Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Palestine Notes: And Other Papers In the volume of Essays and Addresses by John Wilhelm Rowntree already published, it was sought to make accessible, and to hand on to others, the thoughts which best represent the main purpose of his life. The introductory sketch, or preface, described this purpose and its growth, as far as possible in his own words. Young as he was when the end came, keenly as he enjoyed life, greatly as he delighted in art and in beauty wherever he found them, his words were weighted with his own experience when he called to his comrades - "´gather the rosebuds while ye may,´ but gather them not for mere selfish enjoyment. Such roses turn to ashes, they have neither the bloom, nor the sweet scent of the roses which grow in the garden of eternal love. There is no freshness of dew upon them." And so in a thoroughly manly fashion, he sought to turn the world´s gardens into gardens of the Lord. He placed character before intellect, and the awakening of the soul first. He was keenly alive to the difficulties, to some minds more especially, in the acceptance of the historical Christ, but he had found for himself "a living bridge which links us to the past," and that "the personal knowledge of God as revealed in Christ, convicting us of selfishness, searching out our sin, destroying in its pure flame the dross of our lower nature, is an experience which banishes doubt, and demands no explanation." He longed exceedingly to see the simple, practical, true-hearted life of Christianity, as set forth in the New Testament, become a mighty power in the land; and for this he spent his life fearlessly and joyously.
