Not illustrated. 1892 Excerpt: ...the seeker glimpses of God. AH the good books were written by the finger of the good God. Some people get closer to God by getting closer to their fellow-men. They do not believe that God is up above the clouds, nor that he is shut in by all the doors and windows of all the churches. They think that whoever wants to find God will find him quickest where he has set his image and breathed his breath, in the midst of the great family of his human children. The parish priest Of Austerlitz Climbed up in a high church-steeple To be nearer God, So that he might hand His word down to his people. And in sermon script He daily wrote What lie thought was sent from heaven, And he dropt this down On his peoples'' heads Two times one day in seven. In his age God said, ''Come down and die!'' And he cried out from the steeple, ''Where art thou, Lord?'' And the Lord replied, ''Down here among my people!'' Many who have learned that lesson hold that working is a better part of loving God than praying, that practicing is more acceptable to God than preaching, and that a man owes his supreme duty not to his own soul, but to the helping and the comforting of the soul of his less fortunate brother. They like to remember how Christ said, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me. And so they apply their minds to the solution of the vast problems of poverty, and pain, and sin. They account that the best of all truth in this present hour and place is economic truth. They are religiously interested in sanitation, in temperance, in socialism, in all manner of reform and betterment. And they think that they can show their love for God in no better fashion. They love God with their minds. It has perhaps occurred... George Hodges, Books, History, Christianity Between Sundays Books>History The book has no illustrations or index.
