Excerpt from The New World-Religion
"Our Country," which appeared in 1886, was the first attempt to study our great national problems from the social as well as the religious point of view. "Our World" is, so far as I am aware, the first attempt to study the great world-problems of the new civilization from the same point of view.
The work is planned in four volumes. The first, issued in 1913, pointed out a new world-life with vitally important implications - a new world-industry, a new world-peace, and a new world-ideal, after which men are now groping. This new world-life and a statement of the new world-problems which grow out of it occupied the volume. No solution of these problems was there attempted, but only an analysis which showed their real nature and their imperative importance.
In the present volume the writer undertakes to show that the Christianity of Christ not only recognizes the new world-ideal after which men are now feeling, but defines, illuminates, and glorifies it; that Jesus, who always had the world-vision, laid down the world-principles by which alone the great world-problems can be solved and the new world-ideal realized. It is also shown that Institutional Christianity is now on trial, and that only as it grasps the world-significance of the teachings of Jesus and applies his principles to world-salvation can it hope to survive.
