454Pages. Complete and Unabridged! Mr. Dresser's book is of a highly religious yet thoroughly philosophic nature. He seeks to show the unity which exists between religion, philosophy and science. While his book is thoroughly idealistic yet he in no way ignores the practical side of life. For, recognizing that the ideal is only truly exemplified as it expresses itself through the practical, the author shows the need of the spirit having full access to the outer life. We cannot do better than to quote Mr. Dresser's own words wherein he shows the difference between the spirit and the letter: "One might say that what the world most needs at present is to brush away all abstractions, and return to the sources of things until it is once more fired by the presence of the divine, until it knows for a fact that God lives; then be true to that fact, live for that fact, realize that the divine order is, exists, - not merely seems to be. It is not so much 'reasons for believing' that we need as that type of conduct which accompanies thrilling belief, stirring consciousness of the divine. The world needs science; it needs education, thought, thoroughgoing philosophy, not mere dabbling in the metaphysical realm. But it needs the Spirit even more than it needs downright thinking.
