Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Religion and the Modern Mind and Other Essays in Modernism
The essays sewed together in this little volume were delivered on very various occasions. One of them was occasioned by a visitation of certain colleges and universities I was authorized to make as Billings Lecturer for the American Unitarian Association. One or two others were used in the first instance as chapel talks before our students in the theological school, and afterwards printed here and there. The essay on prayer was given in substance as a vesper address before two or three colleges and universities here in the West. The gist of another was used in such places as the University of Wisconsin and Ohio State Uni verity, where I have had occasional engagements. The essay on Life Everlasting was originally de livered as the Channing Hall address in Boston. And so on. It doesn't matter much what the precise history of these following papers has been. As they now stand they are much revised; and, I dare say, anyway, they have been mostly forgotten by those who may have heard or read them in their original form.
