Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Apt and Meet: Counsels to Candidates, for Holy Orders at the Church Divinity of the Pacific It was the voice of a true Seer that said when asked, What is the greatest danger of the century? "I have no doubt what is the greatest danger - it is the absence of high aspirations." This was an estimate made in the first week of the first year of the twentieth century by one who singularly combined in himself the powers of the historian and the statesman, with the experience of a man of affairs over the Diocese which probably best of all samples the stir of the modern world, the Diocese of London. It was too his death-bed conviction, uttered, as it proved, at the end of his signal episcopate. The judgment is especially valuable because he knew so well the comparison with other centuries, like the thirteenth which he cited, and had so full and exact insight into the conditions of the century which was dawning. Bishop Creighton´s own principle for meeting such conditions is well proven in his life, in what he called "Goethe´s doctrine of Entsagung," For our present use his own working formula is happily and pointedly expressed in one of his letters.
