This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 1024 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Curiosities of Popular Customs Adam's Tomb. This is pointed out in a chamber, of the church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Mark Twain's apostrophe at the tomb is one of the most famous bits in his Innocents Abroad The tomb of Adam! How touching it was, here in a land of strangers, far away from home and friends! True, he was a blood-relation; though a distant one, still a relationl The unerring instinct of nature thrilled its recognition. The fountain of my filial affection was stirred to its profoundest depths, and I gave way to tumultuous emotion. I leaned upon a pillar and burst into tears. I deem it no shame to have wept over the grave of my poor dead relative. Let him who would sneer at my emotion close this volume; Noble old man - he did not live to see his child; and I - I - I, alas did not live to see him. Weighed down by sorrow and disappointment, he died before I was born - six th'ousand brief summers before I was born. But let us try to bear it with fortitude. Let us trust he is better off where he is. Let us take comfort in the thought that his loss 1s our eternal gain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Curiosities of Heat A few Of the spiritual-minded saw this little cloud rising, but the people in general knew nothing of it. Least of all did Mr. Hume sus peet such an undercurrent of religious interest; yet for some reason, he hardly knew what. He felt inclined to go to church. That afternoon the preacher spoke as if his soul were awed, yet lifted to heavenly heights, by the presence Of God and Christ. Reading as his text the words, Thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself (ps. 1. He showed, first, the false notions which men form of God, and then unfolded, with great power and pungency, the Scripture revelation Of the one infinite, personal, living, holy, just, and gracious Jehovah. This was the very theme which Mr. Hume wished most of all not to hear. That very name, Jehovah, Of all the names applied to God, was most disagreeable; it suggested the idea Of the living God who manifested himself in Olden time and wrought wonders before the eyes of men. But the infidel, with his active mind, could not help listening, nor could he loosen his conscience from the grasp Of the truth. Yet he could fight against it, and this he did, determined that he would not believe in such a God - a God who held him accountable, and would bring him into judgment in the last great day. In this state Of mind he dropped into Deacon Gregory's store. Deacon Gregory was accustomed to Obey Paul's injunction to Timothy: Be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. Having taken Mr. Hume's orders for groceries, he said, I was glad to see you at church yesterday, Mr. Hume. How were you interested in the sermon?

Download or read book Ritual Its Use and Misuse Considered Especially in View of the Church s Debt to the Lost World written by N. Dimock and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ritual Its Use and Misuse Considered Especially in View of the Church's Debt to the Lost World: And Three Papers on Some Curiosities of Patristic and Mediaeal Literature It will be well if recent events may lead the minds of devout Churchmen away from the question of the lawfulness or unlawfulness of certain ceremonial observances to the consideration of a much higher and wider and more important subject - a subject which has been of late years far too little regarded - I mean the subject of the Use And Misuse Of Ritual in the worship which belongs to the Christian Church. In venturing to submit some thoughts on this matter to the attention of Christians of the present day, let me say that I approach the subject not from the standpoint of Puritanism. I am aware, indeed, that appeal may be made to the writings of some of the Fathers in support of some of the Puritan positions. But I regret the hardness and severity with which Puritans obstinately (in face of lawful authority) sought to enforce their somewhat narrow and sometimes misguided persuasions, while I admire their faith fulness to the great fundamental doctrines of grace which they held in common with such Churchmen as Jewel and Hooker and Andrewes, in whose footsteps - not in the way of slavish following - I humbly desire to tread. The true use of ritual - if I may express in one word what seems to me the true view - is to assist in raising earth to heaven. The abuse, or misuse, of ritual is the giving it over to the service of a vain attempt to bring heaven to earth. The distinction needs explanation. The explanation may be brief.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ceremonies of Some Ecclesiastical Functions In Rome heretics and infidel philosophers are almost every year brought to recognise the truth of the Catholic religion, and to embrace it through the impressions made on their minds by the grandeur and majesty of some Solemn Office to which mere curiosity had led them. They came to scoff, but remained to pray, overcome by the supernatural beauty and sublimity of the worship they witnessed. Their conversion is the effect, God so directing, of the sacred ceremonies - but, of the sacred ceremonies exactly Observed in all their details, in spirit as well as in letter, not, of the sacred ceremonies neglected altogether, or observed in a careless and slovenly manner.

It exhibits, therefore, a portion of history which must be studied by all who would understand, not only what immediately follows, but also the present state of European society.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cleveland: A Tale of the Catholic Church God permit it to be so. From his earliest youth the heart of Milner had been fixed on the Ministry, as the profession in which his tastes and convictions united. Fondly attached to the faith of his fathers, he trusted that he might be enabled to lead many in their way from the wilderness to the fold of the Great Shepherd. Before leaving England, Milner had pro cured some letters of introduction to various persons abroad. One had been sent to him, through the intervention of a friend, by Rossmore. It was directed to Cleveland. The latter received it one evening while walking alone in the garden of the con vent in which he resided. He immediately entered the room where Milner was waiting his approach. Milner felt some curiosity as to this interview. He had heard many praises of the excellent Superior of Saint Etienne; and having rarely conversed with a priest of the Romish persuasion, he was glad to have an opportunity of doing so. His though ts had been occupied enough about Cleveland, to sketch an ideal picture of the man, but as generally happens, the reality dispersed at once the vague vision.

This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ecclesiastical History of M. L'abbe Fleury, From the Second Ecumenical Council to the End of the Fourth Century: Translated With Notes, and an Essay on the Miracles of the Period A fact is properly called improbable, only when it has some quality or circumstance attached to it which Operates to the disadvantage of evidence adduced in its behalf. We can scarcely avoid forming an Opinion for or against any statement which meets us; we feel well disposed towards some accounts or reports, averse from others, sometimes on no reason whatever beyond our accidental frame of mind at the moment, sometimes because the facts averred atter or thwart our wishes, coincide or interfere with the view of things familiar to us, please or startle our imagination, or on other grounds equally vague and untrustworthy. Such an ticipations about facts are as little blameable as the fancies which spontaneously rise in the mind about a person's stature and appearance before seeing him: and, like such fancies, they are dissipated at Once when the real state of the case is in any way ascertained. They are simply notional; and form no presumption in reason, for or against the facts to which they relate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ecclesiastical Records: Three Lectures An ecclesiastical scribe may be either an ecclesiastic who is a scribe or a scribe who writes documents of ecclesiastical concern or for ecclesiastical purposes; he may be either an original author or one who ministers to the originality of others; and even this does not exhaust the possible permutations and combinations. In every age, again, he will have his conventions and his idiosyncrasies; the materials with which he works may be found to shew a certain amount of variation; more important still, his writing itself will tend to reproduce certain general features of the school to which he belongs and the training that he has received, so that, arguing from Mss. of known provenance and date the palaeographer, like the art critic, will often tell you with some confidence, if with less complete assurance of infallibility, not only when, but where, a particular work was produced, whether at Canterbury, shall we say, or at St. Albans or some other great centre. And the range of the subject, as will be seen, is vast, covering many lands and many centuries, each more than sufficient for a single lecture.
