Excerpt from Prophets of Yesterday and Their Message for to-Day The object of the founder of the Lectures is to continue the mission of William Belden Noble, whose supreme desire 1t was to extend the influence of Jesus af the way, the truth, and the life; to make known the meaning of the word Jesus, 'i am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.' In accordance with the large interpre tation of the Influence of Jesus by the late Phillips Brooks, with whose religious teaching he in whose memory the Lectures are established and also the founder of the Lectures were in deep sympathy, it is intended that the scope of the Lectures shall be as wide as the highest interests of humanity. With this end in View, the perfection of the spiritual man and the consecraizion by the spirit of Jesus of every de partment of human character, thought, and activity, the Lectures may include philosophy, literature, art, poetry, the natural sciences, political economy, sociology, ethics, history both civil and ecclesiastical, as well as theology and the more direct interests of the religious life. Beyond a sympathy with the pur pose of the Lectures, as thus defined, no restriction is placed upon the lecturer.
