Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 122: January, 1876 The cross and altar fill the foreground of the picture; when the brilliant narrative groups on a single stage all the heroic and venerable figures; but the huge bulk of our American Christianity is broken into many fragments its energetic life is poured through various and widely separated channels whatever of romance gilds it belongs to its earliest youth. Yet neither the lack of romantic interest, nor the hindrances to a satisfactory analysis, should deter any one from an honest attempt to measure the real success of an experiment in which such great and manifold issues are involved.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1883, Vol. 137 It would be a very narrow intellect which should think lightly of those triumphs of invention or achievements of science which form so prominent a characteristic of the present age; but it would be a very short-sighted vision which should not see the inaptitude of these to secure social perfection. The penetrating thought will reach to the full requirements of the case; and the nineteenth century, not lacking in penetration, will see that it can only be saved, and will only be satisfied, by becoming more Christlike.

This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1883, Vol. 136 A brief glance at the history of creeds is sufficient to indi cate the working of some law of growth, and, to some extent, of revision, in Christian theology, and to justify the inference that further statements and restatements of faith must follow in their own time. The significant fact should not be overlooked, that this process of renewal and rejuvenescence of creeds is no accidental matter; it is the first law of Christian creeds, for they contain within themselves the principle of their own revision. The Protestant Confessions, in particular, distinctly assume the possibility of their own improvement, for they uniformly subject themselves to the Word of God as their supreme law. Whoever subscribes to these creeds is bound in honor to hold them always in subordination to his study of the Scriptures. He violates, not merely their letter, but their life, if he does not so hold them. This principle of the supremacy of Scripture is a formative prin ciple of Protestant creeds, and it involves in it the admission, and at times the obligation, of their revision. Consequently, honesty in subscription may require more than a stalwart adher ence to their terms; it may sometimes lay upon such as are able to bear it, the duty of criticism, and the burden of restating their truths; as fidelity to a trust may sometimes require careful reinvestment of funds, while refusal or negligence to save a property by timely reinvestment might satisfy the letter, and break the intention, of a deed. It needs to be insisted that loyalty to the real mission of historic creeds, as well as obedience to their higher law of the Scriptures, which is acknowledged in the very act of subscription, may bring to honest men the duty of their preservation by their revision. The practical question, then, is not whether creeds may be reinvested in better forms of statement by theologians who hold them in trust, but whether the work of revision is timely; whether, in any particular age, the time is fully come, and the necessity apparent, for a fresh readaptation of Christian doc trine to the thoughts and lives of men. Does this work lie now before the door of the Protestant Church? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, 1896, Vol. 163 What the great advocate then so unhesitatingly sug gested, many a thoughtful American since then has at least sus pected - that our great proclamation, as a piece of political literature, cannot stand the test of modern analysis; that it belongs to the immense class of over-praised productions; that it is, in fact, a stately patchwork of sweeping propositions of somewhat doubtful validity that it has long imposed upon man kind by the well-known effectiveness of verbal glitter and sound that, at the best, it is an example of orid political declamation belonging to the sophomoric period of our national life, a period which, as we atter ourselves, we have now outgrown. Nevertheless, it is to be noted that whatever authority the Declaration of Independence has acquired in the world, has been due to no lack of criticism, either at the time of its first appear ance, or since then; a fact which seems to tell in favor of its es sential worth and strength. From the date of its original publica tion down to the present moment, it has been attacked again and again, either in anger, or in contempt, by friends as well as by enemies of the American Revolution, by liberals in politics as well as by conservatives. It has been censured for its substance, it has been censured for its form, for its misstatements of fact, for its fallacies in reasoning, for its audacious novelties and para doxes, for its total lack of all novelty, for its repetition of old and threadbare statements, even for its downright plagiarisms; finally.

Had we the materials, they could not properly be presented in a general sketch; and a critical examination could embrace, at any one time, in a work of this kind, but a small portion of the century and a half, elapsed since the first Europeans visited the Ohio valley.

Download or read book The North American Review Vol 79 Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 79 A grate or stove, rather than a subterranean furnace, may be supposed to warm this imagined house. It was not enough that the bright creature, fire, once the happiest of the social circle, as it danced freely on a broad, Open hearth, - received the stone of coal, when it asked for the bread of wood. It was imprisoned a long time in stoves, and now is condemned to the Plutonic region of the cellar, with nothing to commemo rate its departure except the small open grave or vault of a register. We ignore so summary a disposal of an Old friend; and, inasmuch as the obsolete fireplace is but a dim tradition of the past, the poetry and theology of art must be sought for in the stove, notwithstanding it has been vilified as a red-hot demon. A stove, or a grate, is at first a seemingly rotten stone next, a rude mass of metal; then, by the ingenious art of casting, in a variety of sand which appears to have been expressly provided for the purpose, it is moulded into elabo rate figures. The brown, crumbling ore grows, blooms, and ripens into vines, flowers, and fruits of iron. It is an unfold ing of one intent of Nature, the susceptibility certifying the intent. Of embroidered mats and ottomans, the same can hardly be said. Woollen doves and merino roses may be an improve ment on the tangled and soiled garment of the sheep; but the occupation is so utterly mechanical and so slightly useful, that woman's needle thus employed is as worthless as the famous Cleopatra's Needle. Damask curtains, or any tissues of silk, are not open to a like objection. The silk-worm, with no im provable intellect, spins the silver fibre, subtile as a ray of light, as if with conscious reference to the use man will make of it; and man spins it as a remunerative trade. In designing the cocoon, the Creator has emphatically recognized human ih dustry as cooperative with him; his purpose is silently uttered, yet as plainly as when he said to Moses, Thou shalt make the tabernacle with curtains of fine-twined linen, and blue and purple and scarlet.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 162: January, 1896 Addressing himself to his task under these circumstances, his argument is partly negative, and partly affirmative. The first goes to show the futility or insufficiency of the presumptions against survival which are drawn from the character of death. The second and more limited part goes to show substantive likeli hoods, drawn from nature or experience, that the soul may sur vive death. In the first he is eminently successful. In the second we become sensible how scanty is the supply of material at his command. Much of the depreciation lavished on the chapter has arisen from'the careless supposition that he is advancing as substantive arguments what in reality he only propounds as re buttals of adverse presumptions.
