Excerpt from Christian Pedagogy The chapters contained within these covers defend and state and restate this maxim. In the following pages there Is nothing origi nal, or, if there be any originality, it is in the absence Of everything that is new. Perhaps this is greater praise than it seems. It is not so easy always to withstand the onward rush which is plunging so wildly in the direction of novelty. Epithets not in the least flat tering may be hurled at one, but the satisfaction which comes from doing the right as one sees it and as so many generations of men have seen it, brings compensation sufficient. He who lifts the danger signal when danger threatens and helps to prevent colli sion and wreck is certainly doing no ignoble work.
