This book is sent forth in the midst of an intellectual conflict involving no less than the continued existence of any Christendom at all. Wearied with the clang of the opposing pleas, and noticing that disputes are seldom settled till their arguments are forgotten, Mr. Martineau thought his best offering to the needs of our time would be a volume in aid of personal religion. Partial Contents: Spirit of trust; Temptations of power; Limits of Divine and human forgiveness; Obedience and Communion; Way of Remembrance; In Him we live and move and have our being; Faith the deliverance from fear; Darkened heart; Christ the Divine word; Prayer of faith; Spiritual charity of Christendom; The Child that needs no conversion; Offering of art to worship; Transient and the real in life.
