Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Making the Most of Life: The Fourth Series of Sermons Which Have Appeared in the New York Sunday Herald
The moment you persuade a man that his life is good for nothing you perform a disastrous miracle and as certainly rob him of energy as the shorn locks of Samson changed him from a giant to a pi'gmy.
A theory of religion which begins with depressing your ambition and your consciousness of power is sure to end by depriving you of the ability to live nobly. But the simple and fascinating and uplift ing religion of Christ, which constantly whispers, I will be with you unto the end of the world, and, Ye are of more value than many sparrows, and yet, Not even a sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father's notice, and, Come unto Me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest - that religion is the unclouded sunshine of every day and the glory of every starlit night. There is not only hope in it, but continual joy, and not only joy, but a mysterious something which paints a rainbow on your griefs and sings a song of triumph over the grave.
