PREFACEEveryone who has to do with children at the present day, directly orindirectly, must in some form or another have felt the difficulty ofinstructing them in the details of religious faith, without leaving themopen to the assaults of doubt hereafter,when they encounter the results of scientific inquiry.

Sometimes the old truths and the new truths seem to conflict; and thougheveryone must be aware that such internecine warfare between truths canbe an appearance only, the reconciliation is not easily perceived: noris the task simplified by the hostile attitude adopted towards eachother by some of the upholders of orthodox Christianity.It is sometimes said to be impossible for a teacher to educate a classsubject to compulsory attendance, in a spirit of weal-th, peace, andgodliness, without infringing the legitimate demands of somebody; butthe difficulty is caused chiefly by sectarian animosity, which may takea variety of forms.These religious and educational disputes would be of small consequence,and might even be stimulating to thought and fervour, were it not thatone danger is imminent:a danger lest the nation, in despair of ahappier settlement, should consent to a system of _compulsory_secularism; and forbid, in the public part of the curriculum ofelementary schools, not only any form of worship, but any mention of aSupreme Being, and any quotation from the literature left us by theSaints, Apostles, Prophets, of all ages.If so excentric a negation is brought about by the warfare ofdenominations, they will surely all regard it as a lamentable result.Meanwhile, in the hope and belief that the great bulk of the teachers ofthis country are eager and anxious to do their duty, and lead thechildren committed to their care along the ways of righteousness,beingdeterred therefrom in some cases only by the difficulty of following outtheir ideals amid the turmoil of voices, and in other cases by theiruncertainty of how far the old paths can still be pursued in the lightof modern knowledge,I have attempted the task of formulating thefundamentals, or substance,[1] of religious faith in terms of DivineImmanence,[2] in such a way as to assimilate sufficiently all theresults of existing knowledge, and still to be in harmony with theteachings of the poets and inspired writers of all ages. The statementis intended to deny nothing which can reasonably be held by any specificDenomination, and it seeks to affirm nothing but what is consistent withuniversal Christian experience.Our knowledge of the Christian religion is admittedly derived frominformation verbally communicated, and from documents; and, in theinterpretation of these sources, mistakes have been made. At one time,not long ago, it was the duty of serious students of all kinds to pointout some of these mistakes, wherever they ran counter to sense andknowledge. That cleaning and sweetening work has been done vigorously,and done well: at the present time comparatively little sweeping remainsto be done, save in holes and corners: most of the lost simplicity hasnow been found. A positive or constructive statement of religiousdoctrine, not indeed deduced from present knowledge, but in harmony withall that bears upon the subject, is now more useful. Such a statementmight be called New Light on Old Paths; for the old paths remain, andare more brightly illuminated than ever: even the old Genesis story ofmans early experience shines out as a brilliant inspiration. Truthalways grows in light and beauty the more it is uncovered.There are still people who endeavour to deny or disbelieve thediscoveries of science. They are setting themselves athwart the stream,and trying to stop its advance;they only succeed in stopping their own.They are good people, but unwise, and, moreover, untrustful. If they

will let go their anchorage, and sail on in a spirit of fearless faith,they will find an abundant reward, by attaining a deeper insight intothe Divine Nature, and a wider and brighter outlook over the destiny ofman.----Footnote 1:By Substance I understand that which exists in and by itself.(Spinoza.)Footnote 2:We may say much, yet not attain; and the sum of our words is, He isall. (Ecclesiasticus xliii. 27.)------------------------------------------------------------------------
