Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Problem of Religious Progress
My absence from home, for nearly five years on the Western frontiers, superintending the Indian schools of the United States, necessitated delay in meeting the request of friends for the revised edi tion now presented to the public.
The revision has been thorough, bringing the data down to the present year, and important addi tions have been made, including points of inquiry and discussion pertaining to the most recent phases of moral and social evolution. Questions relating to science and faith, the city perils, divorce, crime, lynchings, pauperism, intemperance, wages, the pur chasing power of money during the last fifty years, the anarchistic spirit and other kindred topics, have received such treatment as could be given them within the limits of this volume.

Excerpt from The Problem of Religious Progress
Prologue.
The outward rite, the old abuse,
The pious fraud transparent grown,
The good held captive in the use
Of wrong alone -
These wait their doom, from that great law
Which makes the past time serve to-day;
And fresher life the world shall draw
From their decay.
O backward-looking son of time!
The new is old, the old is new;
The cycle of a change sublime
Still sweeping through.
So wisely taught the Indian seer;
Destroying Seva, forming Brahm,
Who wake by turn Earth's love and fear,
Are one, the same.
Idly as thou, in that old day
Thou mournest, did thy sire repine;
So, in his time, thy child grown gray
Shall sigh for thine.
But life shall on and upward go;
The eternal step of Progress beats
To that great anthem, calm and slow,
Which God repeats.
Take heart! The waster builds again.
A charmed life old Goodness hath;
The tares may perish, but the grain
Is not for death.
God works in all things; all obey
His first propulsion from the night;
Wake thou and watch! the world is gray
With morning light.
