Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Contemporary Pulpit It is a new law we have discovered; it is a new force that is in the world, a new power that is set free. Our ignorance, our "darkness is passing away, and the true light is beginning to shine." Can we wonder, then, when we turn from the physical to the moral world, the same truth holds good? Jesus Christ stands on the crest of the ages, and looks up and down time! He stands as the proclaimer of a truth which was going to revolutionize the world, but still He can say, "No new commandment give I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning." It was there, lurking deep down among you all; it was running quietly among the roots of your philosophy; it was buried at the bottom of your hearts. And yet it was new; who can deny it was new? There was a new force in the world when Christ had lived, and died, and risen; a new force which kept throwing up hospitals, freeing children from palria potestas, crushing out unnameable vice, modifying and at last suppressing the calamity of slavery, flinging its cloak round the little ones exposed at the Lactarian column, and giving a day of rest to the workers of the world. It was new, for moral darkness was passing away, and the true light was beginning to shine. But our paradox carries us farther than this. It is not only true that new knowledge is often only a discovery of old truth, but surely it is also true that not infrequently progress in the world´s best life is only made by the re-discovery of old knowledge. What are we doing in sculpture, except trying to discover how to reach the perfect outline of the Greeks?
