Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Relation of Christian Educators to the Modern Phases of Science Gentlemen of the Convocation. - In presenting you with a few thoughts in regard to the relation of the Christian educator to the modern problems of science, I must begin by saying that it is with much hesitation that I approach this subject, partly because it may seem, in some respects, a very hackneyed one, and partly from the great importance of the theme, and the consequent difficulty of dealing with it in any adequate manner. I am led to the attempt, however, partly because of that very importance which renders it so hard to treat aright, and partly because, two years ago, in this room and before this body, the gauntlet was openly thrown down to science, and has not yet been formally and fearlessly taken up. The whole subject seems divisible into three main parts, viz.: I. The fact of a long and lamentable controversy between Christian and scientific modes of thought. II. The causes and reasons of this controversy. III. The methods of its possible removal. To these three points, Mr. Chancellor and gentlemen, I would, therefore, request your attention. I. The fact of such controversy. We are certainly living in one of the most remarkable periods of the history of our world, - one which is marked by such vast, rapid and varied developments of human progress, in its best and noblest forms, as no other age has seen. This great advance, complex and manifold as it is, we are wont well to sum up under the name of Christian civilization. If we examine it, we shall find it to have in general a twofold aspect, moral and material, and to owe its wonderful character to this fact: it is the expansion of human knowledge, culture, intercourse, and invention, guided and directed by the divine influence of the Christian religion. It is Christianity and civilization, distinct in their nature as heaven and earth, but united in their action on society, that make this world all that it is to-day, and all that it can hope to become in the future.
