“‘A disposition to unfairness, bad faith, and evil speaking, is abroad in every field,’ says the author in his preface, ‘and a matter over which men do not contend at daggers drawn, is hard to find.’ To counteract this evil, the little book teaches the lesson of sweet reasonableness and Christian charity.” (Dial.) The contents include: The birth of righteousness; Dominion and voluntary service; Mine and thine; Science and faith; The love of country—Humanity; The churches—The church—Religious justice; Society and the individual social justice; The religious conception of work.
[*] “Fluent and apparently careful translation. These new chapters contain little that is essentially new to those familiar with the volumes that have preceded.”
