Excerpt from Christ in Modern Life: Sermons Preached in St. James's Chapel, York Street, St. James's Square, London In writing one is often deceived by half-memories one remembers the thoughts but not whence they have been derived and I have found since this book went to press that in two places at least I am indebted for my words to other men-to Neander's Life of Julian, ' in a passage in Sermon 1v., on the civilising influence of Christianity, and to Fichte's Vocation of Man, ' in Sermon XIV., for a portion of the argument from our consciousness of Will and its results to the existence of a self-active reason and a living Will.' With much of Fichte's philosophy I disagree, but beyond, or rather within his philosophy there is teaching both on life, morality, and religion, which makes him more worth the reading of persons troubled by the great spiritual questions than any other of the German philosophers.
