Book Description
Excerpt from Methodist Quarterly Review, 1881, Vol. 63 The Christian Church is growing richer in biography from age to age. It is a principle of the divine economy that the righteous shall be held in everlasting remembrance. While this is primarily true of the remembrance which God cherishes of his own, however little they may be thought of by an un sympathetic world, yet it also has its application to the Church, which delights to preserve the memory of her holy men and women. The Methodist Episcopal Church has always manifested a commendable interest in properly written memoirs of her de ceased Bishops. But, unfortunately, in several instances there has been either a lack of data attainable for the production of such memoirs, or a lack of interest or industry on the part of surviving friends in preparing them.

Book Description
Excerpt from Methodist Quarterly Review, Vol. 34: 1852 Still, the belief, fluctuating but indestructible, remains - that time, and change, and circumstance, and the potency of some novel scheme, or the influence of some cherished name, will end the long sorrow, and ultimately "lead up the golden year." The reasonableness of the anticipation, and the particular form which it assumes, vary necessarily with the condition of the age in which it is entertained, and the character of the relief or advancement which may be required; and, we may add, that seldom is the belief more sincere than when it is without adequate foundation. But the natural tendency, in its diverse manifestations, whether romantically looking for the resuscitation of King Arthur, or impelling the Mormons to the Valley of the Salt Lake, produces many false hopes, and leads to the acknowledgment of many as prophets and deliverers, who have no claim to such honour, or an inadequate one. But, with the tenacious hope of better days to come, with the anxiety for some stable faith as a refuge from perplexing difficulties and constant uncertainty in regard to things human or divine, and with the perverse attachment to error once embraced, especially if recommended by novelty - which are all so pre-eminently characteristic of the human family - the blind credulity of a hasty superstition adheres more tenaciously to its newly-discovered idol, than a well-founded belief adheres to an object of legitimate veneration. It is thus the part of prudence to dispel, if possible, the haze of an impending delusion before it has gathered into a settled atmosphere of cloud; and to challenge the mission and the revelation of an alleged prophet, whom it is proposed to recognise, before his authority becomes firmly established, and his dream is consolidated into an accepted creed. The last half-century has been singularly prolific of new schemes of philosophy- wide sweeping and universal in their pretensions; and in new projects of social reform, designed to remodel the whole framework of society, and to induct new and purer forms of organization over the ruins of all existing institutions. Genius, learning, ingenuity, and, we will add, self-sacrificing and sincere enthusiasm, have been displayed in the construction of these vast theories. We must lament the application of such earnest zeal and such splendid intellectual powers to the overthrow of Christianity as a necessary preliminary to the attainment of the ultimate aims. It remains for the future to disclose whether the originators of these devices have attained the highest flight to which the human intellect is destined to range in the current hundred years, or have yet "dissolved the riddle of the earth;" or whether they may not be still reserved for us a nobler, juster, and more comprehensive philosophy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Methodist Quarterly Review, 1872, Vol. 54 Force, energy, or power, whatever it may be, yields the cen tral conception out of which the questions referred to spring. It supplies a ground, and is a datum, required and used alike by the most materialistic among scientific workers and the most speculative. It is destined, as regards matters lying between physical and mental science, to be the ground of conciliation, perhaps of reconciliation. No reality occupies a more undis puted position than force. But few, if any, truths of its class are better established by all the might and main of science than its immateriality. It is not matter, and yet it has a real exist ence. It is no figment of the imagination. Besides this, in the principle of the persistence or conservation of force, is laid, so far as science can do it, the proof of its indestructibility. In the discussion which follows we may safely assume the substantial, independent reality of matter as against the Idealist. On the other hand, once grant the indestructible, immaterial something called force, and spirit can take care of itself. Im materia entities need he insisted on no longer. One is con ceded, and, so far as it seems susceptible of proof by the methods of physical science, it is proved. While the question more immediately before us is not the correlation and conservation of what are called physical and chemical forces, yet a brief historical re'sume' of the progress of research and opinion in this relation may prove useful. Whether to M. Seguiu, or Count Rumford, or Dr. J. P. Joule, or Mayer of Heilbronn, or to others, science is most indebted, or who should have the credit of priority in the discovery of the nature and relations of the physical forces, are questions upon which it is not necessary for us to enter. The discovery that may be fairly looked upon as introductory to the doctrine we are soon to state, was that announced by Count Rumford (professor Thomson) in a paper to the Royal Societyqf Great Britain in 1798. Up to that time heat had been regarded as a subtle or uid form of matter; but, as the result of rigorous experiments, he concluded it could not possibly be a material substance. He says, It appears to me to be difficult, if not impossible, to form any distinct idea of any thing capable of being excited or communicated in these experiments unless it be lemony - Introduction to Yaamans'a Correlation and Conservation of Forces, p. 33. Fifty years later Dr. J. P. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Methodist Quarterly Review, 1881, Vol. 63: Fourth Series, Volume XXXIII Several circumstances raise a suspicion of the, extreme age of this skull. The gravel in which it is found is a surface deposit covering the face of the country in some regions, and there fore a man of the present day might leave his skull in it. But it was found under one hundred and fifty feet of lava. True. And how long a period would it take a volcano to deposit that amount of lava? W'ithin the present century volcanoes have deposited as much as six hundred feet of lava in a single erup tion. The important question is not, how thick is the lava, but how long has it been in site The United States geological survey of the Territories, 1871, 1872, declares that the effusion of the basal is a modern event, occurring for the most part near the commencement of our present period, after the entire surface reached nearly, or quite, the present elevation. Volcanoes still exist in the Pacific region, and from recent signs at Pike's Peak and elsewhere it is not improbable that this generation may wit ness eruptions in many old craters whose fires have been sup posed extinct. Earthquakes are not uncommon in California, and the hot springs, which are numerous, are looked upon by geologists as the last of a series of volcanic events. So that the thickness of the lava above the Calaveras skull shows nothing but that the. Bones were deposited before any white man visited those regions. As for the gi'avelly matrix, any bones depos ited in the gravel where the warm waters of a geyser may per colate to them, will become incrusted with a gravelly matrix. All along the lllinois River bones, brickbats, and even bits of wood may be found cemented to the river pebbles by carbonate of lime.

Tradition tells us that the future cham pion of the Immaculate Conception of Mary called upon the mother of God to illuminate his mind, and that amid his tear ful struggles he fell asleep. The virgin mother appeared to him and promised the gift of learning on condition of his faithful service in her cause. This was the beginning of a new intellectual life.

Book Description
Excerpt from Methodist Quarterly Review, 1876, Vol. 28 of 58 In reading Livingstone's last book and comparing it with his two former works, "Missionary Researches," and the "Expedition to the Zambezi," one is struck with the tone of sadness that pervades the later volume. Its spirit is autumnal. The great discoverer of Lake Ngami, the Victoria Falls, Lakes Nyassa, Moero, Bangweolo and Kamolondo treads bravely on to the last, despite sickness, poverty, and African ignorance and perversity, "The first," says Waller, "to set foot on the shores of vast inland seas, and with the simple appliances of his bodily stature for a sounding pole, and his stalwart stride for a measuring tape, to lay down new rivers by the hundred," yet the cheerful elasticity of earlier years is gone, expended in toil and destroyed by disease in part: ingraved, in part, no doubt, with the partner of his youth and earlier missionary labors on the banks of the Shupanga. All through these "Last Journals," the reader discerns the veteran traveler's dominant passion, "to work while the day last," feeling that the afternoon shadows are lengthening, and that coming night sends forward its monitory chills.
