Présentation de l'éditeur
This volume is the outcome of studies ranging over a considerable space of years in which public opinion has changed many times concerning the subjects discussed in the various chapters. The prevailing note of the period in which we are living is one of social aspiration and communal happiness and well being. It is a noble and holy hope which longs to see righteousness among men and the Kingdom of God visibly ruling in the hearts and activities of men. There is little in the life of Americans nowadays which is not in some way tinctured with this desire. But like all such aspirations, the border line between rational growth and progress and fanatical rage, is not always observed, with the result that what begins by being a perfectly sound protest against onerous conditions and iniquitous principles eventuates often in a mere rage for change which not only is not rational, but defeats the very purposes for which the reform was originally begun, forgetting upon what it rests. I have endeavored in all cases to state the case for the reformers as vigorously and as clearly as they could or have stated it for themselves.
