Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church After the War It was that distinguished Englishman Lord Brougham who said, "A great mind on a great occasion engaged in the discussion of a great theme is the most impressive and majestic spectacle in human life." Those who were fortunate to be present at the opening session of the Ohio Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Wednesday morning, September 26, 1917, felt the force of this statement. All these three conditions met in a remarkable degree. It was a great occasion. The old Ohio is the oldest of the Annual Conferences in the State, this being the 106th session. The announcement of the program attracted many people, so that the audience was quite representative of the leading men of Ohio's capital city. It was such an audience as would be a challenge to any public speaker. The subject which had been chosen was one of vital interest - "The Church After the War."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and World Peace The world war is over. The legacy of war remains. The whirlwind Of death which left nothing it could destroy is passed, but ex hansted nations look with horror on the destruction wrought and turn with nerveless hands to the work of restoration. Has the war paid? That depends. If the transform ing ideals which inspired the will to conquer shall fade away, if the determination to rid the world of evil heritages and to give it a new start in freedom Shall be swallowed up in the maws of selfish interests; if, after all that has been done, nothing is left, after a while, but the same old world of international strife, a world of stark-naked materialism in which ancient wrongs, forgetfulness of God, and deification of the Strong, Shall again blur justice and the sense of human brotherhood, then the war has not paid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and the Churches A dozen such questions will press for an answer, but it will be granted that one of the most urgent and most interesting of the many grave considerations which the war suggests is its relation to the prevailing creeds and standards of conduct. The war coincides with an advanced stage of what is called the spread of unbelief. In each of the nations of Europe which are engaged in this awful struggle complaints have been made every year for the last two or three generations that Christianity is losing its moral control of the white race. In the cities, especiallv in the capitals. Of Europe there has been 3 proved and acknowledged decay of church-going; and, however much we mav be disposed to think that these millions who no longer attend church retain in their minds the beliefs of their fathers, the slender circulation of religious literature makes it plain that the vast majority of them do not, in point of fact, receive either the spoken or written message of the Christian Church. In the great cities - and it is undoubted that the hf; of a nation is mainly controlled by its cities - there has been an increasing reluctance to listen to the authoritative exponents of the Christian gospel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and the Bible In every country the Great War has created not merely military and economic problems, but also spiritual problems of many aspects. M. Henri Bergson has remarked that upon the outbreak of the war, France at once changed spiritually - she became like a cathedral, solemn and grave. No one who was in France in those fateful days of August, 1914, could escape that transformation. The air was charged with spiritual awe. A similar effect the War has had in every other country touched by it, though, of course, each has expressed it in its own way. It is not certain to what degree we have been spiritually affected by the War. Perhaps there has not yet been that impact upon our mind and soul, that challenge, that catharsis, which others have experienced, and which has found voice in so many of the literary productions of the past four years. But that it is sure to come, there is not the shadow of a doubt. "Man liveth not by bread alone" - this the War has proved anew.

Those who read this series of remarkable addresses will be profited if they are first reminded of exactly the incidents and the peculiar settings which called forth these ex pressions. In approaching the close of the Great War and in recognition of the tremendous responsibilities which would come to Protes tant Christianity, many of a type and character which had not been encountered hitherto, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America was led to recommend a series 'of conferences to be held throughout the nation. The purpose of these conferences was first of all to study anew the questions which are confronting the churches, and second, to bring about nation-wide unity in the expression Of the best methods of meeting the needs thus discovered.

This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Man, the Church and the War There are three difierent courses open to the Christian man to-day. One is to throw his Christian idealism overboard, and post pone his effort to adjust religion to life until the war is over. A second is to hold fast to his Christian idealism and to repudiate the real world he is living in. The third is to take Paul's counsel and seek to behave as a citizen in a manner worthy of the Gospel, be lieving that his present duty is to be a Chris tian not in some other world but in this one, and that this duty can be done in the highest loyalty both to humanity and to Christ. This little book is an attempt at a statement of this third course. If the attempt is not a success, neither is life.

Download or read book The Vital Issues of the War Classic Reprint written by Richard Wilson Boynton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vital Issues of the War The first seven sermons in this volume were preached on successive Sundays in April and May and the eighth in September of the present year. Now that the church seems, in the eyes of many, to have fallen from the high esteem in which it was held by a former generation, no doubt a volume of sermons, even on "The Vital Issues of the War," runs grave risk of not being read. Since the war began, however, sharp criticism has been visited upon the pulpit for evading the discussion of its compelling moral and spiritual problems; it needs, therefore, to be made known that all pulpits, to say the least, have not deserved the reproach of failing to utilize this unique opportunity. So my book goes forth, quite without apology, for what it is - the messages of a preacher to his people in the regular course of his ministry, printed as they were delivered, with only the slight revision desirable for publication. Such utterances inevitably reflect a point of view determined in part by the time at which they were spoken. In this they are in nowise exceptional. Magazine articles, or the chapters of a book, must be finished sometime, and must bear internal evidences of their date of composition. Later impressions, especially of the swiftly-moving panorama of a world-war, would modify certain details. Thus, one could not speak now with as much optimism of the Bolshevik rule in Russia as was possible when Sermon IV was preached last April. Still, I have decided to let the sermon stand, as perhaps an over-sympathetic interpretation of the obscure strivings of the Russian democracy, the final outcome of which is still far from apparent. In such a case, one would rather err by undue generosity than by cold-blooded cynicism, which the sermon was intended to rebuke.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the War We give our own experience on the subject under consideration in the belief that it reflects the experience of a large number in the Christian community, and this with-5 out much regard to sectarian relations. We suddenly find ourselves without any matured principles to guide us in the most trying crisis in the history of the nation and we can recall instances in which, with more or less of explicitness, we have committed ourselves to a policy which a severe test assures us to be wholly inadequate. Hence the change of conviction and, to a much greater extent, of feeling which has come over us. We are free to confess that We have been in the habit of over-estimating the civilization of the age and the country in which we live. Years ago we learned from Gibbon what might be expected of barbarians. But we indulged the hope that the Goths and Vandals belonged only to the early time. We did not expect that an Alaric could come from the land that had given birth to a Washington. The humilia-a ting fact of slavery, of property in man, was indeed before us; and a class of teachers insisted with tolerably severe logic, that a man who would appropriate to his own use the unpaid toil of another, could scruple at nothing. But we had personal acquaintances among slave-holders, and knew that such. An inference, however conclusive as a matter of logic, was not just in point of fact. We could give the names of slave-holders who, aside from what is involved in the fact of being slave-holders, would neither lie, nor steal, nor do an inhuman act.

Download or read book Papers for War Time written by William Temple and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers for War Time: Christianity and War Great Britain is engaged in a war from which, as we believe, there was offered to our nation no honourable way of escape. The desire of all who love their country is to serve it in the hour of its need, and so to live and labour that those who have fallen in its service may not have died in vain. While this may suffice to make immediate duty clear, the war remains in the deepest sense a challenge to Christian thought. The present bitter struggle between nations which for centuries have borne the Christian name indicates some deep-seated failure to understand the principles of Christ and to apply them to human affairs. This series of papers embodies an attempt to reach, by common thought, discussion and prayer, a truer understanding of the meaning of Christianity and of the mission of the Church to the individual, to society and to the world. Those who are promoting the issue of these papers are drawn from different political parties and different Christian bodies. They believe that the truth they seek can be attained only by providing for a measure of diversity in expression. Therefore they do not accept responsibility for the opinions of any paper taken alone. But in spirit they are united, for they are one in the conviction that in Christ and in His Gospel lies the hope of redemption and health for society and for national life.

This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Methodist Episcopal Church and the Civil War The study deals with facts alone, and I have tried to be absolutely fair to all parties. Most of the material which I have had to use is of controversial character, and it was not always easy to come to a conclusion as to the exact facts, and it is not at all to be wondered at if I have made mistakes in some of my conclusions; but while I admit possible mistakes, I can still lay claim to a clear conscience, as far as fairness is con cerned. In many places the account is not as readable as I should have liked to have made it, and where such is the case I have no excuse to offer except that in my desire to be fair I have crowded down all feeling and any attempt at a glorification of the Church, the absence of which has perhaps made the narrative seem more prosaic.

Download or read book The Lutheran Church and the Civil War Classic Reprint written by Charles William Heathcote and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lutheran Church and the Civil War The religious life of peoples and the interplay between religious forces and political and eco nomic forces has too little concerned students of modern history. When church and state were one, when religious differences fostered wars, both national and civil, when the state was free ing itself from the church and the church from the state, religion was politics and the two were often inseparable. But here, in America, where every man may worship God as he wills and the church flourishes independently of the state, we are too apt to overlook the fact that the church exercises an influence on the people, even in matters seemingly political or economic only, more potent by far than is generally appreciated or, ofttimes, even known to any but the most conscious observers. It is with the relation to each other of the Lutheran church and slavery that our author here deals and his study, it is hoped, is the forerunner of many other like con tributions to our national history.
