Excerpt from Science and Faith This lecture upon Science and Faith, in which an attempt is made to deal upon general lines with difficulties arising out of the very general misconception as to the true nature and func tion of exact science, forms the first of the second series of Westminster Lectures delivered in the Cathedral Hall at Westminster in 1906. In dealing with such a misconception as is involved in the supposition that there are contradictions between the exact results Of Science and the dogma Of Revelation, a critical and an argumentative treatment is to a certain extent unavoidable. In accordance, however, with the plan of exposition adopted in these lectures, this treatment is emphasised as little as the nature of the subject will permit; and the positive and constructive element, at which the Westminster Lectures aim, is adopted in SO far as it is possible.

Excerpt from The Credentials of Science: The Warrant of Faith At the invitation of the union theological seminary of new york city, and delivered in the Adams Chapel of the Seminary during the early spring of 1887, the course of eight lectures closing on Easter Eve. The material was subsequently con siderably amplified, and delivered as a course of twelve lectures before the Lowell Institute of Bos ton, closing on Christmas Eve of the same year. The lectures have been printed as thus extended, although in some cases the limitations of a lecture hour compelled a division of subjects, which are here united under the same heading, thus reducing the number of chapters in the book to ten. The mo tive of the work is sufficiently indicated by its title, and requires no further introduction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Aspects of Religious and Scientific Thought: Selected From the Spectator Ment of worship, nor obviously effective in stimu lating devotion; and the proper place for such abridged statements of doctrine, even supposing them accurately to express the convictions of the existing generation of Churchmen (which can hardly be said of the present Creeds), would appear to be a manual of instruction rather than a formula of worship. Nothing certainly could warrant the introduction of any avowal into a devotional service, intended for men of many shades of belief, which gives the maximum of offence to those who do not hold it, and at the same time produces the minimum of devotional effect, but Mr. Sidgwiclc, in thus judging of the function and effect of recited creeds, and in describing them as being merely abridged statements of doctrine, ' misses entirely, as it seems to me, the mood of sentiment which originally caused their introduction into acts of worship, and the secret of the power they still exer cise. In fact, the very intellectual bewilderments and scepticisms which make men so reluctant to Sign creeds, and so anxious to Simplify them, lend an immeasurable depth of gratitude and even joy to the confession of the solid bases of fact, in which Chris tians find, as they conceive, the historical ground work of their faith. In precise proportion to the number of influences which threaten to undermine faith and which embarrass the dim and perilous way to it, whether these be, as in the world of martyrs, chiefly moral and only secondarily intel lectual, or as it may at least often be in our own day, chiefly intellectual, and only secondarily moral, in that proportion must be the rest of heart, and the glad sense of exercising a faculty Of Vision which only God's grace can bestow, while confessing.
