Excerpt from Education Free From the Creeds Control of Priests and Churches: An Address Delivered at the Autumnal Meeting of the Congregational Union of England and Wales, Nottingham, on Tuesday, October 9th, 1888I deny myself the pleasure of taking up other questions which some of you might regard as of equal if not greater importance, and which might have excited more enthusiasm than the practical one which I propose to discuss.Strong is the temptation to deal with some of the social problems which are pressing for solu tion, not only in England and Ireland but in Europe and America, and to urge you and all the Christian Churches to bring the spirit, the life, and the teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ to bear, in more practical and effective ways, on problems affecting the relationships of rich and poor, capital and labour, landlords and tenants the causes and cure of poverty and crime, and the material and moral means of promoting amongst all classes temperance and purity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
