Old Truths In A New Light Or An Earnest Endeavour To Reconcile Material Science With Spiritual Science And With Scripture Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The New Light on the Old Truth A company of thirty men met recently in the library of one of their number on six consecutive Monday evenings and invited me to address them on the modifications of religious faith resulting from the investigations of scientists and the researches of critics. They were men of affairs, most of them manufacturers, all of them prominent in business or professional life. For an hour I talked on the great themes of the spirit; then for an hour, often for an hour and a half, there were questions and discussion. The city in which these discourses were given is one of the busiest and most prosperous in New England. That men of large responsibilities volunteered to give an evening a week to consider religious topics is an indication of a deeper note in our American life. The addresses were delivered extemporaneously and have been written out from memory, with only slight modifications and additions.
