Word, Work,& Will: Collected Papers

Excerpt from Word, Work,& Will: Collected Papers

Signs are not wanting of a coming reaction against the overweening pretensions of mechanical and material philosophy. To hasten that reaction by some complete work would be a noble aspiration but the Author must be content with a slighter effort, with a few scattered remarks and suggestions. But the reaction will come. God, that infused into man a spirit, con scious, aspiring, law-abiding, devout, will not leave him to grovel in the dust, and to deny the possession of that precious heritage and sacred trust. This belief has prompted many of the later pages of this volume.
