Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Golden Rule: Inaugural Lecture Delivered Before the University of Pennsylvania November Eighteenth, 1900 Gratefully appreciating the peculiar honor done me by the Provost and Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania in inviting me to deliver the introductory address in the Lectureship in Christian Ethics, it is appropriate that in this inaugural address I should outline the purpose, the range, and the spirit of the Lectureship, and the qualification for the Lecturer. I. Purpose of the Lectureship. - And, first, the Purpose of the Lectureship. This purpose is not to trace the history of the various ethical theories; this is already admirably done in our own noble University. Nor is it the purpose to teach theology, whether natural, Biblical, or ecclesiastical. But the purpose of this Lectureship is to teach Christian Ethics; that is to say, the practical application of the precepts and behaviour of Jesus Christ to everyday life. And this is the greatest of the sciences. It is a great thing to known astronomy; for it is science of mighty orbs, stupendous distances, majestic adjustments in time and space. It is a great thing to know biology; for it is the science of living organisms - of stating, growth, health, movements, life itself. It is a great thing to know law; for it is the science of legislation, government, equity, civilization. It is a great thing to know philosophy; for it is the science of men and things.
