Excerpt from The Normal Training of the Child
At the genesis of our discussion a foreword of explanation is perhaps necessary and advisable.
In this busy, progressive, epoch-making age, that man is a dilettante, who either reads, writes or talks for the mere thought of discussion. We should be profoundly thankful that we are fast moving away from the thought of simply seeking truth for truth"s sake, studying art for art"s sake, or achieving progress for fame"s sake. It is now for life"s sake and man"s sake that we use the microscope and telescope, the scalpel of the surgeon, the atom of the scientist, the brush of the artist. Geology, astronomy, philosophy, psychology, as well as religion must bear a vital relation to man before they can perform their highest service in the working out of the eternal purpose. It is wise then to couple our dreaming with soldiering, our praying with planning, our worship with working.
Our purpose is not to rattle the dry bones of either a past or present theology.
