Book Description
Excerpt from Progress in Spiritual Knowledge Mr. Giles once referred to these early days in remarks made in the Argyle Square church in London, and said that from his earliest recollection he had desired to be a minister, but the idea seemed so improbable and absurd that he said little of it. His father once spoke to him of a Situation as a clerk in a store, but he declined it because he did not want to be a merchant. A little later than this, when he was at home on a vacation from Bennington, where he was attending the academy, his father asked him what he intended to do for a living when he had finished school. The young man What do you want me to do His father said, I would like to have you study law. After a few moments' silence he replied, with a look full of happiness and satisfaction, Well, if I study law, it must be the law of God. This deter mination did not leave him, though for many years its realization was deferred till he was led to those doc trines of light and comfort which the Lord desired him to preach.

Book Description
Excerpt from Progress in Spiritual Knowledge It is beautiful, when in the peaceful days at the close of a long and useful life the thoughts look back over the way which has been travelled, delighting to see the hand of Providence in events which at the time seemed unimportant and often unfortunate; and when they turn from such memory of the past to anticipation of renewed life in the higher world where the same Divine hand will be more plainly felt and followed with more perfect trust. So it was with the Rev. Chauncey Giles, who passed into the spiritual world at his home in Philadelphia, November 6, 1893. Mr. Giles's earliest memories took him back to the hills of western Massachusetts, where he was born, in Charlemont, on the banks of the Deerfield River, on the 11th of May, 1813. The region is picturesque, and to one who visits it in summer is most attractive; but the hills are rocky for the plough, and farming, the business of the people, is laborious. The winters, too, are long and cold, and for months the ground is buried in snow and the river is frozen with clear ice, often several feet in thickness.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Spiritual Outlook: A Survey of the Religious Life of Our Time as Related to Progress The high importance of the subjects here treated and the serious endeavor to deal with them candidly, albeit very briefly, may entitle these pages to the respectful attention of those who love Truth more than favorite systems, and who believe that at the heart of all systems are influences which have the promise and potency of some real blessing for mankind. The prevailing tone of the work is sympathetic and Optimistic, although there is no flinching from the task of severe criticism where it is honestly thought to be required. The author believes thoroughly in both the intellectual and the moral helpfulness of perfect frankness, when conjoined with knowledge, justice, and absolute sincerity.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Spiritual Life: Studies in the Science of Religion This question is already being raised, and it is bound to be asked more and more often and in louder and louder tones. It is no Sign of enmity toward the Church or of coldness toward Christianity, but rather an incident of the expanding spirituality of men who find in Jesus the final meaning of life, and in evan gelical Christianity the essential germ of future te ligious progress. This germ demands to be under stood. It is necessary to perceive that the problems here suggested do not concern matters of mere tem porary expediency. They go to the bottom of life they concern the very essence of religion, of reli gious forces, and of the mind in which religion lives and through which it works for the healing of the nations. If this be true there is not a ray of reasonable hope for the solution of these prob lems unless in some way - either by a happy hit of uninstructed zeal or else by definite knowledge of the psychical factors involved - we manage to put ourselves into line with the mind of man as it is.

Book Description
Excerpt from Manual for Interior Souls: A Collection of Unpublished Writings This book of Pere Grou is the work of a master of the spiritual life who speaks in a clear and decisive manner, as only those can who are thoroughly acquainted with their subject. But it should be understood by those who read it that it is not in tended for beginners, but for such as have made some sort of progress in a knowledge of the spiritual life. For much that he says is put so tersely that those whose knowledge of the subject is not within measur able relativity to that of the writer may easily miss the full sense of his words, and thus be led to look on some parts and passages as unreal or unmeaning, or at least exaggerated.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Alchemy of Happiness Knowledge of self is the key to the knowledge of God, according to the saying He Who knows himself knows God, 1 and, as it is written in the Koran, We will show them Our signs in the world and in themselves; that the truth may be manifest to them. Now nothing is nearer to thee than. Thyself, and. If thou knowest not thyself how canst thou know anything else If tho'u sayest I know myself, meaning thy outward shape, body, face, limbs, and so forth, such knowledge can never be a key to the knowledge of God. Nor, if thy knowledge as to that which is within only extends so far, that when thou art hungry thou eatest, and when thou art angry thou attackest some one, wilt thou progress any further in this path, for the beasts are thy partners in this. But real self-knowledge consists in knowing the. Following things; What art thou in' thyself, and from whence hast thou come? Whither 1 Traditional saying of Muhammad.
