Character-Building: Sermons and Poems (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Character-Building: Sermons and Poems

Let us try to set these great thoughts in relation to our actual lives, and to the language and ideas of our own time. Then we shall see that the thought of the apostle is a reaching out toward the highest and most satisfying truths which we think the special message of this century.

All things are yours. Already, centuries before, the Psalmist, in a sublime flight of faith, declared that God has given to man, being little lower than the angels, a dominion over all the works of his hands. But many centuries have passed, centuries of art and science and discovery, and still man's do minion over the earth is not completely realized. It never will be. Wonderful as may be the future achievements of civilization, we may be sure there will always be new inventions, new experiments.
