Excerpt from Present Day Theology

These lectures took the place of the regular Midweek Service in our church, beginning early in January, 1913. The first lecture was given in the Chapel, but its capacity was taxed, and the remaining lectures were heard by audiences which comfortably filled our church auditorium. Such an attendance, on a week-day evening, is an indication that people are not averse to theological discussion. I am sure that no scientific, literary, or sociological themes which I could have offered, would have drawn half so large an audience.

This ground has been gone over more than once, in this pulpit; two volumes, - "Burning Questions," and "How Much is Left of the Old Doctrines?" - are both made up of Sunday evening lectures on theological questions, and it was therefore somewhat difficult to find fresh material; but circumstances seemed to warrant a re-statement of the central truths of our religion, and it was gratifying to see that they have not lost their hold on the human heart.

The lectures were, of course, intended for our own congregation, but as many of the other churches were closed, a large number of the members of other congregations were present at most of them. The interest manifested by these has led to this publication.
