Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Monks Before Christ: Their Spirit and Their History If there is a book in the world which accomplishes just what has been attempted in the following pages, I am ignorant of its existence. I was led to this study by a profound love and admiration for the monks; and I have felt at times the working of their spirit, and longed to be one of their number. If, then, it be thought that I have dealt with them too severely, let it be remembered that I am passing judgment upon myself. It was my fortune to reside for several months at the Catholic University of Munich, in Bavaria, where I came in contact with members of the Order of Saint Benedict, and shall always remember that season as one of the most profitable in my religious experience.

Download or read book The Work of the Monk in Early England Classic Reprint written by Harriet Emily Tuell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work of the Monk in Early England M. Guizot, in his History of Civilization, says that civilization seems to him to be the sum, the expression of the whole life of nations. He defines it as a fact subsisting on two conditions and manifesting itself by two symptoms, the development of social activity and that of individual activity; the progress of society and the pro gress of humanity. To one of our day, looking from an environment which is characterised by so high a degree of individual and social activity, back to a less fortunate age, it would be hard to find anything of greater interest than an attempt to discover what has brought about the change. Encouraged by the statement of M. Guizot that, if limited to certain centuries and certain people, this civilization is a fact which may be described, related, we have attempted within very narrow limits of time and space a study of the work of a single class, that of the monks, toward the furtherance of the progress of society and the progress of humanity.

Download or read book The Monks of the West Vol 5 of 6 written by Charles Forbes Montalembert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Monks of the West, Vol. 5 of 6: From St. Benedict to St. Bernard It was not meet, however, that the work so bravely sacrificed should be altogether thrown away. The critics to whom M. De Montalembert had submitted his work, and the severity of his own judgment of it, concerned only the first portion - the First Book of the printed volume. The rise and early days of the Monastic Orders had seemed to their historian to be described too brie y: the portico had been judged too narrow for the proportions of the edifice. Thus, all the substance of the four hundred pages composing the First Book appears in the volumes of the Monks of the West now given to the public.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

I wish to present the defeated man, as he really is, to the reader who cannot fail to appreciate the humor and tragedy O that makes up his wayward life. The bond of sympathy should be awakened between us and the so-called prodigal. A wider publicity should be given to the unique but practical uplift work that I have founded and carried on for the past five years among these weaker brothers. The stories explain in part the methods and plans of the Family of Self Masters. It is we, believe - the only book in which a writer has received his facts for his stories direct from a life-experience with outcast men.
