Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From the Thames to the Trosachs The Epworth league, aiming for the complete Christian character, recognizes the importance of intelligence when superadded to an earnest spiritual life. The man of God needs knowledge, and not only knowledge in the word of life, but in the world of thought. Therefore in the course of reading of the Epworth League it is proposed to have each year at least one book of general literature, such as will enlarge the mental range and promote intellectual effort. In the selection and arrangement of this book various reasons influenced the committee. It was thought that some work on foreign travel would prove interesting to the readers in the League, and would suggest valuable programmes for literary meetings. As it would not be possible to make a general tour, that land was chosen which is of all lands most closely connected with America, and to no Church is nearer than to our own, since in it lived our founder, who with Luther and St. Paul looms up in history as one of the three greatest men in the annals of Christianity. All that is best in England is the heritage of America. Her literature is our literature, for we may enjoy Chaucer´s tale and Shakespeare´s strain and Bunyan´s immortal dream and Browning´s "veined humanity." The heroes of her history are ours - for Alfred and Cromwell and Pitt all joined hands in the making of America. If there had been no Runnymede and Marston Moor there would have been no Plymouth Rock and no Bunker Hill. Every American has the deepest interest in that land, which has been the bulwark of liberty and the mother of a mighty nation.
