Excerpt from The Three Hours Agony of Our Lord Jesus Christ: Given at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, New York, Good Friday, 1916 Very few words are needed to preface the publication of these sermons. Persuaded by friends that they would be welcome not only to those who heard them at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, New York City, on Good Friday, 1916, but also to that larger audience of devout souls who gather year by year around the Cross on that sorrowful day, the author now prints them in the hope that they will be of benefit to all who read them. The Good Friday Devotion, popularly known as the Three Hours' Agony, is becoming one of the most eagerly attended services of Holy Week. It consists of parts of the Psalms, hymns, and prayers, with nine discourses - an introductory sermon, seven sermons on the Seven Last Words, and a concluding sermon. The usual method followed in this country is that contained in the booklet: "Good Friday: The Three Hours' Agony," published by the Cathedral Library Association, of New York.

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer. Was the light infallible? Was the claim to it an assumption of spiritual exaltation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The First Evangelical Congregational Church: Cambridgeport, Mass This aspiration for unity is in strict conformity to the great desire of our Lord, as he contemplated his de parture from earth. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us. Christ agonized in that prayer, and this agony of prayer for this unity has been witnessed by the faithful in all ages of the Christian Church.

Excerpt from The Trials of the Church: Or, the Persecutors of Religion It is a considerable time since the thought of writing this work occurred to my mind. I do not know how the idea originated. It was not that I had acquired an extensive knowledge of the subject, and wished to communicate it to others. In fact I knew little or nothing about it at that date. I had not till then read anything on the sufferings of the martyrs. In a vague, general way, I was aware that they had suffered much, that they had been highly honored by religion, and had borne the most brilliant and convincing testimony to the divinity of the Christian religion. But beyond that, I had no definite ideas regarding their numbers, their endurance, their virtues. It was only when I began to examine the matter attentively that its importance and excellence became known to me. I then, for the first time, learned to appreciate the services rendered to religion by these admirable champions of truth. I saw and acknowledged the nobility and grandeur of their character. I saw that in order to be true children of God, modelled after the character of the Redeemer, the spirit, the heroism and self-sacrifice of the martyrs must adorn and ennoble our entire being.

Excerpt from The Church the Hope of the Future Every day brings home to us more directly and more poignantly the terrible price which our nation with our allies is paying for the maintenance of freedom and right. The question presses harder on us whether there can be any return great enough to compensate for so great a loss. There is but one thing that can reconcile us to the sacri fices which have been made. It is that the suffering should be the birth-pangs of a new and better world. If things are to go on in much the same way as before, if with energies exhausted and resources depleted and infinitely poorer by the loss of its bravest and best the world is to resume unchanged its former course, then of all tragedies that which we are now witnessing is the greatest. Never was blood so freely shed. The agony is greater than we thought we should ever live to see and feel. But the saddest thing of all would be that the suffering should be in vain. How could we bear the thought of the countless graves in Flanders and in France, and on many far-off shores, or of the brave lives which the sea has engulfed, if from this sacrifice there is to come no commensurate fruit '2 Those who have fallen gave their lives for the sake of freedom and of right between man and man. We who still live owe it to them to see that the price has not been paid for nought. Not by our own choice, but by the fact that our lives and possessions are still ours only because other men have died, we are dedicated to the task of making the world worthy of so measureless a sacrifice.
