The Issues of Life (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Issues of Life

Deriving from our religion the help that it is able to give us. To fancy therefore that we have outgrown and exhausted Christ is a vain imagination, especially if we compare His sanity and His gigantic moral strength with the bloodthirsty or the puer ile substitutes proposed by men who have rejected His counsels of love and service.

Excerpt from The Issues of Life

The general purpose and scope of this volume are contained in its title - The Issues of Life. In it I have tried once more to apply the principles of the Christian Religion to the physical, moral and spiritual needs of men.
