Excerpt from Christ's Challenge to Man's Spirit, in This World Crisis: Advent Addresses at the Cathedral, of St. John the Divine, New YorkThese addresses were delivered in course at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York, on the Sunday afternoons in Advent, 1917. Their general subject is the essential spirituality of human life, in contrast to the materialistic aspect which in these trying times our life has seemed to wear. Like many others, the preacher has heard above the tumult of world-war a distinct challenge of Jesus Christ our Lord to the spirit that is in man, and these addresses are a faithful endeavor to declare the message that has been thus vouchsafed.Everybody is aware by now that this is a dangerous world, but it is more and more evident that the chief danger is not to men's bodies, but to their minds and souls. At the front plain soldiers have learned this where the appearances were most to the contrary. On the battle-field bodily harm is for the moment comparatively unimportant: what matters most is the spirit, and the body must be kept fit so as to secure presence of mind, and some have found their souls more liberated than ever, realizing that the point of death is a point of life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
