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. To enlighten and convince is the desire and aim in bringing this book before the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John and I and the Church When he went to preach in Hope Valley there was little salary attached to the call. Enough, however, for us two and the baby to live upon as comfortably as the majority of people about us. To be sure there were a few who were well to do, living in houses rather pretentious, and dressing expensively. One or two of these fa vored of fortune belonged to our church, or rather to the little hall above the drug store. It was not long before the small room was crowded. More ch airs were brought - not bought. There was little to contribute to the church save chairs and a few lamps. Rents were low - and so was the minister's pay. As to the chairs being brought, John often says that he wishes large churches were furnished in that way. There is a personal satisfaction in providing seats for strangers, just as you would draw the chairs up to the fire in your own house and bid anyone who happened to drop in feel at home. Of course, in general church expenses the seating usually comes in, but we miss the satisfaction of a personal interest in those who occupy the pews. One cannot look about and say to him self, I am glad I brought that chair, for there is Mr. Brotherlyslove, or Mr. Timorous sitting in it. I believe I shall bring another.

In all, the S. P. G. Supported 84 missionaries in 80 central stations, between 1702 and 1785.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies Church History: The Rise of the Temporal Power Benefit of Clergy Excommunication If in this I have appeared to dwell too exclusively on the faults and wrong-doing of the church, it has arisen from no lack of appreciation of the services rendered to humanity by the organization which in all ages has assumed for itself the monopoly of the heritage of Christ. Yet if we ask what would have been the condition of the world if that organization had not succeeded in bearing the ark of Christianity through the wilderness of the first fifteen centuries, in summing up the benefits which man has derived through the church, we may also not unreasonably inquire how much greater would have been our advance in all that renders us worthy of the precepts of the Gospel had that.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church History, Vol. 1 of 3 The English reader is here presented with a translation of the ninth edition of a work which first appeared in 1849, and has Obtained a most distinguished place, it might be said almost a monopoly, as a text-book of Church History in the German Universities. Since 1850, when the second edition was issued, an English translation of which has been Widely used in Britain and America, Dr. Kurtz has given great attention to the improvement Of his book. The in crease of size has not been caused by wordy amplification, but by an urgent necessity felt by the author as he used the vast materials that recent years have spread out before the historical student. In 1870 Dr. Kurtz retired from his professorship, and has conscientiously *devoted himself to bring up each successive edition of his text-book to the point reached by the very latest scholarship of his own and other lands. In his Preface to the ninth edition of 1885 he claims to have made very special improvements on the presentation of the history of the first three centuries, where ample use is made of the brilliant researches of Harnack and other distinguished scholars of the day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Garden of the Lord This book is not addressed primarily to the clergy, but rather to that large public which, at least in the Anglican Communion, vigorously asserts its interest in the Church. And in her clergy and lay workers. It is neither a theolog ical treatise nor a handbook on parochial ef fectiveness, although it necessarily treats of theological matters and is concerned chiefly with parochial affairs, and methods of Church work. It attempts to bring together and present as a cognate whole the various facts, conditions, and objects of criticism which are listed near the end of Chapter I. It is intended to be wholly practical, and to deal primarily with matters not commonly touched upon even by writers of handbooks. If it shall serve to stim ulate in the direction of the reforms which are indicated, it will have succeeded in its purpose; and it is offered to its readers in the single hope that in however incon siderable a fashion, it may contribute to the furtherance of clear thought about problems connected with God's Holy Catholic Church.

And to the community. There is a ferment in the public mind, threatening danger to all exist ing institutions; and among the rest to that, in the welfare of which we are most deeply interested, the Established Church. For in addition to those who are opposed to it on religious grounds - because they object to its doctrines or its discipline, or think its union with the State prejudicial to its spiritual character - it has to encounter other, and even more formidable opponents. There are some who wish to bring about what are called organic changes in the civil constitution. They naturally labour for the subversion of the Established Church; not because they are hostile to it in particular, but because it is an institution, closely connected with the other institutions of the land, and therefore an obstacle in their way. There are others, of whom I have already observed that they aim at effecting a change, not in the political constitution of the country, but in the frame of society itself. Their doctrines strike at the root of all religious and moral obligation. Man, according to them, is not a moral agent, having within him a principle of immortality, but a mere compound of perishable matter. Consistently with this doctrine, they teach that he ought to seek his true happiness in pro curing for himself the greatest possible amount of animal enjoyment; and that the existence of an intelligent Creator and righteous Governor of the universe, to whom he is accountable for his actions.
