Dieses Leben ist ganz zerrüttet. Man weiß noch nicht einmal mehr, warum man dieses Leben lebt. Ein Leben ohne Ziel ist ohne Bedeutung. Man verdient Geld, genießt seine Mahlzeiten und sorgt sich den ganzen Tag lang. Wie kann dies das Ziel eines Lebens sein? Wie kann man verhindern, ein solch menschliches Leben nicht zu verschwenden? Nachdem man als Mensch geboren wurde, was sollte man tun, um das Ziel... more...

Las escrituras dicen que en este tiempo no es posible para nadie la liberación final directamente desde este mundo nuestro.

INTRODUCTION. 1. It was on Mr. Somers Clarke’s proposition that El Kab was selected for last winter’s work of the Research Account. Mr. Clarke has for some years been interested in this site, and has published some of the XVIIIth dynasty tombs there.

La gente discute sobre lo que es “mío” y lo que es “tuyo” en la religión. Para mantener tales disputas a raya está el Trimantra. Cuando uno comprende el significado fundamental del Trimantra (una oración auspiciosa), uno se dará cuenta de que no es un mantra de una religión en exc lusiva, o de una secta o división de una religión. Los saludos en el Trimantra son ofrecidos a todos los... more...

Eleven years ago my little book on the antiquities of English villages was published. Its object was to interest our rustic neighbours in their surroundings, to record the social life of the people at various times—their feasts and fairs, sports and pastimes, faiths and superstitions—and to describe the scenes which once took place in the fields and lanes they know so well. A friendly reviewer... more...

Foreword The Evangelization of the World is being accomplished more rapidly than we think. Three mighty movements are constantly at work—Reformation, Heathen Missions and Emigration or Colonization. By the Reformation Europe was evangelized; by Heathen Missions Asia and Africa are being evangelized and by Emigration or Colonization North and South America and Australia have been to a large extent... more...

Foreword Here comes the English Luther in his twelfth visit to your home. In peasant boots, decorated by no star of worldliness nor even by the cross of churchliness, but by the Book from heaven pressed to his heart in a firm attitude of earnest prayer, he comes as the man of prayer and of the one Book, a familiar friend, to help you to live the simple Christian life. This volume of twenty-four... more...

FOREWORD. The object of this book is to suggest certain lines of thought as to the deep truths underlying Christianity, truths generally overlooked, and only too often denied. The generous wish to share with all what is precious, to spread broadcast priceless truths, to shut out none from the illumination of true knowledge, has resulted in a zeal without discretion that has vulgarised Christianity, and... more...

I. INTRODUCTION. [DECEMBER, 1874] If the author of Supernatural Religion [Footnote 1:1] designed, by withholding his name, to stimulate public curiosity and thus to extend the circulation of his work, he has certainly not been disappointed in his hope. When the rumour once got abroad, that it proceeded from the pen of a learned and venerable prelate, the success of the book was secured. For this rumour... more...

CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE How is it that ye sought Me? Wist ye not that I must be in My Father's house?—LUKE ii. 49 (Revised Version). The Bible story from which the text is taken has been illustrated by a famous picture. The artist is Mr. Holman Hunt, who has painted many pictures on Bible subjects, and has spent many years in Palestine in connection with his work. His painting of "The Finding... more...
