Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and the People's Play This book is written for the purpose of showing the importance of play in the life of individuals and the community and the relation of the church to the question, especially in its democratic aspects. I feel that much of what I have said is familiar to those interested in the play and recreation movements. My interest in the philosophy of play and the various theories advanced is incidental to my main purpose. It has not been my intention to break new ground so much as to bring facts to the attention of the churches and church people and point out tendencies that are well known; and by presenting a constructive program, if possible, help the churches to meet the new and pressing problems. I have used quotations freely and have tried to give credit to writers and investigators. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and the People The following Lectures, which form the Sixth Series of the St Giles' Lectures, were delivered in St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh, in 1885 - 86. In consequence of illness, the lecturer who had agreed to deliver the sixth Lecture was compelled to abandon his intention, but the Rev. Andrew Gray of Dalkeith, kindly consented, at short notice, to undertake the duty. The Lectures are published in the hope that they may prove useful both to those who heard and to those who did not hear them. In dealing with subjects to some extent necessarily of a controversial nature, it is right to say that each lecturer is only responsible for the opinions expressed in his own Lecture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concerning the Church: Course of Sermons I am induced to publish these Sermons in the hope that some of my brother clergy may think them not unsuited for reading in their Churches or for lending or recommending to their parishioners. To one who believes, as I do most firmly, that the Church is God's own society, His chosen instrument and organization for the regeneration of mankind through Christ, and the ordinary channel of His gifts of grace, few things are more distressing than the ignorance, and, I may add, indifference of so many Churchmen as to what this same Church, of which they are members, is; as to its raison d'etre, its principles and constitution and claims on their allegiance. As far as my experience extends, not one Churchman in a thousand can give a valid reason, as distinguished from mere preferences, for his Churchmanship, or even say, often as he professes his faith in it, what he "believes" about "the Holy Catholic Church."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church, the People, and the Age: Analysis and Summary Those who are endeavoring to serve their day and generation will not Shut their eyes to facts. TO do so is moral suicide. Acquaintance with facts and condi tions is essential to the proper consideration of ques tions affecting the life of the individual and of society. There were two facts uppermost in the minds of the editors when the question before us was first mooted. (1) There appeared to be a widespread indifference to the claims of the Church. (2) There were many who might easily be numbered as having the interests of the kingdom of God at heart yet were not enrolled members of the organized church. Concerning the first statement it has been amply confirmed by the opinions expressed in the following pages. As to the second statement there can be little doubt that there are many who, like Mr. Lincoln (see next page), are deterred from joining certain churches because Of the peculiar and complicated tenets professed.

Download or read book Recreation and the Church Classic Reprint written by Herbert Wright Gates and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-26 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recreation and the Church There is no more potent influence or favorable approach to the inner life of childhood and youth than is found in recreational interests and activities. Play, games, athletic sports, are not merely ad junots to a religious educational program, baits to interest, or preventives of less desirable occupations. They are the open door to the real boy, the real girl, and they furnish the best of opportunities for direct as well as indirect moral and religious training. The church that fails to take account of, and to use to the best advantage, these means of reaching the children and youth misses an important part Of its opportunity. It is with the hope of aiding those who desire to increase their effectiveness in this field that this book has been written. The attempt has been made to present only such principles as have stood the test of experience and ideals that have been more or less fully realized in practical work. The author wishes to acknowledge his indebted ness to the many who have aided him with informa tion and suggestions. The chapter on Some Typical Church Programs would have been im possible without the letters from those mentioned therein, giving the results of their own experience. Special acknowledgment is due to Rev. J. W. F. Davies, of Community House, Winnetka, Illinois. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel of the Church: A Charge to the 129th Annual Convention of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, May 6, 1913 Church. What is elsewhere either implied, on the one hand, or explicitly stated, on the other, now by S. John now by S. Peter, now by S. Luke, now by S. Paul himself, In regard to the Society or Fellowship of believers, is here fitted together and gathered up with extraordinary unity and fullness. If we are looking for the essence or substance of Apostolic teach ing on this subject, we shall find it here. Mark you, I am now seeking simply for the meaning of this teaching. I am not asking whether it is true or false; whether, that is, it does, or does not, rightly interpret and express the mind of Christ. That, of course, is the great and pressing question, - perhaps the greatest and most pressing of all the religious questions of the day. But questions of truth must follow, not precede, questions of meaning. No man can either prove or disprove what he does not understand. This is a quite simple principle, and it applies everywhere. N 0 one can play a game unless he knows the rules. No one can test the accuracy of the simplest chemical analysis unless he has first learned to read its symbols. The question of the truth, or the falsehood, of the Apostolic doctrine, or of any other doctrine, of the Church, waits upon the preliminary question of its meaning. We cannot debate it until we have discovered it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The People s Book of Worship written by John Wallace Suter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-22 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People's Book of Worship: A Study of the Book of Common Prayer This is all true. But in studying the Prayer Book, we are justified in confining ourselves to this particular aspect Of the religious life, which has come to be commonly known as Worship - what we do when we are definitely conscious of God's presence and worth and have, or ought to have, nothing else to do. We are also justified in still further narrowing the scope of our study by eliminating the worship of the individual. It is possible and very general and very valuable to worship God, in private. But the Prayer Book we are to study is the Book of Common Prayer, and implies the corporate char acter Of its worship. Religion not only takes in the whole Of each man's life, but is distinctly social and is only true religion when it feels its brother hood as one family of God. Because God is the Father of a family, he is never truly known except as a Father. SO Christ taught. And no father can be known except in relation to his family, in his home and around his family board. We may use no selfish, personal pronouns in addressing him. We must say Our Father, remembering his other children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church Music Question Yet, though we may smile at the heat and exaggeration which this controversy excites, there can be no doubt that the change from unaccompanied to accompanied singing is a serious and considerable one, involving great possibilities of harm to what we all so earnestly desire - congregational singing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Music in the Church This free, though very expressive, school of singing came to an end with the establishment of a Liturgy; it is very probable, however, that some of the best effusions of the Agapae were pre served, and even admitted into the regular service of later times. These fervid songs of earliest Christianity were unaccompanied, for it would have been very difficult for any one to follow the singer in his untrammelled chant. Many of the early Christians (chiefly of the humbler walks of life) were unable to play the instruments, and these also had been too freely used in theatre and pagan service to make them welcome at any Christian cere mony. They convene at stated hours, before sunrise, and sing, each in turn, praise of Christ as of a god, says Pliny the Younger in describing the musical service of the Christians of his time.

This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular History of the Catholic Church in the United States IT is Seldom, indeed, that the American Catholic author Of a strictly Catholic book, has the gratification Of adding a few words to the fourth edition of his fist book within a few months after its first issue. Yet, scarcely six months have passed since the first copy Of the present volume was given to the public. The earliest edition was so quickly disposed of, that I had but little time to make a hasty re vision, when another was called for. Soon a third edition was demanded, and, now, a fourth. I feel that I am deeply indebted to the kindness and generous appreciation Of our Catholic public. TO express fully my warm gratitude, I am at a loss for fitting terms. Were my volume a novel, or a romance, I would not be so astonished at its success; but it is a book Of dates, facts, and figures, a book in which imagination had little room for play, a book, in fine, standing on the solid ground Of truth. But, after all, perhaps, truth is stranger than fiction. Nor are my thanks less due to the American, Canadian, and British press, for the friendly expressions Of welcome, the manly, courteous reception accorded to my first literary venture in the book-world. But I thank, above all, those learned and venerable Rulers of the Church whose valued, weighty, and beauti ful words Of encouragement, I can never forget.
