Item description from seller

Please note: this sermon is *not* reprinted in the Rev. Fritchman's posthumous collection of sermons and addresses entitled "For the Sake of Clarity." Offered is the text of a Sermon entitled "The Need of Living Two Lives" given on November 25, 1956 by the Rev. Stephen H. Fritchman and published in print form in that year by the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles. A mimeographed publication, as issued, measuring 8-1/2" by 11" and containing four pages of text. From his Sermon, reading in short part, "John Dewey, the philosopher, often emphasized the fact that thought which does not ultimately guide action is incomplete. It is a tremendous idea and has affected our personal and public life for the better in this past half century. But Mr. [Lewis] Mumford is correct when he points out that the opposite truth is equally true and important: action that does not in turn lead to reflection is even more gravely incomplete" - "For one person who is so completely lost in reverie or abstract thought that he forfeits his capacity to act, there are a hundred so closely committed to action or routine that they have lost the capacity for rational insight and contemplative reconstruction, and have thereby lost the power of re-forming their lives or finding self-direction. This is the tragedy of which I speak this morning - the man who lives but one life - the life of outward action and routine." Folded once, as issued. The REVEREND STEPHEN H. [HOLE] FRITCHMAN (1902-1981), author, liberal humanist, and social and antiwar activist, was the minister of the progressive First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, California, from 1948 to 1969.
