FROM the earliest times, among all nations, man has sought to recognize his God ; to define that inscrutable Providence which rules the world. Like the successive changes of the forests, the infinite variety of the harvests, the differing notes of the birds, the opposite languages of men, the varied fragrance of the flowers, such is the contrast of religious belief which man's spirit brings, as its first fruits, to its Creator. From Constantinople to the shores of India, China, and Japan, four great world-religions meet in conflict. Each asserts its claims to be regarded as the civilized and saving religion of mankind. Brahmanism has an antiquity of more than three thousand years, Buddhism of twenty-three hundred, the Christian religion of eighteen centuries, the Mahometan of twelve. The number of Christians is perhaps two hundred and fifty millions; that of the Mahometans, Brahmans, and Buddhists united, may be set down as not far from eight hundred millions. This enormous mass of human beings, whom we call pagans, are adherents of systems which are founded on the religious convictions of many centuries, and are improvements upon former modes of worship that have long since passed away. The Christian religion holds possession of Europe and America; the Mahometan, of North Africa, Turkey, Lesser Asia, Palestine, Arabia, Mesopotamia, Persia, and even Northern India; the Brahman holds Hindustan, and some isles; Buddhism predominates in Ceylon, Thibet, the countries north-east of the Ganges, the Birman Empire, Siam, China, Japan, and the Indian Archipelago; also in Russian and Chinese Tartary. Man has his worth-his mission. To properly estimate our own, we must consider it in its relation to that of all other men; not only those who at this day cover the surface of the globe, but those who have preceded us and contributed in action, thought and sentiment, to form the present. Nature, to man in the most primitive state, is all alive; she is a congregation of distinct existences, each moved by the soul or spirit that dwells in it.' There is no harmony, no unity. All is separate, independent life. Hence, almost every object is a subject of suspicion to the savage. He is environed by agencies visible and invisible. Legions of spirits are seen in the woods, the flowers, the fruits, the grass, the mountains, the seas, the lakes, the rivers, the brooks, the fountains, the waterfalls, the birds, and the stars. Trees have their protecting spirits; the animals have their spirits, and are themselves divine spirits." Songs were sung and fasts celebrated in honor of the guardian deities of the bears in Canada. Every appearance is the work of a spirit. If thunder is heard, the mighty god of the thunder is adored. The snow, the frost, the hail, and the storm-winds, have each their especial divinities, which lie concealed in the material substances to which they belong, like the soul in the human body. Spiritual existences inhabit almost everything, and consequently almost everything is an object of worship. Gods are seen "in the mist of the mountain, the rocky defile, the foaming cataract, the lonely dell, the shooting star, the tempest's blast, the evening breeze." The Dacotah has "his god of the north, his god of the south, his god of the woods, and god of the prairies; his god of the air and god of the waters." The savage has his war-god, his fire-god, and his sun-god. The child of Nature reverse the lovely morning-red and the zephyrs that attend the path of the sun; he adores the "great star" Venus and other planets, the clouds, or the shining nymphs of the waters above," and locates souls of the distinguished dead, as deified spirits, in the regions of the air, or among the countless host in the starry heavens....

This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spirit Communion: An Immovable Fact in the Internal Conciousness and External History of Man All-Helping Spirit, aid me to think clearly and speak impressively to these, Thy creatures. Our humble power of Thought, with its immortal instincts, we would now turn to Thee. Our knowledge is very limited; our judgment imperfect; our love grows cold, and our hearts harden in selfishness; while our feet often wander in the thorny paths of wrong-doing and sorrow. Give us the wings of faith and pure desire, that we may, for this hour at least, fly away from the perplexities of weak and misguided judgment; the oppression of care, and the heart-stings of unworthy affections and fears. How wide, O, God! the gulf between the clear skies of Thy unfailing love, and the low, dark, clouds of our ignorance, and the benighted places of our gross indulgences! But Thou dost pity and help us, as our souls bear testimony everyday. Thy beneficent smile, spread o'er the face of Nature, gives rays of light to our dark pathway; and the inspirations of Thy good Spirit warm our hearts to love and adoration. Unreservedly would we commit ourselves and our interests to Thy guiding wisdom, hopefully trusting that we shall be taught that truth which shall never die; gain that treasure which shall never corrupt; secure that faith that shall always deliver; and that delight, angelic, that shall illumine the gateway of death with hope eternal! O, lit us for the heavenly light and life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heritage of the Spirit: And Other Sermons Wilt thou that we call down fire from heaven and consume them, as Elijah didp Note, too, the rebuke of Jesus, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. And even in his own day Elijah seems to have inspired awe and wonder rather than affection. He was a stern, reserved man, who scarcely seemed to feel as other men felt. Not only have we Ahab's startled cry, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? But even the widow of Zarephath, who had watched for months with wondering eye the prophet's sombre face, exclaimed as she clutched the corpse of her boy, Hast thou come to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son? So, too, Obadiah, though supported by a good conscience, still doubted this incomprehensible man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit in Man: Sermons and Selections Horace bushnell was born in 1802 and died in 1876. It is, therefore, now one hundred years since his birth, and twenty-six years since he left this world. It is, perhaps, not more remarkable that a personal influence which had its root in an other century should be still growing and spread ing, than that material of thought produced from thirty to sixty years ago should still have fitness to the thought of to-day, and show equal freshness and vitality. The papers offered in this collection are selected from those left in the care of his wife, and which have lain inert for more than thirty years, with the single exception as to time of that on Inspiration, begun just a year before his death under conditions of feebleness best described by himself in his introduction to it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soul and Spirit of Man MY object in writing this book is to explain to all who want to know, what the soul of a man is; so I will prove to all who read my book that there are three Spirits united in man that contain the soul, and when man dies, in death his soul is quickened and the three spirits are then united in one spirit, and leave his body. Then his soul is a spirit, because it is without the body of the flesh. God has answered my prayers and has revealed the soul to me, and has shown to me what it is, and I feel that it is my duty to let it be known, as there are so many people who do not believe that they have a soul to be'saved. I am of the Baptist denomination, but I believe in all churches that build their foundation upon Jesus Christ, for it is not the name of the church that we belong to that will save us, but if we will follow Jesus Christ we will do the will of our Father who is in heaven, and we will be saved from his wrath; for Jesus Christ died upon the cross for all, and in and through him we are all saved; he gave to his apostles the power to forgive sins, to let the.
