Excerpt from Our Widening Thought of God
The address which follows was prepared for a special purpose and delivered in San Francisco, March 19, 1914. The occasion was planned in the interest of expanding views of certain main Christian truths, concerning which differences of opinion had disturbed the public mind. No less than fourteen hundred persons testified by their presence their alert interest in the themes presented. This address was one of three, the other topics being "The Changed View of the Bible" and "Christ from the Modern Point of View." The addresses were received most sympathetically and evoked many expressions of appreciation and gratitude. They were printed in response to an urgent call and circulated widely.
This address is now published in the hope that it may reach a still larger number of thoughtful readers who may be helped through confusion into clearness or cheered and sustained in their religious convictions. The author assumes to speak for no one but himself. There are, however, large and enlarging numbers within and without the churches who hold the interpretations here offered and find life deepened and enriched. These are not final conceptions. Spiritual experience will be granted yet wider horizons and profounder realities in the knowledge of God. Life is infinite and "the rapture of the forward view" is endless.
