Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Positive Note in Christianity: Lectures Delivered in the Memorial Baptist Church, Philadelphia, in Connection With the Celebration of Its Fiftieth Anniversary in the Fall and Winter of 1917
During all the while in the last fifty years. The present world war has been in the making, from schleswig-holstein to Sarajevo. In the imme diate event of the war the world saw Chris tianity on the defensive. Vast strata in the struc ture of the world's. Civilization have been shifted among the nations in this time. Empires have trembled in the fear of ruin; monarchs. Have grown pale at the stalking figure of world democ racy. The church itself, in the moments of the world's worst paroxysms, has been charged with failure and weakness and pathetic invalidism. Anxious care has all but corroded the heart of Christianity itself. And because men have waited for all the churches to speak out plainly and sound their trumpet blast, this series of addresses has been planned by this church after fifty years of continuous history to sound the positive note in Christianity.
