Excerpt from Order and Growth: As Involved in the Spiritual Constitution of Human Society This book consists in the main of the Hulsean Lectures delivered at Cambridge in the year 1890. If it has the good fortune to prove itself helpful to any readers, it will be, I believe, through the account which it gives of the nature of the Church, and of Justice. The ideas which I have endeavoured to expound on these subjects do not claim to be original, but they are not so familiar to Christians in general as - if I am right - they ought to be. And there must be many whom the current descriptions both of the Church and of Justice entirely fail to satisfy.
