Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Human Body a Volume of Divine Revelations: Governed by Laws of God's Ordaining, Equally With the Planetary System, or Those Written on "Tables of Stones" Or in the Bible
This twentieth century is the golden age of opulence; it is the brilliant and marvelous age of electricity. The world has had its stone age, and bronze and iron an'd silver; but this is the greatest of them all, for now is the full burst of mechanical marvels and electrical wonders. The evolutions of this age along all lines, prospectively, will do more to harmonize science and religion, than any that have preceded it. Electrical science is giving us glimpses at least as to how the world could be made out of nothing; not nothing in fact - but nothing that can be taken cognizance of by our physical senses, which nothingness has been the bone of contention between science and religion from time immemorial. How much of absolute nothing it would take to make the smallest conceivable particle of something, has puzzled the minds of men of all ages. The Radio Energy, philosophy, ofiers a plausible solution. The champion of Electricity comes to the front with a ?ag of truce and calls for a suspension of hostilities between Science and Religion, and says: Come, let us reason together and see if the Radio energy, philosophy, will not settle the dispute.
The ruling sentiment of this age of marvels is, Ring out the old, Ring in the new; Ring out the false, Ring in the true.
The present age is one of new thought, new activities, innovations, etc. These new occasions point to new duties. Time makes and demands changes. The problems of the nineteenth century must be solved by forceful thinkers, men who dare to think for themselves, not by those who are governed by the shibboleths of the ancients. Everyone is looking for strong new thought in every line. The time has been, in the not' distant past, when anything that was not Anglo Saxon had not the ghost of a chance for recognition. The sur vival of the fittest was the ruling sentiment. Our art, our literature, our religion, our philosophy, our manners, our customs, our medical institutions, it was assumed, were the whole thing. There was no room for improve ment. It was a plausible theory, but from the pleasant dream we have been rudely awakened by Oriental students, as occasion offered, who pointed out the claims of the Orient to recognition, as also having models of civilization worthy the attention of idealists of all nations.
