Item description from seller

S. 161 - 192 sowie viele Anzeigen; ca. 15 x 12 cm; fadengeheftete Broschur. Gutes Exemplar; etwas wellig; leichte Gebrauchs. u- Lagerspuren; Seiten stw. nachgedunkelt. - Englisch. - " . The fate of liberal denominations is not to grow great and powerful, but to make other denominations more liberal. They lose themselves in the whole; the truth they stand for is merged in the mass; they tint all of society, just as a single drop of aniline will change the hue of an entire hogshead of water. There are more communicants of the Roman Catholic Church today than there were in the days of the Spanish Inquisition, or when John Eck laid traps with pious intent to take the life of Luther. But Luther did not live in vain; the blood of Huss, Wickliff, Ridley, Latimer, Bruno and Galileo was not spilt for naught; the protest they uttered was harkened to even by the Pope, and from their graves they cried out to Christendom and were heard. The dogma of the Catholic Church has not changed, but the Church today is a totally different thing from what it was in the days when Torquemada caused the gutters of Granada to run in clotted streams with the blood of Jews. / Oh yes, things have changed. / I think so! The truths that Copernicus uttered and for which he was silenced by the Church and condemned to lifelong exile are now taught in the schools of this Church that placed its anathema upon him. "Dogma never changes," but its interpretation does. That which was once arbitrary and technical has become poetical or spiritual, and things which were once regarded as facts now are but symbols, and mean many things to many minds. I should rather think so ! Only day before yesterday Ernst Haeckel, the world's chief infidel and scientist, peaceably planted a white mile-stone beneath the eaves of the Vatican so that the thinking world might see how far it had traveled. Yes, the world progresses. Not by revolutionary methods, but evolutionary-silent, sure as the budding plants that push the boulders out of their way so they may see the sun. " (S. 162/163) (Heart to Heart Talks with Philistines by the Pastor of his Flock) // Elbert Green Hubbard (* 19. Juni 1856 in Bloomington, McLean County, Illinois; 7. Mai 1915 im Atlantischen Ozean vor der irischen Küste) war ein amerikanischer Schriftsteller, Essayist, Philosoph und Verleger. Er war der Begründer des Roycroft Movement, eines amerikanischen Zweigs des aus England kommenden Arts and Crafts Movement. Außerdem war er freier Journalist, Kritiker und Verleger. Hubbard gründete 1895 die monatlich erscheinende Zeitschrift The Philistine (Der Spießbürger), für die er als Herausgeber und Schreiber tätig war. Im selben Jahr folgte Little Journeys (Kleine Reisen) und 1908 kam The Fra (Der Ordensbruder) hinzu. Alle drei Zeitschriften erschienen bis zu Hubbards Tod 1915. .
