Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian in War Time The United States is gradually beginning to realize that it really is at war. Prices are soaring, conscription has passed and when it becomes operative we shall realize as we have not yet done that war is upon us. Commissions have been here from England, France, Italy and Russia conferring with the government on methods of warfare, and on the part the United States is to take in the conflict. There are a great many good Christians in the United States who do not like war but who feel that this war was inevitable and that the country was dragged into it by no fault of its own. They have found it difficult to reconcile themselves to it, and probably would not have been able to do so for the excuses given for entering upon the war. How that they have discovered that the real reason for President Wilson taking the step he did was the fear expressed to him by the Allies that the outcome was extremely dubious unless they had immediate help, these people have become more resigned to it. They see that we are faced with two alternatives, Prussianism or democracy ruling the future, and that democracy and all it stands for is in danger of being lost both to the old world and to tire new.

Download or read book Papers for War Time written by William Temple and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 694 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers for War Time: Christianity and War Great Britain is engaged in a war from which, as we believe, there was offered to our nation no honourable way of escape. The desire of all who love their country is to serve it in the hour of its need, and so to live and labour that those who have fallen in its service may not have died in vain. While this may suffice to make immediate duty clear, the war remains in the deepest sense a challenge to Christian thought. The present bitter struggle between nations which for centuries have borne the Christian name indicates some deep-seated failure to understand the principles of Christ and to apply them to human affairs. This series of papers embodies an attempt to reach, by common thought, discussion and prayer, a truer understanding of the meaning of Christianity and of the mission of the Church to the individual, to society and to the world. Those who are promoting the issue of these papers are drawn from different political parties and different Christian bodies. They believe that the truth they seek can be attained only by providing for a measure of diversity in expression. Therefore they do not accept responsibility for the opinions of any paper taken alone. But in spirit they are united, for they are one in the conviction that in Christ and in His Gospel lies the hope of redemption and health for society and for national life.

They are now published at the solicitation of friends upon whose judgment I rely, because the principles they embody still need to be emphasized; and also because they furnish proof of a fact that ought not to be forgotten, - namely, that the Christian Church did not wholly fail to discern the true significance of the War as an assault upon Liberty and Democracy everywhere, and did not hesitate to urge, nearly two years before America declared war, that our policy should not be governed by counsels of timidity and international opportunism, but by a steadfast regard to the ideals handed down to us by our Revolutionary ancestors; by fidelity to the principles enshrined in our Constitution; by a brave determination to vindicate the honor and majesty of the Republic; above all, by loyalty to justice - that justice which is the basis of all true civilization.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Call of a World Task in War Time, Vol. 1: The Demands Which Are Being Made in These War Years for a New Expression of International Christianity Foremost among the profound and urgent messages which God is uttering to His Church in this awful hour, is the clarion call for reality in religion. To that call let us direct our first attention. We are moving into the new world order through blood and fire. It was little more than yesterday that an influential New York daily wrote thus of the pros peets of universal peace: It was nearer last year than it was the year before; it is nearer this year than it was last year; it is nearer now, today, than it was on the first day of the present year, and, with an advancing step, that has never gone backward, through all these years, the prophecy is safe and beautiful that we are marching swiftly into the vast open of universal peace.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and War But nobody in all the world feels the load of such questions like the ministers of Christ and the preachers of His gospel. Be assured, my Friend, that the Christian people and their ministers in Serbia "live not by bread alone," but also search sincerely and painfully for the answers to the above questions. On that account allow me both as a minister of the gospel and as an eye-witness of the war to give the same answer to you that I have given to my Serbian flock, impelled as I am by the same spiritual needs as all religious men of the Old and New Worlds. Where is Christianity? That is the first question. My answer is: Only there where suffering is. If I say that, I do not mean unmerited suffering only, but merited suffering too. For all suffering purifies and ennobles. Suffering for righteousness is always suffering caused by others and suffering for unrighteousness is always suffering caused by ourselves. The righteous man always suffers, either for those who have lived before him, or for those who will live after him. The cause of a good man's suffering lies outside him; the cause of a bad man's suffering lies within him. Just as suffering strengthens the good man in his goodness, so it weakens the bad man in his badness. The man who never suffered either in soul or in body was never a Christian man. The history of Christianity is the history of suffering in all its myriad forms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This question must be exercising many hearts of earnest Christians to day, men and women who have taken Christ as the Master not only of their outward life, but also of the very springs of their soul, in heart and mind and will. Our Lord has taught us to be meek and gentle, to quench the flames of anger, to be ready to forgive. He says to us, Love your enemies, and pray for them that persecute you; that ye may be sons of your Father which is in heaven. And He teaches us, Resist not him that is evil.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sword of Christ and the World War The World War has forced many new, pressing, and perplexing problems upon the preacher. To him has been intrusted the gospel of reconciliation, of peace and good will to men, and how to preach that gospel in a world of war when nation is divided against nation and a man's foes are found even in his own national household, is by no means easy for him to determine. He may be successful in evading or ignoring the problems of the higher criticism and the doctrine of evolution; but war, with its terrible, insistent, and heart-searching questions, is a brutal, stubborn fact that must be met and answered. Let it be granted that the preacher has fallen upon difficult days. New questions which go to the very core of religion and ethics are hurled at him. A hundred new demands are being made upon his time, and when he is asked to give up his service for the advertising of liberty loans or for a discussion of the problems of food conservation, he is sometimes in doubt as to whether the calls of country are the calls of God.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Call of a World Task in War Time These studies have been prepared as part of the ad vance missionary program which emanated from the Student Volunteer Conference held at Northfield, Mass, January 3-6, 1918. It was felt by leaders of the Student Christian Movements in the United States and Canada that accompanying a call to the students of these nations for intensified missionary undertakings in this college year there should be the promise of a new course of study interpreting the present world situation in terms of missionary responsibility. It was with much reluctance that the writer consented to pre pare a book within the brief compass of a month on so immense and important a subject. The haste with which it has been written will account in part for its obvious limitations of material and style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War in Heaven IT is considered, by the writer, due alike to the reader and himself that a brief statement of the circumstances under which the peculiar views in the following pages presented were first, by him, conceived. Having been blest with Christian parents, who required of all their children, as soon as they were able to do so, that each should read a prescribed portion of the Sacred Scriptures on every Sabbath, he acquired, in early life, a habit of frequent and careful reading of that goodbook, and which grew with his growth and strengthened with his strength. At the early age of seventeen, he united with the Church of Christ. When about twenty-one years old, the little society of which he was a member dissolved for want of numbers sufficient to work efficiently, and each member was furnished with a letter of dis mission. He had already engaged in the practice of his profession, and within a few years became so completely absorbed in such duties, and in the care of an increasing family, that he found but little time, Sundays only excepted, for theological reading. For some thirteen years he held such Church letter, and was deprived of all those blessed privileges and safeguards which can only be found inside of regular Church membership. As is usual with young Christians who suffer themselves too much involved in the cares and business of this world, he became far too careless of his dearest interest. His mind was led off and off from the subject of religion; his attention to private devotion and public wor ship grew less and less, and, as a natural sequence, he began to doubt the truth of first one, then of another, and yet another, and so on, of the fundamental doctrines of our holy religion, until he had neared the awful whirlpool of infidelity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War and Its Issues: An Attempt at a Christian Judgment While the original germ of this paper was a speech at Queens' College, it grew to its present form and dimensions purely through the impulse to think out my own relations to the present crisis. Though work done in that way, without thought of a public, is apt to be heedless of the possibilities of misunderstanding, the result is now published, partly in the hope that in the present great perplexity even its imperfect guidance may help to a better solution, and partly from a sense that, if what one hears in the ear in the closet demands moral co-operation, it should be preached on the house-top.
