The Stuff of Manhood: Some Needed Notes in American Character
Speer, Robert E. (Robert Elliott)
Character; Christian life; Conduct of life; Moral education
As these lectures close I would press all this in the most earnest and
personal terms upon each one individually. The processes of social and
moral progress in humanity are retarded or broken down because they
are not carried on a volume of adequate spiritual life in men. There
ought to be a Kingdom of Living Love and Brotherly Will on the earth.
And some day there will be, but there is not now and there cannot be
until the anemia of man is healed, and it can be healed in only one
way――by more life in man, by life abounding in men. The commercial and
materialistic solution of the world’s problem has been fully tried.
For a generation it has been preached and practiced as the one saving
gospel and out of the depths to which it brought us we begin to turn
heavenward again. The day for a new creed has dawned――the old creed of
truth and hope and freedom and life, of the wealth and glory of a city
unseen as yet, hid in the heavens and only possible on the earth as
drawn down by men to whom the invisible things are the surest of all
realities and who live and are strong in God.

INSPIRATION FOR MEN
_ROBERT W. BOLWELL_
After College――What?
12mo, cloth, net 75c.
A protest, in the form of autobiographical chapters, against dawdling
through college. The author is sprightly and readable,――anything but
preachy――but does put some very wholesome and helpful facts in such
form as to grip the reader.
_HALFORD E. LUCCOCK_
Five-Minute Shop-Talks
12mo, cloth, net $1.00.
One of the best things of its kind yet issued. In each of these thirty
or more brief addresses, Mr. Luccock employs terse, epigrammatic
language and contrives to compress into a five-minute talk the wisdom
and counsel of a fifty-minute sermon. Every word is made to tell――to
tell something worth hearing and heeding.
_CHARLES CARROLL ALBERTSON_
Chapel Talks
A Collection of Sermons to College Students. 12mo, cloth, net $1.00.
Practical discourses on essential subjects delivered in various
colleges and universities, including Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth,
Princeton, Yale, and Virginia. No one of these sermons required more
than twenty-five minutes to deliver. They are characterized by earnest
argument, familiar illustrations and forceful appeal.
_CORTLANDT MYERS, D. D._
_Author of “Real Prayer,” “The Real Holy Spirit,” etc._
The Man Inside
A Study of One’s Self. By Minister at Tremont Temple, Boston. 12mo,
cloth, net 50c.
A four-fold study of the inner life of a man, in which the popular
pastor of Tremont Temple, discusses the forces that make him, lift him,
save him, and move him. The book is prepared in bright, interesting
fashion, and abundantly furnished with suitable and forceful
illustration.
