Excerpt from The Great Affirmations of Religion: An Introduction to Real Religion, Not for Beginners but for Beginners Again This volume has been published in answer to the wish of persons to whom its contents were spoken. The chapters were preached in the course of my work as the minister of the Church of All Souls, and were reported as spoken. As a result of this method, there is a certain directness of appeal which is foreign to the demand of a care fully elaborated style; but the addresses have been left in the form in which they were given in ex temporaneous discourse, in the hope that Whatever the diction may lose in finish might be compen sated by those qualities which appear when a man, in earnest concerning the real experiences of life, reads the pages of his mind in direct speech With his fellows.

Not illustrated. 1898 edition. Excerpt: ...a little camp they had half a mile away on the plain. They were as compliant as paupers are apt to be, and we were as interested as those always are who have something that another wants.

It was a very stiff bow not more than two and one half feet long, with a thong for a spring and a rather harmless arrow to be used upon the string.

I was fervent, and he was "effectual fervent." Probably he put no more pounds of pressure on the string than I. Some such idea is in the declaration, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much!" Now the old design of prayer is held to be irrational.
