Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Spirituality, or the Spiritual Man
This little book is a plea for a unified life. It endeavors to analyze, to be sure, but only that some conception of the wholeness of the spiritual life may be seen back of its multiplicity of ex periences. The sermons were preached to that caravan of hearers which passes, on successive Stinday mornings, before the vision of a preacher in a great city. To teach a comprehensive doctrine under such circumstances is not easy. The demand is for some suggestive allusion, some illuminating phrase, some interpreting principle, that can be caught by the hearer as he passes. Elaborately reasoned truth does not ?ourish under such condi tions. In submitting the sermons to print the author calls attention to these conditions, hoping they will induce the reader to judge the sermons in the light of their first intent and production. The fate that now befalls them was not the incentive of their.
