Description:A carefully planned set of four books reaches completion in the present volume. In the progressive development of idea IT CAN BE DONE stresses inspiration, FACING FORWARD devotes itself to courage, SILVER LININGS sings of hope and cheer, and now THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD strikes the loftiest notes of all--faith and consolation.As the capstone of the series, this volume has of course the distinctive features of the earlier compilations. It gives the essential data bout authors. It precedes each poem with some hint of mood or theme, or with introductory comment. . . . It includes compositions from standard writers as well as those humbler pieces which so powerfully appeal to the heart of the masses. . . . It avoids the phraseology which to many people is suggestive of cant, intolerance, or out worn conceptions, and employs simple, unprofessional language. It steers clear of doctrine and denominationalism, and endeavors to find grounds upon which earnest men of all races and opinions may stand in common--gratitude, faith, sacrifice, love, helpfulness, service. Though definitely Christian, it breaks no lance with those who see Jesus as merely the great teacher who left us a transcendent body of ethics. It expresses firm belief in a hereafter, without attempting to explain the mysteries, forms, or details of future existence. It steadfastly cleaves to the idea of a beneficent and intelligently directing Godhood, holds faith in God more reasonable than acceptance of a world with no supreme mind behind it, and maintains that divinity is revealed in the beauty of nature, the majesty and immensity of the universe, the "immortal longings" within human hearts, and the lives which throughout history our noblest have lived on a spiritual plane.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
