31779And as such does he not need a Savior?
31779And if death only entered the world because of sin, why does all nature die?
31779And if not, why make such a fuss about it?
31779And if rebellious angels had to be punished why not do it by annihilation instead of making this burning hell for them?

31779And if so,_ which_ is the right one?
31779And is there but_ one_ true path to God, while all the others only lead to hell?

31779CHAPTER VII A NEW INTERPRETATION OF RELIGION What is religion?
31779Can a just God do that?
31779Can any mortal in this age of the world believe such nonsense, or perpetrate such a caricature of God?
31779Can perfection, or that which is perfect, fall?
31779Can these later books be quoted as_ authority_ for that which existed, in some instances, a thousand years before they were written?
31779Could a just God be guilty of such outrageous conduct?
31779Could n''t God take care of himself and find his way back to Nazareth at any time he wished to go?
31779Could such a God be just?
31779Did all this come upon all nature because Adam ate an apple?
31779Did death enter the world, as we have always been taught, because of this sin?
31779Did he walk uprightly before, and did he have legs and feet?
31779Did that spirit of truth ever come?
31779Does not Christianity meet this necessity?
31779Does not this confirm that what the serpent said was true?
31779Does the reader inquire here what are the"ordinary methods of interpretation"?
31779During these years of Paul''s obscurity, both in Arabia and at Tarsus, what was he probably doing?

31779How are we to know what is inspired from what is not?
31779How can man attain unto right relations with his God?
31779How could anything fit to be called_ character_ ever have been produced there?
31779How could the Holy Spirit"inspire"in two different men, writing upon the same subject, such varying and irreconcilable accounts of the same event?
31779How could we know anything about the one but thru its contrast with the other?
31779How could we know that it was good?
31779How then did the idea of a supernatural birth and the deification of Jesus come about, if it was not a real fact?
31779I asked myself the questions: May not Christianity be substantially true after all?
31779If God could so use the Methodist Church for this purpose, why might not I?
31779If God foresaw what Adam would do and the dreadful consequences of it, why did He not make him different so he would not fall?
31779If either man or angels were created pure, perfect, holy, and in the image and likeness of God, how can such a being fall?
31779If his spirit could enter into the hearts of men and direct their thoughts and minds, why did He not do it and stop this useless slaughter?
31779If man was so perverse that he needed to be destroyed, why wreak vengeance also on the animal creation that had not sinned?
31779If so, how many were saved?
31779If the New Testament was truly inspired of God and infallibly true, what difference did it make if the Old was doubtful and uncertain?
31779If there were no such thing as evil, how could we be conscious of the good?
31779If we had never tasted anything but sugar, could we know what bitterness is?

31779Is it not of vital importance to know?
31779Is not man a sinner?
31779Is not the Bible after all, tho of purely human origin as I now conceived, a valuable book?
31779May not the"great plan of salvation"be true after all?
31779May we not yet find much valuable truth in it, tho neither inspired nor infallible?
31779No need to go into any argument here upon the question of whether,"If a man die shall he live again?"
31779Now, was the first sin that eternally damned the whole human race a mere matter of eating from a forbidden tree?
31779Or just the reverse?
31779Shall I come before him with burnt- offerings, with calves a year old?
31779Shall I give my first- born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"
31779The question arises: Was Eve never to be a mother but for this transaction?
31779The question has been asked, why_ burn_ the offering?
31779The test of inspiration is whether or not it reproduces its kind:--Does it inspire?
31779Then how was the race to be propagated?
31779Then if the Jews_ had not_ rejected Jesus and thereby caused his blood to be shed, what would have been the eternal destiny of the whole human race?
31779Then what is religion?
31779Then where did Luke get this information?
31779Then why save any seed of such perverse stock?
31779Then, what do we_ know_ about Jesus?
31779Turning now for a moment to the New Testament: Is it the source and authority for Christianity?
31779Was Adam to be immortal in the flesh if he had not eaten of the forbidden fruit?
31779Was character of no avail?
31779Was faith the only thing that could merit the favor of God?
31779Was it not just as easy?
31779Was it possible that all this upon which I had staked my whole life, and had been preaching for years, was a mere fiction?
31779Was not God the very essence of truth?
31779Was salvation after all as arbitrary as that described in"Holy Willie''s Prayer"?
31779Were none of these things on the earth before?
31779Were the rose bushes in the Garden of Eden"thornless"?
31779What about the"plan of salvation,"the remission of sins only thru the"power of the blood"?
31779What did baptism amount to anyway?
31779What did he eat before?
31779What do we know about Jesus anyway?
31779What is there in all the world''s literature more inspired and more inspiring than this?
31779What is_ my_ conception of God?
31779What must man do to be saved?
31779What then is to be the test of inspiration?
31779What was the meaning, intent and purpose of this vicarious atonement?
31779When Joseph and Mary found him in the temple, she is quoted as saying,"Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?
31779Whence came these beliefs?
31779Which was first of the two?
31779Who can believe such a caricature of God?
31779Who can read Emerson''s essay on Spiritual Laws, or The Over- Soul, and not be inspired?
31779Who created the angels, or were they co- eternal with God?
31779Who made hell?
31779Why did not God reveal this promise to all mankind alike, so that all might be saved, instead of to one family and one nation?
31779Why was it not sufficient simply to shed the blood?
31779Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
31779Will it in any way injure me, or any one else?
31779With these records as a basis, or starting point, we must work out the problem for ourselves: Who and what was Jesus?
31779Would an all- wise, a just and good God create such beings, knowing in advance what they would do and what the consequences of it would be?
31779Yet, I could not see why we might not affiliate with, and co- operate more with our Methodist brethren, imperfect and unscriptural(?)
31779_ HEAVEN AND HELL_ But do I not believe in heaven and hell?
31779_ MAN_"What is man that thou art mindful of him?"
31779_ SALVATION_ What is salvation?
31779and whence came the devil?
31779or Bryant''s Lines to a Water- fowl, or Thanatopsis, and not be inspired?
31779or Longfellow''s Resignation?
31779or was it to be propagated at all?
31779that of the myriads who, Before us passed the door of darkness thru, Not one returns, to tell us of the road, Which to discover, we must travel too?"
41280How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
41280If such were the ideal of Jesus in fact, why did he not seek to realize it at once? 41280 Lord, to whom shall we go?
4128030) which shall betoken his own coming and the great world- change?
41280Am I told that it is hopeless at so late an hour to separate what is an indigenous gift from what is implanted by education?
41280And here I stop to ask again, Can all this suit the urgent necessities of our times?
41280And how?
41280And instead of consulting the maturity of thought, are we to peer into its cradle and seek oracles in its infant cries?
41280And is not a pure mind the very moral atmosphere in which man sees God as he is, and rejoices in the sight?
41280And must we not believe that such men and women were true Christians?
41280And shall I risk the vastly greater evil of poisoning its soul, by allowing it to be tainted with heretical books and teachers in free schools?
41280And this has been, by an old Roman Catholic writer, very clearly expressed in these three words:"The priest, what is he?
41280And why was this?
41280And, if at all, how far?
41280But are such things to be reckoned among the essentials of Christian faith or Christian righteousness?
41280But does not the age in turn need this teaching?
41280But does this make Christianity only a human growth, and so predict a coming decay, which many seem to think has already begun?
41280But how when he returned was the throne of David to be restored, and a proper, literal reign to exist, and not a mere spiritual reign?
41280But is that the tendency of things?
41280But then,_ Why_ must he grant it?
41280But to what else shall we turn?
41280But what is it that entitles such persons all alike to the Christian character and name?
41280But what is to determine the character of this power?
41280Can there be any doubt upon either of these points-- either the culture or welfare?
41280Could any political kingdom arise in a more outwardly striking manner?
41280Could he think that within that time the destinies of Humanity as he knew it would be closed?
41280Could that teacher suppose that the opportunity for performing such duties would cease for ever before the last of his apostles should have died?
41280Could there be a condition more horrible?
41280Did he adopt them?
41280Did he claim to be such a Messiah as the Jews expected?
41280Do not minds advance unequally in truth, in all the successive phases of a soul''s spiritual growth?
41280Do those changes make matters better or worse?
41280Do we care to know the evidence on which it rests?
41280Do we ever tire of Jesus Christ, considered as the sinless image, within human limitations, of God''s love and truth and mercy and purity?
41280Do we ever tire of hearing the wondrous story of his obedient, disinterested, and exalted life and sacrifice?
41280Do we ever tire of the stars, or the horizon, or the blue sky, or the dawn, or the sunset, or running water, or natural gems?
41280Do you expect to find them so now?
41280Do you wonder that the priests oppose our school system?
41280Does it not discharge as dreams their most assured revelations?
41280For how, indeed, can it be otherwise?
41280For what does the word mean, and whence is it borrowed?
41280Had it not done so, how could it have touched and moved them as it did, and as, through them, it has touched and moved the world ever since?
41280Has it any other possible solution?
41280Has mankind outgrown the influence of religion to- day?
41280Has the spread of knowledge, the advance of science, the development of literature, art, culture, weakened its power in Christendom?
41280Have not real and affecting mysteries been very much transferred for the time from theology to philosophy, from the priest to the professor?
41280He has no doubt of the truth of the story;"what did the lion say then?"
41280How could he say the kingdom of God was among them_ already_, if it were yet to come at the time of the great world- change?
41280How did he regard these ideas and expectations?
41280How far does the cause of Christianity depend on the facts, or alleged facts, of the Gospel narrative?
41280How far is our idea of Christ affected by a mode of interpretation which supposes a mingling of mythical with historic elements in the Gospel record?
41280How is it at the present time?
41280How shall we carry sudden help unless we hear at once the story?
41280How shall we send prompt help if there be no strong and swift messenger waiting at our door?
41280How, then, could Jesus say the kingdom of God cometh not with_ observation_?
41280If by critical investigation the fact were made doubtful, would that doubt at all impair the truth of the idea?
41280If so, will it not follow that in every one of their differing communions true Christians are to be found?
41280If there is nothing above this world or beyond this life; if we came from nothing and are going nowhere, what interest is there in the world?
41280If this be so, how will the discovery affect our natural trust in the intimations of our supreme faculties?
41280In short, when is it, that a man does and is, the highest that he is capable of?
41280In the new church, in that_ basilica_, what do we find?
41280In what shall we find an answer to our inquiry, as to the true idea of the Christian Gospel?
41280Is all this real Christianity?
41280Is it as new as it seems?
41280Is it as threatening to the cause of religious faith as it seems?
41280Is it not even so with ourselves at the present moment?
41280Is it not in truth a strange choice, to set up"_ Evolution_,"of all things, as the negation of_ Purpose_ pre- disposing what is to come?
41280Is it not natural-- is it not inevitable, that this tendency should yet develop itself in the higher concerns of his being?
41280Is it not simply in this, that they receive and reverence Jesus as the beloved Son in whom God was well pleased?
41280Is it not the clear self- revelation of a God, one, all- wise, omnipotent?
41280Is it not well?
41280Is it that religion is growing_ less_ mystic?
41280Is not Christ, so true elsewhere, mistaken here?
41280Is our wisdom to be gathered by going back to the age before our errors?
41280Is that the truth after which our souls hunger and thirst?
41280Is this scepticism imaginary?
41280Is this the sober truth?
41280Is, then, the transmigration of forces altogether an illusion?
41280It ends in a doctrine of despair, which cries continually,"What is the use?"
41280Must we exaggerate, must we be unfair in our attacks?
41280Must we go to sleep, thinking there is nothing to do?
41280Now can chance have evolved this universal fitness, and the souls that own their allegiance to it?
41280Now what guides conscience to good or to evil?
41280Or are they intrinsic, essential, independent of command, even of the Divine command?
41280Or, if it be not so, where else shall we look with the hope to find it?
41280Or, to state the question in other words, Is the truth of Christianity identical and conterminous with the literal truth of its record?
41280Our opening question then is: What is the ground of right?
41280Pilate asked the question, What is truth?
41280Reduced to its most general terms, is it any thing more or other than this?
41280Self- culture?
41280Should I run the risk of poisoning my child''s body by accepting as a gift a little better food than that I am able to buy?
41280Suppose one of the Scipios taken out of his tomb; and bring him into a Roman Catholic Church: do you think he will be very much astonished?
41280That this Theology of faith is to triumph over that of fear who can doubt?
41280The seeds no doubt were on the field; but who can say whether ever"a Sower went forth to sow"?
41280There is evil enough in the world; but what nation or age ever approved of it?
41280Was Christ exempt from that kind of moral discipline, that supreme proof of fidelity to God?
41280We should not hesitate, any more than they did, to call him Master and Lord; to say,"To whom else shall we go?
41280What better would there be for me than this-- what better constitution of a rational nature?
41280What but freedom, fidelity to rational principles and ideal justice, give it this strength?
41280What can look more like the field of a directing Will intent upon the good?
41280What did the Romans do?
41280What happened?
41280What is an organ?
41280What is insanity, but the wreck of this personality?
41280What is the faith of the fairly educated young men and women who are now springing up in America?
41280What is the meaning of"pontiff"?
41280What is the result?
41280What is the result?
41280What is to decide which it shall be?
41280What made this great change in his soul?
41280What must we do, we Protestants, in the presence of this fact?
41280What people ever praised selfishness, injustice, falsifying of speech or trust?
41280What then do all the Christian sects and parties, of every name, hold in common, and never differ about?
41280What were the especial traits of character of the Romans?
41280What, then, shall be said of the language which appears to express that opinion?
41280When does culture or art in him attain to the highest?
41280When it gets there and falls to work, what does it help us to account for?
41280Who can exhaust, who can add to, the real force and attraction and fulness of those truths and promises?
41280Who else has ever had a true_ authority_ to place before us a more perfect idea, or to tell us more exactly what the Gospel is?
41280Why are certain acts right, and certain other acts wrong?
41280Why are they called in that way?
41280Why did he prefer the way of renunciation and self- sacrifice to the possession of the kingdoms of the world?
41280Why have republican institutions in New York almost proved a failure?
41280Why preserve that which we value not?
41280Why shall not the kingdom be given up immediately to the Father?
41280Why should his followers be ready to suffer social persecution, if his aim tended in the direction regarded with social favor?
41280Why should we allow ourselves to be beguiled by fables and false hopes and make- believes?
41280Why were a few robbers able to take possession of the city, and plunder the citizens?
41280Why?
41280Will any one, whose opinion is worth listening to, say that it does?
41280Will not our confidence in those representations be impaired by this view of their contents?
41280You believe, perhaps, that the shape of a Roman Catholic Church at Rome will astonish a pagan?
41280You may have said in listening to me thus far,"What need of insisting so much upon self- regard, which we all perfectly well understand?"
41280and what did he expect as the result of his movement?
41280he asks; and"what did the fox do next?"
41280or of the call to follow his graces and copy his perfections into our own hearts and lives?
41280or only science more so?
41280prayer a childish impulse, which clear- seeing manhood must put away?
41280so clearly, plainly stated as to preclude the differences just alluded to, as to what it_ is_ that has been revealed?
41280that they hold the Christian faith in the Father in Heaven, with all that this involves of love to God and love to man?
41280that they hold the same common faith as to the presence and the providence of God, the future life and the judgment to come?
41280what does he do?
34637Our fathers-- they were giants, were they? 34637 What do you tell of that for?"
34637What has Pythagoras to do with the price of cotton? 34637 What of that?"
34637***** But now how can we change this, and get the idea of freedom into men''s minds?
34637***** But then comes the other question, What is the best use to be made of the day; the use most conducive to the highest interests of mankind?
34637***** Do men of the next world look in upon this?
34637***** How can we make the Sunday yet more valuable?
34637***** Shall we know our friends again?
34637***** Shall we remember the deeds of the former life; this man that he picked rags out of the mud in the streets, and another that he ruled nations?
34637***** What is this future life?
34637And what does Massachusetts do?
34637And would not all this extend the bounds of slavery?
34637Are the present opinions respecting the origin, nature, and original design of that institution just and true?
34637Are they present with us, conscious of our deeds or thoughts?
34637Are you getting less in the qualities of a man?
34637But if he adopted his old plan, what should we say of him?
34637But is it likely that all the old tragedies will be enacted again?
34637But is it only soldiers that we need?

34637But what is it in 1848?
34637But what is the South most noted for abroad?
34637But what shall the free soil party do next?
34637But what shall we say as the dust returns?
34637But when the American Revolution begun, who, in England, had ever heard of John Hancock, President of the Congress?
34637But where is the Adamitic man; the type and representative of his race, who makes actual its idea?
34637But where is the soul all this time, between our death- day and our day of rising?
34637But who shall speak it worthily?
34637But you will ask, Why does not a minister demand piety in its natural form?
34637But, continued the inquirer, is not this a good one-- To seek"The greatest good of the greatest number?"
34637Can life in heaven do it?
34637Can the Almighty deceive his children?

34637Do I err in estimating the number at one hundred and fifty?
34637Do men tell you,"This is a degenerate age,"and"Religion is dying out?"
34637Do the voters always know what they are about when they choose them?
34637Do those men who control the politics of New England not like it?
34637Do you ask the sects to engage in the work of extirpating concrete wrong?
34637Do you get poor in your souls?
34637Do you not reach out your arms for heaven, for immortality, and feel you can not die?
34637Do you tell me that culprit''s mother loves her son more than God can love him?
34637Does a mortal mother desert her son, wicked, corrupt and loathsome though he be?

34637Her husband objects, saying,"Wherefore wilt thou go to him to- day?
34637How did mankind come by this opinion?
34637How long would intemperance continue, and pauperism, in Boston; how long slavery in this land?
34637How long would men complain of a dead body of divinity and a dead church, and a ministry that was dead?
34637How much more does the body hinder us from seeing?
34637How shall we bring them to the task?
34637I ask If you will?
34637I would ask the worst of mothers, Did you forsake your child because he went astray, and mocked your word?
34637If Light can thus deceive, wherefore not Life?"
34637If my soul is to claim the body again, which shall it be, the body I was born into, or that I died out of?
34637If there were a true, manly piety in this town, in due proportion to our numbers, wealth, and enterprise, how long would the vices of this city last?
34637In 1830, when the French expelled the despotic king who encumbered their throne, what said Massachusetts, what said New England, in honor of the deed?

34637In a word, who is it that in seventy years has made the nation great, rich, and famous for her ideas and their success all over the world?
34637In your youth was the Sunday a welcome day; a genial day; or only wearisome and sour?
34637Is God to be partial in granting the favors of another life?
34637Is it Christian in us by statute to interdict them from their recreation?
34637Is it always to be so?
34637Is it too much to hope all this?
34637Is that superiority of gift solely for the man''s own sake?
34637Is the age wanting in piety, which makes such efforts as these?
34637Is the man in arrears with virtue, having long practised wickedness and become insolvent?
34637Is the present mode of observing it the most profitable that can be devised?
34637Is this difference of any practical importance at the present moment?
34637It is no merit to die; shall we tell lies about him because he is dead?
34637Mr. President, is one of these anti- slavery?

34637Must it not be so there, and we be with our real friends?
34637Must it not be so there?
34637No grain of dust gets lost from off this dusty globe; and shall God lose a man from off this sphere of souls?

34637Said the king,"Do you tell me I lie?"
34637Samuel Adams, and John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, and all the other men, what did the world know of them?

34637Shall not the prayers of all Christian hearts go up with them on that day, a great deep prayer for their success?
34637Shall the American nation go on in this work, or pause, turn off, fall, and perish?
34637Shall we conclude these are never to obtain development and do their work?
34637Should a great man have known better?
34637So at the last, which body shall claim my soul, for the ten had her?
34637So the age asks of all institutions their right to be: What right has the government to existence?

34637Somebody once asked him, What are the recognized principles of politics?
34637The Sunday is ended and over; the man is tired-- but has he been profited and made better thereby?

34637When death has dusted off this body from me, who will dream for me the new powers I shall possess?
34637When power fled off from the Church--"Wilt thou also go away?"

34688If so likewise, Shall John Doe suffer the punishment of death?

34688It is a great question, comprising many smaller ones:--Shall we extend and foster Slavery, or shall we extend and foster Freedom?
34688It may give an imperfect answer to the question, What is absolutely right?
34688It represents nothing more; how could it while the ablest men have gone off to politics or trade?
34688Not know this-- forget it?

34573how should you feel towards such?
34573is that the body of men who a year or two ago went forth, so full of valor and of rum?
34573nay, which is not an obstacle in the path of all manly reform?
34573says one;"And my son?"
34573screams a woman whom anguish makes respectable spite of her filth and ignorance;--"And our father, where is he?"

34573then why shall not the poor man, hungry and cold, say,"My purse however bounded,"and seize on all he can get?

34573what are they doing in the nation?
34573what of that fleet which crowds across the Atlantic sea, trading with east and west and north and south?
34573what of your Indiamen, deep freighted with oriental wealth?
34573what of your coasting vessels, doubling the headlands all the way from the St. John''s to the Nueces?
34573what of your whale ships in the Pacific?
34573what shall the parents do to mend their dull boy, or their wicked one?

18578WHAT DO YOU GIVE IN PLACE OF WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY?
18578A writer in the New York Times?
18578ARE THERE ANY CREEDS WHICH IT IS WICKED FOR US TO QUESTION?
18578ARE THERE ANY CREEDS WHICH IT IS WICKED FOR US TO QUESTION?
18578All sweet, beautiful, noble; but, if nobody from the beginning of the world had ever advanced beyond mothers''ideas where should we be to- day?
18578An Infinite Power, then, an eternal Power, shall I say an intelligent Power?
18578And I have had persons say to me:"I have been ill all my life, I have suffered no end of pain and trouble: I wonder why?
18578And I replied, Do you not think that God is almost as good as you are?
18578And are these things the most important ones, the ones that we need to feel solid under our feet?
18578And do you not see that in every case it has nothing whatever to do with the mother''s moral goodness or spiritual cultivation?
18578And has this evolution of the religious life of the world threatened the stability of truth?
18578And he takes his place in the long line of the world''s redeemers, those who have wrought atonement, how?
18578And how shall we know whether it is right or wrong?
18578And how was the majority reached?
18578And then what?
18578And truth for us, what is that?
18578And what did they put him to death for?
18578And what was Dr. Briggs tried for?
18578And why does he do this?
18578And why?
18578And why?
18578And yet, if these people that do not want any changes made had had control of the world ten thousand years ago, where should we be to- day?
18578And, after two thousand years of that kind of effort, what is the result?
18578And, if I had my choice of the future, what would it be?
18578Anything like evidence?
18578Anything like quiet brooding of those who supposed they were, under the influence of the Holy Ghost, receiving divine and sacred truth?
18578Are not these men in their degree worshippers?
18578Are there any great spiritual problems waiting for those questions to be settled?
18578Are there no prayers for other lines?
18578Are there some things that doubt can not touch?
18578Are these antiquated ideas?
18578Are these great human contests about nothing at all?
18578Are they a gospel?
18578Are we going to lose the sense of righteousness which is the very heart of religion?
18578Are we going to wait for criticism to settle metaphysical problems before we do anything about these great practical matters?
18578Are we losing our hope of the future?
18578Are we made in his likeness?
18578Are we not under the highest of all obligations to decide for ourselves one way or the other as to whether these claims are valid?
18578Are we sure that a man is educated merely because he knows a lot of things or has been through a particular course of study?
18578Are you sorry?
18578As a result of this Renaissance, what happened?
18578As we wake up, assuming nothing, and look abroad, what do we find?
18578As you look over the animal world, which one of them are we accustomed to think of as coming the nearest to man?
18578Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall what?
18578But do you not see by what subtle and divine chemistry the selfishness is straightway transformed, lifted up, glorified, and becomes unselfishness?
18578But has doubt quenched the light of any star?
18578But has the great hope gone?
18578But his companion said, Are you not astonished at the Capitol of Washington?
18578But how is it supposed to work out the atonement that is necessary, in order that man may be saved?
18578But is that a correct use of language?
18578But is there any rational ground for hope still?
18578But what does living mean?
18578Can I illustrate it?
18578Can both be right?
18578Can we accept that to- day as a definition of a rational view of the relation in which we stand to God?
18578Can we believe such things to- day?
18578Can we call it an integral part of a gospel?
18578Can we have the old ideas about him?
18578Can we with gladness proclaim them to men?
18578Can you conceive of a sane person making such a choice as that?
18578Could we proclaim it with any heart of courage as a part of the gospel of God?
18578Death?
18578Did it ever occur to you that it began when men began to doubt?
18578Did they even claim to have?
18578Did those who proposed that this particular clause or that should enter into it have any proof of their belief?
18578Do I make, then, an extraordinary claim when I say that we are the Evangelical Church, that the church which preaches the gospel is here?
18578Do people believe them?
18578Do we find something else, some other condition of mind, when we come to study carefully the Old Testament?
18578Do we need to go very deeply into human life to discover the profound truth of that saying?
18578Do you believe that God has made this universe so that it is healthier for the masses to live on a lie than it is for them to live on the truth?
18578Do you change the laws of motion?
18578Do you know what it is?
18578Do you know what the trouble was at the time of the French Revolution?
18578Do you know why it works as it does?
18578Do you not see how this admiration transformed the life of the young king, and made him after the type of that which he admired?
18578Do you not see how, in both cases here, it is purely a matter of convention?
18578Do you not see right in there the parallel to the old idea that used to dominate us in regard to the government of the universe?
18578Do you not see that I am talking nonsense?
18578Do you not see that as a truth- seeker in a free world he may not be educated at all?
18578Do you not see that theory may be of immense practical importance in certain contingencies?
18578Do you not see what a necessary corollary would be a belief in their ultimate prosperity and triumph?
18578Do you not see, however, that this so- called education may stand squarely in the way?
18578Do you remember the story of the unjust judge?
18578Do you see the suggestion of the picture?
18578Do you think there is going to be a poorer religion than there has been in the past?
18578Do you think there was no one on that ship that prayed?
18578Does anybody wish something put in the place of this?
18578Does he exert any pressure from outside?
18578Does he fence it in?
18578Does it ever occur to you that commerce is something besides a means for the accumulation of wealth?
18578Does it make any difference how we live these lives of ours?
18578Does it make any difference now whether the farmer has correct ideas about soil and seed and cultivation?
18578Does it make any difference whether he has any true conception of the nature and work of the sunshine in producing this crop?
18578Does it make any difference whether they are doing the right thing for it or not?
18578Does it make no difference what we believe about them?
18578Does it touch the living or the welfare of the world?
18578Does that mean that it ends there?
18578For what does the choice of evil mean?
18578For what is it that we preach?
18578Frankly accepted the truth?
18578Go back to the time of Jesus: do you not remember how the people asked whether any of the scribes or the Pharisees believed on him?
18578Had they considered Darwin''s arguments to find out whether they were true?
18578Has Unitarianism ever taken away any faith or hope or trust from the world?
18578Has anybody ever done it?
18578Has doubt taken away from the glory of the universe?
18578Has doubt touched that, so that it has shrivelled and become as nothing?
18578Has it taken him away from us?
18578Has no one ever prayed on behalf of a ship that did meet with an accident?
18578Has not Jesus told us that your heavenly Father is more ready to give the things which you need than you are to give good gifts to your children?
18578Have I any business to say I have faith that it was written by him, and let it rest there?
18578Have I changed natural laws any?
18578Have we lost the Bible?
18578He begins, we say, to live; and what does that mean?
18578He is not as perfect as an animal; but what has evolution done?
18578Her child is spared, spared for what?
18578Here among the lower animals were what?
18578How can a church prove that its declarations are infallible?
18578How can one follow the absolutely Perfect except afar off?
18578How can we find his words?
18578How did he get over the difficulty?
18578How do I know?
18578How does he succeed here?
18578How does it grow as the world grows?
18578How else should we look at things except from the point of view of men, since we are men?
18578How is it ever going to find the truth?
18578How is it that you produce results anywhere?
18578How long had Comte been dead before we discovered the spectroscope?
18578How long is it going to last?
18578How long?
18578How many men are there that take possession of the intellectual realm that lies around them on every hand?
18578How many men can you get fairly to consider the political position of his opponent?
18578How many men have even a conception of the wonders of the microscopic world?
18578How many of us have risen to the idea of making these grand sentiments the ruling principles of our lives?
18578How many people are there to- day who look with an unprejudiced eye upon a foreigner?
18578How many people can you get fairly to weigh the position of one who occupies a religious home different from their own?
18578How many people think of the torture of the curb bit, of the check, of neglect in the case of cold, of thirst, of hunger?
18578How many people who do leave one church for another do it as the result of any earnest study, or real endeavor to find the truth?
18578How much do the grasses and the flowers have to say to him?
18578How much of all this marvellous realm, or even a suggestion of it, is revealed to the ordinary man as he walks through the field?
18578How much of it is held even by those who, being scholars and thinkers, still hold their allegiance to the old- time theology?
18578How much of that old theory is intact to- day?
18578How would it be possible for one generation to make a little advance on that which preceded it, so that we could speak of the progress of mankind?
18578I break a law of my spiritual nature; does nothing take place as the result of it?
18578I break some law of my affectional nature; is nothing to happen?
18578I break some law of my body; do I escape the result?
18578I break some law of my mind; do I escape the result?
18578I could not think of him as an example to follow; for how can one take the Infinite for an example?
18578I have heard women say, I have tried to be a good mother: why is my child taken away from me?
18578I intimated a moment ago?
18578I want you to note that unity?
18578I wonder why I am treated so?
18578I wondered, Could the chancellor of a great University possibly be ignorant of the facts?
18578IS LIFE A PROBATION ENDED BY DEATH?
18578If all of us were to accept opinions in this sort of fashion, and never put them behind us or make any change, where would the growth of the world be?
18578If an Infinite Power is against me in my efforts to do good, what is the use of my making the effort?
18578If he can not save them, then why should I beg him to do it?
18578If he can, and loves them better than I do, again, why should I plead with him after that fashion to do it?
18578If he knew it was absolutely necessary for us to hold certain ideas about the Bible, ought not he to have told us?
18578If it is true, in the economy of the divine government, that human souls could be saved in no other way, is that good news?
18578If it made no difference whether a man worshipped God intelligently or according to the things Luther thought all wrong, what was the difference?
18578If not, why, then, are these looked upon as the grandest figures since the world began?
18578If so, why are we so foolish as to admire him?
18578If the universe is bad all through, essentially bad, where did he get his moral ideal in the light of which to judge and condemn it?
18578If there are good reasons for holding it, instead of calling names, why not show us the reasons?
18578If they do accept it, then what?
18578If this is not true, ought he not to have told us something about it, and made it perfectly clear?
18578If we hold that theory, what?
18578If we pit ourselves against one of God''s eternal truths, is that truth going to suffer?
18578If you can not say any more than this, here is all that is absolutely necessary to the very noblest life:"Hath man no second life?
18578If, for example, Jesus knew he was God, ought not he to have told it so plainly that no honest man could go astray about it?
18578In the place of the little, petty universe of Hebrew dream, what have we now?
18578In what sense and to what extent do they belong to him?
18578Intellectually, is there any other object of education than to fit a man to find the truth?
18578Is he personal?
18578Is it conceivable that a sane person should intelligently choose evil, unless he had some inherited bias or tendency in that direction?
18578Is it good news?
18578Is it good news?
18578Is it not absurd to talk about their having anything whatever to do with each other?
18578Is it not just this?
18578Is it not perfectly natural you should?
18578Is it not perfectly plain?
18578Is it not the dog?
18578Is it quite honest?
18578Is it sincere?
18578Is it something we would like to believe?
18578Is it true that God is Spirit, and that he is Father of his children, also spirit?
18578Is it wise for us to put ourselves in this attitude?
18578Is it wise for us to put ourselves into such a position that it shall seem criminal and evil for us to accept it?
18578Is it?
18578Is not that the process?
18578Is not this true in every department of human life?
18578Is that the kind of God you worship?
18578Is that your confidence in God?
18578Is there any loss here?
18578Is there any loss here?
18578Is there any loss in this exchange?
18578Is there any need of atonement?
18578Is there any need of atonement?
18578Is there any proof that they knew anything about it?
18578Is there any truth involved?
18578Is there any way of proving it?
18578Is there anything of value taken away?
18578Is there community of nature between him and us?
18578Is there no reason for us to consider it here in this latter part of the nineteenth century?
18578Is there no"punishment"in this deprivation of the highest and finest things that we can conceive of?
18578Is there significance in them, any purpose, any plan, any outcome, to make it worth while for us to struggle and strive?
18578Is this a dead question?
18578Is this quite honest?
18578Is this the way you maintain your credit as business men?
18578Is this the way you use language in Wall Street, in your banks and your stores?
18578Is this way of looking at it confined to primitive man, confined to pagan nations?
18578Is this, if it be true, good news?
18578Is worship, then, so far as external form is concerned, to pass away?
18578It is our business simply to raise the question, and try to answer it or ourselves, Which way must I go to follow the truth?
18578It was earnestly, verily believed; and the doctrine is still taught every time that a new edition of the Presbyterian Confession of Faith?
18578It will broaden itself naturally, if we can not accept that theory of it, into the further question, What is the main end and purpose of our life?
18578Jesus the great atoning sacrifice?
18578MY subject this morning is an attempted answer to the question,"Is Life a Probation ended by Death?"
18578MY theme is the answer to the question, What do you give in place of what you take away?
18578Man wakes up here on this planet what sort of a being?
18578May we then feel that modern doubt does not touch our belief in God?
18578Must I say nothing about it because, possibly, I may not have discovered just what is true?
18578Must he keep still about that because, forsooth, he was not able to establish another theory of the universe in its place?
18578Now do we find any difference in teaching in the New Testament?
18578Now has this young boy come into possession of these things?
18578Now to raise one moment the question suggested near the opening, Are forms of worship to pass away?
18578Now what are the facts?
18578Now what are the theories of atonement as outlined in the popular theology?
18578Now what are the three principles out of which Unitarianism is born?
18578Now what do we mean by education?
18578Now what was the condition of popular belief?
18578Now would you be willing to be turned into a pig, merely because, being a pig, you would not know anything about it, and would not suffer?
18578Now, when Christianity comes into the world, what shall we say?
18578Now, when man appeared, what happened?
18578On what, then, shall we base any one of these"infallible"creeds?
18578Out of that Power, as I have said, we have come; and who are we?
18578Perhaps; but, then, why are we foolish enough to honor him?
18578Rather shall we not beat ourselves to pieces against God''s adamant?
18578Shall I lie for the glory of God, the supposed honor of God?
18578Shall we call a Power like this God?
18578Shall we call it Force?
18578Shall we call it Law?
18578Shall we call it Nature?
18578Shall we escape these things by going into other churches?
18578Should we not be Unitarians?
18578Sits there no Judge in heaven our sin to see?
18578So that prayer which is worship, is it not altogether fitting and sweet and true?
18578Suppose, again, that God writes a book, an infallible book, and gives it to whom?
18578THE REAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PRESENT RELIGIOUS DISCUSSION DOUBT AND FAITH- BOTH IS LIFE A PROBATION ENDED BY DEATH?
18578Take, for example, the one question, Is man lost or is he not?
18578The mob surrounds his house, murders him and his child, wounds other members of the family, burns down his home; and why?
18578The name Catholic?
18578The old prophet says, What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with God?
18578The one life reacheth onward still; As yet no eye may see The far- off fact, man''s dream fulfill?
18578The one thing he lives for, cares for, thinks of, labors after, is what?
18578The unity of God?
18578Then what?
18578They are not suffering anything Is it nothing to become swinish, merely because you have your beautiful pen to live in?
18578They say, Now, Job, why not confess, why not own up as to what you have been doing?
18578This would hardly seem possible, would it, if Jesus had made himself perfectly clear and explicit in regard to these matters?
18578To how many men do the star have anything to say at night?
18578UNITARIANISM"WHAT DO YOU IN PLACE OF WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY?"
18578WHERE IS THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH?
18578WHERE IS THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH?
18578WHY ARE NOT ALL EDUCATED PEOPLE UNITARIANS?
18578WHY HAVE UNITARIANS NO CREED?
18578WHY HAVE UNITARIANS NO CREED?
18578Was Christ a man like us?
18578Was he a fool?
18578Was he contending about airy nothings without local habitation or a name?
18578Was he contending for nothing?
18578Was he justified in telling the truth about Calvinism because he has not a ready- made scheme to substitute for it?
18578Was it written by the apostle John, who lay in the bosom of Jesus, and was called the beloved disciple?
18578Was this the essential thing in the gospel of Christ?
18578We have changed our conception of him; but have we lost God?
18578We need to know this; and what do the investigation and the doubt and the struggle of the world say to us concerning these?
18578We preach the inevitable results of law- breaking, are they to last one year, five, a hundred, a thousand, a million, ten millions?
18578We say they belong to him; but do they belong to him?
18578Were both of them right?
18578Were the people really enemies of God?
18578Were they contending for nothing at all?
18578Were they enemies of religion?
18578Were they enemies of truth?
18578Were they grand, noble?
18578What are the relations in which we stand to- day towards Spain?
18578What are the things of which we are sure?
18578What are the things that are in question?
18578What are they?
18578What are we going to do about it?
18578What are we here for?
18578What are we losing, then, as the result of this growth of the world in accordance with the law of evolution?
18578What did Jesus think and say about them?
18578What did he do it for?
18578What did that mean to the world?
18578What did we have a Civil War for, wasting billions of money and hundreds of thousands of lives?
18578What difference does it make?
18578What do I mean by that?
18578What do we mean by coming into a knowledge of God?
18578What do we need?
18578What do you find in the Bible?
18578What do you give in place of that which you take away?
18578What does a human education mean?
18578What does atonement mean?
18578What does atonement mean?
18578What does he need?
18578What does he want?
18578What does it mean?
18578What does it mean?
18578What does it mean?
18578What does that mean?
18578What follows from this?
18578What has been the result?
18578What has been the result?
18578What has doubt, what has investigation, done concerning the universe of which we are a part?
18578What has this spirit done concerning Jesus?
18578What have I done that I must be burdened and afflicted after this fashion?"
18578What have we discovered?
18578What is God''s method of keeping a system like this solar one of ours together?
18578What is conscience, then?
18578What is faith?
18578What is human life, then?
18578What is involved that is of any importance?
18578What is it for?
18578What is it that keeps man from God?
18578What is it that keeps man from God?
18578What is our God to- day?
18578What is sin, as science looks at it and treats it?
18578What is the difficulty in the mind of the intelligent, modern thinker when he faces this conception of prayer?
18578What is the use of all this investigating?
18578What is the use of criticism?
18578What is the use of paying any attention to the theological or religious opinions of a man who avows an attitude like that?
18578What is the use?
18578What is to be its outcome?
18578What means all this intense activity of the scientific world?
18578What of it?
18578What one do we love to have most with us, to associate most with our joys, with the peace of our homes?
18578What right had he to choose for you?
18578What shall we try to do?
18578What was characteristic of those ages?
18578What was he contending about, and why does the world bow down to him with reverence and honor?
18578What was that old conception?
18578What was that?
18578What was the Renaissance?
18578What was the Renaissance?
18578What was the use of troubling about it?
18578What would you think of it?
18578What, then, is the meaning of life?
18578Whatever good is in us, Whatever good we see, And every high endeavor, Are they not all from Thee?
18578When I was first struggling out into the light?
18578When was that formed?
18578When we come up to the level of man, what do we find?
18578Where did this modern civilization of ours begin?
18578Where did this wondrous dream come from?
18578Where do they claim to get the authority for these old beliefs?
18578Where shall I begin?
18578Which is true?
18578Which of them shall we accept?
18578Who are the sheep, and who are the goats?
18578Who are they?
18578Who can tell me what a particle of matter is?
