Excerpt from The Modern Sphinx: And Some of Her Riddles
Time was when the publication of a book was supposed to be a bid for a permanent place in literature. The author was looked upon as entering the competitive examination for a position among the immortals.
But there are at least two reasons for either of which a man may publish. He may attempt to speak to the future, giving his thought thus the hoped-for permanency of print, or he may call the power of the printing-press to his aid in his endeavor to ad dress as large a contemporary audience as possible. Only very rarely may a modest man dare to hope that the future will remem ber his name. But, by serving the present to the best of his abil ity, he may enjoy the consciousness that he is doing his part toward making that future somewhat better than otherwise it would have been.
One more book, then, added to my already lengthened list only means that I am trying to preach. What I believe to be God's gospel of help and hope for man to as large an audience as both voice and type can reach.
The following chapters are ordinary Sunday-morning sermons, phonographically reported by Isabel C. Barrows.
