Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Universal Elements of the Christian Religion: An Attempt to Interpret Contemporary Religious Conditions
Religious conditions. Our Lord is reported, in the Third Gospel, as saying When ye see a cloud rising in the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it cometh to pass. And when ye see a south wind blowing, ye say, There will be a scorching heat; and it cometh to pass. Ye know how to interpret the face of the earth and the heaven; but how is it that ye know not how to interpret this time? The effort to understand one's own time is commended by Christ. It also commends itself to the reason and the con science. To live is a privilege and an opportunity, measured by the sincerity of one's desire to know the will of God and to lend oneself to the advancement of His.
