Chapter XII: Preface (12)

“The volume falls into the following divisions: (1) Introduction, setting forth the theme, the method, and the sources of information; (2) God, expounding his character, personality, goodness, love, holiness, wisdom and unity; (3) God and Men, in his relations as Creator, Father, Sovereign, moral Governor, Providence, Savior, Trinity, and in human life; (4) God and the Universe, wherein the commonly accepted attributes of God are treated, e. g., self-existent, eternal, infinite, omniscient; (5) Evidence, in which the author seeks to show the reasonableness of the Christian conception of God, as he has thus far interpreted it. The volume departs widely from the usual type of discussion of the doctrine of God in that Dr. Clarke eschews absolutely all metaphysical and philosophical questions and furnishes us instead a persuasive and winsome exposition of the religious content of the God-idea as held by the Christian church.”—Bib. World.

“An instructive book, full of clear thought and independent insight; but it is something better; it is a live book, dealing with realities and not with words merely, and relying for its appeal upon the assent of the reader’s own experience. Passing to the doctrine of freedom, one notes a certain lack of clearness in the definition of terms.” W: A. Brown.

“Perhaps the main lack in the book as a whole is its failure to bring out strongly the essentially social element in the Christian belief of God.

The author tells the story of his “own progress from the dim and unsatisfying light of a book mechanically inspired to the clearer vision which historical appreciation of the ancient records have made possible.... Dr. Clarke has made it possible for even a timid and hesitant inquirer, humble as to his own measures of knowledge and intellectual power, to acquire a modern, informed and reverent conception of the Bible without the paroxysms of a revolution, and it may be hoped that his gentle pages will fulfil this purpose for large numbers.”—Ind.

A physician’s story based upon the experiences of a neurasthene. It is told with the definite purpose “of removing, if possible, the sting and opprobrium which the essential neurasthene bears because of the long continued pose of the neurasthene who does not exhaust neuronic energy, but poisons it by his way of living.”

=Clegg, Thomas Bailey.=^{[8]} Joan of the hills. †$1.50. Lane.

A story of Australia which “concerns the fortunes of a very uninteresting and weak-kneed Englishman—a briefless barrister who has taken to the colonies and counter-jumping for the living the law failed to afford him. But it depends for its dramatic and romantic appeal upon a handsome Australian girl aided and abetted by a youngster, the weak-kneed person’s son, and for its special favor upon a sort of David Harum of the bush, a shrewd old Australian general storekeeper and money lender.”—N. Y. Times.

9–27263.

A humorous account of a celestial journey which, on account of thirty years of whirling thru space, ended at a gate millions of leagues from the one that usually admitted earth’s inhabitants. Stepping on the wishing carpet and wishing himself in the booking office of his own section the narrator speeds thru space and realizes that he is in the proper quarter when he hears some one shout out “A harp and a hymn-book, a pair of wings and halo, size 13, for Cap’n Eli Stormfield, of San Francisco!—make him out a clean bill of health and let him in.” The experiences that follow are above all else practical and quite out of the run of what is supposed to happen in an orthodox heaven.

In his well known jocular style, Mark Twain attempts to show that William Shakespeare could not have written the plays and poems attributed to him. By a similar process of reasoning it is claimed that Bacon and no other person living in Shakespeare’s time could have written them. Incidentally a good deal of Mark Twain’s life on the Mississippi is included.

A suggestive work by a leader in the movement for reform in American municipal accounting. Dr. Cleveland is connected with the New York city Bureau of municipal research and has had full opportunity to study the accounting system of that city. “As to the book as a whole, it may be noted that, while it takes up many phases of municipal administration, it centers for the most part in accounting and related problems. At the same time, the need for physical and other operative statistics, as well as accounting figures and conclusions, is always kept in mind by the author, and often forcibly presented.” (Engin.

A thoroly amusing tale in which the straitlaced father of a family of five children takes some sort of cell-renewing treatment which reverses the aging process and starts him back over the ground to youth. The story is concerned with his astonishing antics and capers, accompanied by leniency in place of the former harsh treatment of a son and daughter in relation to their love affairs. He is censored and thwarted by an imperious prig of a son who finally gives him his choice between the insane asylum and exile. The father chooses the latter only for the purpose of freedom in which to plan the obnoxious son’s downfall.

This portion of the report is therefore in the nature of a symposium, in which the opinions of the various contributors are reduced to the lowest terms....

Impressions, fairly-formed opinions and convictions concerning the “slow-moving, unchanging, confident” Englishman whose dullness is his safety and his success, and “out of whose root has grown an overshadowing national tree.” The author contrasts American and English ways, and avers that the Americans while in England do as the English do so far as their temperamental limitations permit. The chapters are: First impressions; Who are the English? The land of compromise; English home life; Are the English dull? Sport; Ireland; An English country town; Society.
