they were not so really in despair as may have been supposed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Light From the Spirit World, or Revelations From the Spirits of George Washington, John Wesley, Rev. John Fox, of Boston, Joel West, of Illinois, and Others; On Various Subjects Should the reader receive instruction and pleasure in a perusal of these pages, which are now offered to the public, the reward will be great to me, though I shall Condemn no one if they do not read it; because they will suffer sufficient loss without it, for there are none that need the consolation and reform that Spirits require, more than those who refuse to be instructed by them. But there are those who will, as they have done, aim their darts at both; they-belong to a Circle that needs more pity than censure. As regards the history and death of John Fox, I know nothing, save what has been written by an invisible influence with my hand. 5 Having been connected with the same, I have been a faithful medium for two years and eight months. I was astrong skeptic at the beginning of my mediumship, and retained my same belief for twelve months. I visited the South, some three hundred miles from home, and the Spirits told Hie that some of my friends were sick, how they were taken, the day and hour, 'and names. I then wrote immediately to them, and received an answer, and found their words true. In that I was convinced of the matter.

This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse Delivered Before the Willimantic Spiritualist Society, at Willimantic, Conn., On Sunday, March 21, 1886 The fact that Spiritualism has firmly established itself in our skeptic'al and materialistic age; that it has continuously grown and developed for nearly forty years; that by mere weight Of evidence, and in Spite of the most power ful prepossessions, it has compelled recognition by an ever-increasing body (of men in all classes of society, and has gained adherents in the highest ranks of science and philosophy; and, finally, that despite abuse and misrepresentation, the folly Of enthusiasts and the knavery Of impostors, it has rarely failed to convince those who have made a thorough and pains-taking investigation, andhas never lost a convert thus made all this affords a conclusive answer to the objections so commonly urged against it. To the Christian investigator it comes with a peculiar claim to respect. The culture Of the world is very much' running to materialism - 4m the Old Sadduceeism which said there is 'no spirit; and Spiritualism comes in to antagonize this deadliest foe to Christianity. Many is the man who has been converted to a belief in immortality by it; many a man has been brought by it within the Christian fold. Lord Brougham said: Even in the most cloudless skies Of skepticism I see a rain-cloud, if it be no bigger than a man's hand. It is modern Spiritualism. Joseph Cook said, in one Of his public lectures, that he was not sure but Christianity, in its struggle with prevailing unbelief, would have to appeal to it for help. Then again, the Bible is full Of Spiritualism. The argument against Spiritual-ism is an argument against the Bible. Thus a leading scientist, in writing against Spiritualism, declares that there never has been, in all time, a manifestation that has appeared to come from the spiritual world that could not be explained upon natural princi ples. TO his clear mind there was no use in denying a part unless the whole was denied. Then again, we are told in the New Testament that there will be a great spiritual outpouring and experience - in other words, great spiritual phenomena in the last days. I refer to all these considerations in support Of'my statement that this subject has a special claim on the Christian investigator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Voices of the Spirit This book is offered to the religious public as an attempt to aid the moments of devotional life. I do not believe however that moments of devotion are moments of mental vacancy; the wings on which the spirit soars must always be wings of thought. Therefore in every one of these meditations I have tried to express a distinct idea. I have endeavoured to exhibit in their fulness and in their variety the different phases of the spiritual life and the different emotions which are awakened by them. I have not sought out these phases; I have allowed them to find me. I have come to the task with no previous system in my mind; I have just walked beside the stream and taken my impressions from its windings. The stream by which I have walked is the Bible.
