Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Epoch in the Spiritual Life This volume contains the substance Of the first three addresses delivered before Troy Conference at Saratoga Springs, New York, in April, 1907. They have been expanded very much in order to treat the different sides of the subject which must be pre sented if it is discussed at all. These talks by special request were for exposition rather than exhortation; their aim was to give light rather than heat; to describe the higher Christian life in clear terms, if possible, and to help those who are hesitating, un certain, and confused about it. The purpose has been to set forth distinctly a definite experience or stage in the religious life; to move toward common ground on which many advocates of this life may agree; and also to present a method of research whereby more truth may be ascertained. A knowl edge Of this subject gained from many sermons and from works by different writers is assumed in the reader - as it existed in the hearers - and also of the Scripture passages usually quoted in support of cer tain positions. Accordingly, much that is common to treatises on this doctrine could be omitted, and a full and complete treatment of the Christian life has not been attempted.
