Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Charter of the Church: Six Lectures on the Spiritual Principle of Nonconformity These discourses appear at a time when the eirenical element in them is severely strained by the clerical demand for a new church-rate in the shape of increased public subsidy to Church schools. And an effort toward some understanding of our own spiritual foundation is not unlikely to be submerged in the just irritation thus created. A time of political warfare is not the hour when men´s minds readily turn to consider either their own first principles or the enemy´s real affinities with themselves. The writer himself would have found it much more difficult to maintain the tone he has here striven to keep if the discourses had not been written before the new Education conflict became acute. And he cannot complain if some minds should find it hard for the present to fit themselves to a charitable and dispassionate treatment of the chief issue. In a crisis it is not our first duty to understand the enemy with careful sympathy. That is but a second duty at such a time; and it must not be allowed to interfere with the first, which is to beat him and make ourselves understood.
