"Perhaps it might be said of many men, that they have no ideal. And this is their condemnation. They have no object in life; they have never reflected why they are alive. Their course is determined, not by their own choice, but by the blind forces of appetite within, and of conventionality without. Such may truly be said to be dead while they live; for surely in such a vast and perilous enterprise as the voyage of life, the first duty of every one who claims to be a man is to be aware where he is going." CONTENTS: Chapter I Wisdom Chapter II Courage Chapter III Temperance Chapter IV Justice Chapter V Faith Chapter VI Hope Chapter VII Love "Aristotle says, 'There is no such thing as love to God; it is absurd to speak of anything of the kind; for God is a unknowable being.' It is impossible to conceive words which could bring out more clearly the contrast between the circle of thought within which the ancient world moved, and that wherein those move who have obtained their notions of the universe from the Bible. "Even in the Old Testament God is a being who loves, and loves intensely: 'Like as a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him.' 'Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet will I not forget you!' 'Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, with loving kindness have I drawn you.' 'I will betroth you unto Me forever; yes, I will betroth you unto me in righteousness and in judgment and in loving kindness and in mercies; I will even betroth you unto me in faithfulness; and you shall know the Lord.' "In the New Testament the revelation of the love of God is carried much further, until it culminates in the incomparable saying, 'God is love.' "It is often said that any modern child acquainted with the rudiments of science stands on a far higher level than Aristotle, though he was the most scientific head in the ancient world, so far have the discoveries of modern times left the ancient world behind. "And it is just as true to say that any modern child acquainted with the Bible stands high above Aristotle in the knowledge of God. To Aristotle God was, according to the sage's own admission, an unknown being. But to those who have the Bible in their hands, He is a being known, living and infinitely loving; and this renders possible the budding of the noblest blossom of the heart -- the love of God. "Just as a human heart is born with the kinds of love already discussed -- love to parents, love to friends, love to children, and so on -- potential in it, waiting only for time and opportunity to burst and develop, so every heart is born with the capacity of loving God; and this must, in the nature of the case, be the highest and most influential of all such capabilities. "But the sunshine which opens the bud, causing the potentiality to become actuality -- is the love of God revealed and realized. So John explained its philosophy, 'We love Him -- because He first loved us.'"

Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII LOVE pROFESSOR DRUMMOND entitled his little book on love 'The Greatest Thing in the World/ and the vast circulation which it secured in every part of the globe proved how the suggestion had appealed to the general mind. But he was only following the hint given in the saying of St. Paul, 'The greatest of these is charity.' And St. Paul was only following in the wake of Jesus, who, when asked, 'Which is the greatest commandment in the law?' replied, 'Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.' The belief that love is the greatest thing in the world may be called a growing conviction; the more mature the mind of mankind becomes, the clearer is its verdict to this effect; and this is the judgment of those most entitled to express an opinion. Inferior minds have, indeed, different ideals; and in earlier ages other qualities were placed far before love. Thus, strength long had its worshippers, and it will always have them among the immature and unreflecting, who bow the knee to physical development and material resources. At a more advanced stage cleverness was considered the greatest thing in the world; and there are still multitudes who testify unbounded admiration for the intellectual force which can crush an adversary or the adroitness which can circumvent him. But, while the notoriety of the hour may rise loud round those distinguished for strength and cleverness, it is found, when the clamour subsides, that the abiding homage of the human heart can be given only to those who have served their circle or their generation with the ministry of love. 'Love never...
