Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Civilization Owes to the Church At her very foundation Our Divine Savior gave to her these very definite charges: the diffusion among all nations of the teaching of Christianity; the preservation of the treasure of the Faith; the maintaining in honor before men the beauty of Christian revelation; the inclining of men's wil'ls to the observance of a lofty moral law. These were the commissions. Given to the Church in the beginning: a stupendous program, guaranteed against failure by Him who gave it. To bring men's minds into conformity with God's mind by right thinking, and men's hands into conformity with God's law by right acting - which alone is supernatural religion - this was the work of the Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civilization Before and After Christianity: Two Lectures Delivered in St. Paul's Cathedral, at the Tuesday Evening Services, January 23rd 30th, 1872 The first set was delivered by Mr. Gregory, in answer to the question, "Are we better than our Fathers?" and in them he considered the comparative distribution of wealth among different ranks of English society, now and in the seventeenth century, the relative positions of rich and poor, and the ties by which various classes of the community are bound together, at the two eras. In the next course. Dr. Liddon examined the assumption, often boldly made, that Christianity is on the decline, in its political, intellectual, social, and moral aspects. The third was by Bishop Claughton, on the Ethics of Mahomedanism and Buddhism, as compared with the Ethics of Christianity. My interrupted set came next, and Professor Lightfoot was to have finished the series by some lectures on early Christian life.

Download or read book Notes on St Martin s Church and Parish Classic Reprint written by Thomas H. Baker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on St. Martin's Church and Parish My friend, Mr. Baker, has asked me to write a few words of introduction to the Notes which he has compiled on St. Martin's Church. The Book owes its origin to a small cause. A few years ago a sermon was preached at St. Martin's, in which some account was given of the history of the Church and its ornaments. It aroused considerable interest, and as some members of the con gregation expressed a desire to, see the information in print, Mr. Baker kindly_undertook the publication of a leaflet, which should serve as a guide for visitors, containing a brief summary of the different points to be noticed in the fabric of the Church, &c. It was felt, however, that there was so much more to be said on the subject, and so much interesting material to draw from in the Churchwardens' Accounts, Vestry Books, and documents in the Church Chests, that Mr. Baker consented to do a further service, and collect and record all that he thought would be of value to those who desired to know more of the history which gathered round their Parish Church. The result is now given to the reader in the following pages. To the writer, the Book, which is the outcome of many hours of research, has been a labour of love, but he would not wish it to be regarded as more than a collection of Notes. As such, however, it is a veritable mine of wealth, from which a great deal of interesting and valuable information can be drawn. Mr. Baker deserves our warmest thanks for placing so many facts within our reach, and helping us to realise something of the part which our old Church and Parish have played in the history of this City and Country.

Download or read book The Utah Review Vol 1 written by Theophilus B. Hilton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Utah Review, Vol. 1: March, 1882 Whoever has thoughtfully considered the relations that the Christian church sustains to _the peculiar civilization of this New West, and its antagonism to the religious despotism. Of this Territory, must recognize the fact that, whatever permanent success it may have attained, and whatever in uence it may have exerted upon the Mormon community, have been mainly through the school work of the church. Utah owes her better civilization, her culture in American Principles, and her broader thought, to the Christian schools, established along with the planting of the churches. The Methodist Church opened its first mission school in Salt Lake City, September 12, 1870, with an enrollment of twenty-eight pupils. It gained rapidly in favor and in uence in the city, and for a time its permanent success seemed assured. By reason of untoward circum stances it lost its prestige and reached a very low ebb. During the past year, however, a renewed effort has been made to establish it on a perma nent basis, and make it the central school of the church for the Territory. A new and vigorous policy. Is now being pursued to accomplish this end. The success of the school thus far during the present year, through the untiring energy of the Principal, Rev. T. B. Hilton, A. M., and the. Faithful work performed by his associate teachers, is very gratifying. There has been a continued increase in the number of pupils in attend ance, a higher degree of efficiency attained, and a growing Confidence in the community in its ultimate success. It is the purpose of the church to develop this school into a Uni versity. As tributary to this, Seminaries have been established at Ogden, Tooele, Beaver and Provo, where new and permanent improvements in school buildings have been made during the present year.

Download or read book How the Irish Saved Civilization written by Thomas Cahill and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2010-04-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A book in the best tradition of popular history—the untold story of Ireland's role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe. • The perfect St. Patrick's Day gift! Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars"—and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization -- copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost—they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated. In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilization.
Download or read book On the Abbey of S Edmund at Bury written by Montague Rhodes James and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Abbey of S. Edmund at Bury: I, the Library, II, the Church Useless, however, I cannot think it, unless the gauging of the intellectual resources or the mental equipment of the men of old time be useless. In a modern biography it is often a chief point of interest to know what books the subject of the biography liked best - to what authors he owed most. And in a case like the present we are but extending the field a little, and ascertaining what authors were studied by a whole body of men who in their time were a mighty power in Eastern England, nay, at the ruling centre of England itself. I am not a historian, but I feel certain that it is worth while to know something about the literary and religious influences under which the members of so great a society as was the Abbey of Bury were educated. But I must approach the subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Double Doctrine of the Church of Rome The Church blessed the methods em ployed by those who really loved and served her; and all such would be considered not only permissible but laudable. What then was to become of the moral code, if ecclesiastical and moral duty clashed? The first is law, the second habit, was the reply. The moral habit is helpful doubtless to primitive simple folk, but it is dead and lifeless in itself, and often crushes the spirit. No great work was ever done by narrow moralists; for with that rule of life, we neither grow nor accomplish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Chaos to Catholicism Students in all departments of intellectual, social and political life are beginning to assert that the long process of analysis, which for several centuries has controlled Western thought and activity, is now drawing rapidly to its close. Even amidst the disappointments of the Peace we cannot be insensible to the fact that an age is dying. Old things are passing away, and the storms and tumults of our time are the harbingers of some new creation. It may be that we are approaching a culmination in which it will be possible to combine, in a richer spiritual complex than has been known, some long dispersed factors of Christian civilization. The moment is one in which faith may be courageous. The most eager and inquiring of Christian men are feeling that in the perplexity and paralysis of the world there is a ground of hope. It seems that upon our rocking skies the Son of Man may come to create, if men so will, a new earth. It is the writer's firm conviction that if fire from God is needed to fuse the disintegrated life of society, it must fall first upon the altars of the Church.
