Excerpt from National Defence: A Study in MilitarismWhen the war. Broke out conscription could not be avoided. We had committed ourselves to policies and expeditions which made every other method of raising the necessary troops a mere makeshift. If voluntaryism could have been saved, it was not by recruiting meetings which only hastened it to its end, but by a policy which at the outset would have defined in severely precise language our respo...

Excerpt from SocialismTO the ordinary man, not of the street but of the suburb, Socialism covers a multitude of sins. He does not understand what Socialism means - and probably does not want to understand. It occupies in the vocabulary of his intelligence a place with those abracadabra and mystic pass words which, when uttered, raise the seven devils. It is nothing but waste of time to explain new ideas to such people. They are the despair of ...

Excerpt from A Key to the Book of RevelationI wish here distinctly to state, what was intimated in the preface to the first edition, that this work was prepared not so much for learned theologians, as for the great mass of educated and thinking minds.

Excerpt from Socialism and Government, Vol. 2A critical examination of the various schemes proposed for increasing the accuracy Of the work of representative governments, and bringing them into more intimate touch with the national will, has resulted so far not only in the rejection of the proposals themselves, but in a dis agreement with the principles from which they issue.Behind most of these proposals lies a fallacious expectation that if ...

Excerpt from My Father's House, or the Heaven of the BibleThe author has carefully sought not to invade the reserve with which the Word of God surrounds this subject. Like the bounds which were set about Sinai in the wilderness, it was doubtless designed to protect the city of the living God, from irreverent approach, or from a tri¿ing and pro fane gaze. Moreover, probably all that we are able to bear now (john xvi. Has been revealed, and any ...

Excerpt from A Policy for the Labour PartyWhen it dawned upon the minds of a few political pioneers of whom George Odger was the chief, that the House of Commons should contain members drawn from the ranks of workmen, the very idea was denounced as the fatal introduction of class interest into an assembly whose representatives alleged that their minds were above class and were concerned alone with the general interests of the nation. Upon this...

Excerpt from The Government of IndiaThis book was written in all its substantial parts before the Government took steps to meet the conditions which the war had created in India. I venture to publish it, however, because it indicates a different point of view from that which appears to be animating the Government, though in some respects their practical proposals do not materially difier from mine, but also - and this is the chief reason - bec...

Excerpt from Some Reminiscences of a Twenty Years' Ministry in Princeton, N. JYou have not been accustomed to hear from me what are called minister's Anniversary-sermons. On one occasion only - it was in the Summer of 1862 - an attempt was made to sum up, and review, the work of the few preceding years. But, now, as a score of years have elapsed since I took charge of this pulpit, it would seem to be altogether proper to take some notice of Go...
