Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Commonwealth In the manifold phases of society, whether in its rudest stages and in its progress, or as it may now be seen in different parts of the world, there may be recognised, among minor variations and resemblances, five distinctive features - the Hunting State, the Pastoral, Agricultural, Commercial, and Manufacturing. When it was perceived that nations the most advanced in civilisation were not the most moral; that their vices, if less gross, were more numerous; that they had corrupted or exterminated the Aborigines of newly-discovered countries - it is not surprising that some error should have been suspected to exist in the very foundations of society, nor is it unworthy of remark, that those authors who, from time to time, have speculated upon better systems of polity, were the most distinguished in the age in which they lived, for transcendent talent and profound wisdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the American Commonwealth: Or the Influence of Christianity in Making This Nation On June 4, 1897, the Board of Trustees of Emory College, Oxford, Ga., received the following communication from Rev. W. F. Quillian: To the Board of Trustees of Emory College. Desiring to promote the cause of Christian education and to advance the theological literature of Methodism, and believing that I can most effectively do this by laying the foundation of a lectureship at the college of my Church, located at Oxford, Ga., I give to Emory College fifty shares of $10 each, of the capital stock of the "Country Bank Stock Security Company" (estimated to be worth $550, the amount I paid for same), to be held or sold and reinvested by the Board of Trustees, for the purpose of founding a lectureship on the following conditions and plan: 1. This sum, together with any other amounts which may be given by myself or others for this purpose, shall be safely invested, and the interest added to the principal until the sum of $3,000 shall have been reached. But one course of the lectures may be provided for at an earlier date by special donation, provided no part of the principal of this fund shall be thus used. 2. Thereafter the interest, together with any appropriations made to this fund from other sources, shall be used for the maintenance of a lectureship in Emory College.

This book was released on 2016-09-18 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Inner Life of the Religious Societies of the Commonwealth: Considered Principally With Reference to the Influence of Church Organization on the Spread of Christianity The stand-point from which the subject has been treated, differs essentially from that of many other writers. The reader will, however, agree, that it is desirable to contemplate the religious history of our country from all the points of view which may tend to elucidate it. Some aspects of the history of the period may have their importance, and yet have escaped the notice they deserve, while others may be obscured by the mist of a prejudice which is merely the result of imperfect information. Whatever treatment the history of the Christian Reli gion may receive from historians, and whatever may be the fate of Religious Societies, we may be sure (to use the words of one who suffered martyrdom* for his Opinions respecting the constitution of a visible Church), that the smallest portion of Divine truth is immortal; it may perhaps long be bound, scourged, crowned, cruci fied, and be laid for a season in the grave, yet the third day it shall rise again victorious, and rule and triumph for ever.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Eliot, the Puritan missionary to the New England Indians, developed this plan of political organization for the Christianized tribes that he converted. In the late 1640s, he adapted it for English use and sent a manuscript copy to England, where it appeared in print 10 years later, in 1659, following the death of Cromwell and before the accession of Charles II. Eliot's 'Preface' to the work was even more radical than the utopian theocracy described in the main body. 'Much is spoken of the rightful Heir of the Crown of England, and the unjustice of casting out the right Heir: but Christ is the only right Heir of the Crown of England, and of all other Nations also.' He proposed to the English nation, 'That you would now set the Crown of England upon the head of Christ, whose only true inheritance it is, ' and set their 'civil polity' on the model given by God to Moses in the wilderness (in Exodus 18), so that 'then shall the will of God be done on earth, as it is done in heaven.' The work throughout anticipates an imminent start of the millennium. Within three years the book had been banned, and Eliot was forced to issue a public retraction and apology. His unique and fascinating work has been called the first book of political theory written by an American and also the first book to be banned by an American government. This online edition reproduces the full text of the original, including the contemporary spellings and punctuation. A few typographic errors have been corrected and are noted. The entire work can be printed out on 33 sheets of letter-size paper"--Abstract at http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/libraryscience/19.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Christian Commonwealth The other works written by the same author are too well known to require any apology from me for bringing this, one of his latest works, under public notice. I could only wish that he had found some one more capable than myself of rendering his clear, terse, and classic style of writing. However, I hope that my language will convey with accuracy the meaning of the author. I have termed this an adaptation, for the sole reason that the greater portion of the notes with which the original is furnished have been omitted. Consisting, as they do, mainly of references to German writers, they are of more interest to German than English readers.

The object of the work is of a strictly pacificatory nature. It treats of the proper moral appreciation due to the various political and social parties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian According to Paul Ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world - Eph 2. 12. Times have changed, but have the hearts of men changed? How truly do the outstanding words and phrases of this verse, in which Paul vividly described to the Ephesians their state before they accepted Christ, picture the condition of those today who do not know Christ? What does it mean that they are apart from the company of those who live in Christ's light? What is the result of the fact that their manner of life has set them in opposition to the friends of Christ? Is it a loss that they are strangers to his ways, his thoughts, his promises? Have they hope of any real good? What is the effect of being without God? How much real satisfaction can there be in the life that does not know him? What book in the Bible has most to say about hope? Who inspires hope? How important a place does Paul give to hope? (consult a concordance.)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from College and Commonwealth: And Other Educational, Papers and Addresses Coming in this second year of world war, to a college founded largely by the efforts of a great American Secretary of War, who wrote into its original charter specific mention of military tactics as a subject of instruction; to a college whose seal bears the epaulet of a great soldier of freedom (with a somewhat contradictory legend - veritas liberabit); to a college whose name is that of a great Frenchman, beloved of Washington and remembered by the American people as General Lafayette rather than as the marquis of high lineage, as statesman or as reformer; to a college situated in this narrow valley which resounds day and night with the straining, agonizing efforts of locomotives, to set forward on their way of destruction tons of shells and projectiles, it might be expected that I should speak of education for war, or appraise the place of the college in a civilization where the steel shell seems final arbiter and the scholar's position no whit different from that of Archimedes in Syracuse twenty-two centuries ago, whose scholar's boast, "Give me where I may stand and I will move the world," was quickly brought to naught by the ignorant soldier of Marcellus.
