Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of America: As Shown by Her Great Documents B istory, as usually understood, concerns 1 Hitself with material things, with events and dates. There is another and more vital His tory, - that of the Mind and Soul of a people. Records of the collective mind of a nation write the History of its Spirit. The birth and development of the Spirit of merica are clearly recorded in cer tain public documents. These records, contained in broadly accepted public documents and in speeches of individual men, have been the outspeaking of a true national voice, - the expression of the collective Spirit of a people. Casting out from the huge mass of public documents such as are of transitory interest or simply new statements of already accepted prin ciples, the list is not long. It will be well for our people if the same courage to search for and follow the Right is shown by the records in the next as it has been in the last three hundred years.

Book Synopsis The Spirit of America (Classic Reprint) by : Henry Van Dyke
Download or read book The Spirit of America (Classic Reprint) written by Henry Van Dyke and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of America This book contains the first seven of a series of twenty-six conferences, given in the winter of 1908-1909, on the Hyde Foundation, at the University of Paris, and repeated in part at other universities of France. They were delivered in English, and afterward translated into French and published under the title of Le Genie de l'Amerique. In making this American edition it has not seemed worth while to attempt to disguise the fact that these chapters were prepared as lectures to be given to a French audience, and that their purpose, in accordance with the generous design of the founder of the chair, was to promote an intelligent sympathy between France and the United States. If the book finds readers among my countrymen, I beg them, as they read, to remember its origin. Perhaps it may have an interest of its own, as a report, made in Paris, of the things that seem vital, significant, and creative in the life and character of the American people.

Their good deeds have furnished much of the materials for these pages, and may, as thus interpreted and related, serve to provoke others to holy services. May the writer of this book, if his words awaken friendship and sympathy, ask his readers to send him printed or written accounts of local movements kindred to those here described? Such accounts may be made to serve the public in some form and kindle zeal as well as suggest practicable method. Let the story tell of experiments which have been tried for at least one year. The world is already full of paper cities, not paved with gold, but with good intentions. Those who are putting on the armor should reserve their self-laudations till they have accomplished something, and then they will not need to blow their own trumpet. May we not all follow Dr. Hale's hints in "Ten Times One Is Ten" and become recruiting sergeants for Harry Wadsworth's club? "Over all the world, many a man and woman who had been talking prose all their lives, and doing very commonplace things, began to learn the great lessons, that it is in the long run much better to talk prose than to talk poetry, and that he who does commonplace things well may be mastering the world." - E.

Download or read book An Anxious Age written by Joseph Bottum and published by Image. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a profoundly spiritual age, but not in any good way. Huge swaths of American culture are driven by manic spiritual anxiety and relentless supernatural worry. Radicals and traditionalists, liberals and conservatives, together with politicians, artists, environmentalists, followers of food fads, and the chattering classes of television commentators: America is filled with people frantically seeking confirmation of their own essential goodness. We are a nation desperate to stand of the side of morality--to know that we are righteous and dwell in the light. In An Anxious Age, Joseph Bottum offers an account of modern America, presented as a morality tale formed by a collision of spiritual disturbances. And the cause, he claims, is the most significant and least noticed historical fact of the last fifty years: the collapse of the mainline Protestant churches that were the source of social consensus and cultural unity. Our dangerous spiritual anxieties, broken loose from the churches that once contained them, now madden everything in American life. Updating The Protestant Ethic and the Sprit of Capitalism, Max Weber's sociological classic, An Anxious Age undertakes two case studies of contemporary social classes adrift in a nation without the religious understandings that gave them meaning. Looking at the college-educated elite he calls "the Poster Children," Bottum sees the post-Protestant heirs of the old mainline Protestant domination of culture: dutiful descendants who claim the high social position of their Christian ancestors even while they reject their ancestors' Christianity. Turning to the Swallows of Capistrano, the Catholics formed by the pontificate of John Paul II, Bottum evaluates the early victories--and later defeats--of the attempt to substitute Catholicism for the dying mainline voice in public life. Sweeping across American intellectual and cultural history, An Anxious Age traces the course of national religion and warns about the strange angels and even stranger demons with which we now wrestle. Insightful and contrarian, wise and unexpected, An Anxious Age ranks among the great modern accounts of American culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Spirit: Addresses in War-Time Our pride is that America is playing a noble part in the life of the world. N ot a little, selfish, shrewd part, nor even a strong and ambitious part, but a high - minded, generous, a noble part. Our one fixed doctrine of international policy is founded in a fine chivalry, and all the resources of this conquered continent are the common property of all peoples. Indeed, it is not going beyond the truth to say that When we look deeply into the American heart we Will surely and always find a living and growing sense of trusteeship underlying our rights of possession. We see superficialities Which make for doubt sometimes. We swing off into eddies and by-currents and are led to believe that the main stream is a myth, that after all this is a world for getting, and getting any way one can, for doing and doing what at the time is profit able. But this is a humor of growth. The mood does not last. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Spirit of American Literature (Classic Reprint) written by John Macy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirit of American Literature The historian is subservient to an ideal of encyclopedic completeness and to traditional values. He rules literature OR in sections; into each school and period he puts the great men, and then stuffs the chinks with such as N. P. Willis and Margaret Fuller, who may have been admirable persons but omitted to make literature. Life is short, and art, even American art, is long and vital. It is perplexing to find in current manuals no mention of Father Tabb, but a full page about Anne Bradstreet; a chapter on Bryant, but only a page about Sidney Lanier; extended accounts Of Charles Brockden Brown and William Gilmore Simms, but only half a page about Mark Twain. To be sure, the historian avowedly and properly puts emphasis on writers who are dead in the flesh, and finishes off his contemporaries briefly because they are not yet established and are too numerous to mention; But it seems well, in books about literature, not to discuss writers admittedly dead in the spirit, whose names persist by the inertia of reputation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Work in America, Vol. 1 Please do not condemn this by saying it would be a purely physical demonstration of an exclusively spiritual problem. It would be in line with the way we here make known our spirit ual natures to each other; and the only available sort of way when persons are not in the immediate presence of each other. You might urge the difficulty of bringing a message that would be unmistakable. This is a real difficulty, but certain ly not an insurmountable one, under the hypothesis herein assumed. If it is possible to converse with the inhabitants of the Spiritual World as freely and as naturally as with those of the physical it is inconceivable that the identity of a spirit ual inhabitant could not be established, and an authentic message transmitted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sword of the Spirit: Britain and America in the Great War F the City Temple has been an international Shrine almost from the beginning of its history, it is doubly so to-day, not alone from the fact that its present Minister is an American citizen, but still more because of the reunion of English speaking peoples drawn together by a common peril and a common ideal. The call of an American preacher to so famous a pulpit was itself an overture of friend ship of good-will, and was so understood by men of all creeds in America; and in obedience to that spirit the Minister himself has been led to conceive of his responsibility in a two-fold aspect - as a Christian Ambassador and an Interpreter of one nation to another. But since these two great people are really one, having a common genius and a common historic inheritance, these two Offices are also one, since we can best understand each other in the Christian at mosphere, which is the spirit of fraternity.
