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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church After the War What? Two words, community and unity, are to the front in this day. The Church exists for the community. The churches, through unity of spirit and of thought and of action, must become the ablest servants of the community or surrender to other agencies the opportunity that is offered to them. The religious leaders who wish to see the principles herein stated put into practice, do not now need to experiment. So many cities have interchurch organizations which have made these experiments and have worked out successful plans for cooperative efforts, that others can profit by their experiences. It is earnestly hoped that this series Of addresses will arouse many to action. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Download or read book War Time Agencies of the Churches written by Margaret Renton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War-Time Agencies of the Churches: Directory and Handbook The handbook which follows gives a brief record of the war activities of the different denominational and interchurch agencies engaged in war work. It is an attempt to bring together in a single volume, information as to the war work of the Christian Church not otherwise readily accessible. While necessarily confining itself to agencies of an official character, denominational and interdenominational, and leaving for a later volume the more complete interpretation of the war work of the Church as a whole, it is hoped that it may serve a useful purpose by showing how the Churches severally and in cooperation met the new responsibilities and opportunities of service created by the war. The organizations whose work is here described are primarily those which have cooperated in the General War-Time Commission of the Churches. For purposes of completeness, however, a brief record has been included of the war work of other religious bodies which have functioned through war commissions or war organizations. Agencies of a more philanthropic nature, such as the Red Cross and the War Camp Community Service, have not been included, although no story of the Church's activity would be complete which did not include the record of what its members have done in and through these agencies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from What of the Churches and Clergy? A noted clergyman recently remarked that "the Evangelical Churches are a stumbling block to the progress of true Christianity." Before endorsing this assertion to be the truth, or condemning it as utterly false, it is the duly of all to read and investigate, in order to ascertain whether the Churches are up to the standard intended by the Great Master, or the Clergy fitted for the high calling they have chosen, as regards their power, influence, and their daily life and character.

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.

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.
