Excerpt from The Place of the Church in Evolution In the thought of these great movements there is something broadening and elevating which lifts us above the eddies and shifting currents of our day, which widens our vision, and gives worth and dignity to life. Here, if anywhere, we catch a glimpse of far-ofl' divine events, of goals and ends. We stand for a moment as on a mountain top far above the limitations and mists of the val ley of our daily plodding life. We are in a purer and fresher air. Where there is no broad Vision of great events, the people perish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
