To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An unpro- gressiye church is a dying church; a retrogressiye church is a dead church. Were I asked what consti- tutes an extreme peril to any religious community, I should answer, ''stagnating opinions rotting in a dead theology ; " the mere human formul» of one age me- chanically reproduced and mechanically repeated in ages which have outlived their significance ; the torpor of careless assurance ; the slumber of unreasoning acquies* cence ; the ghastly smooth life dead at heart of a self- sat...isfied religionism ; the '' dropping buckets into empty wells, and growing old in drawing nothing out." God himself, as this text declares, is oyer leading us onward, upward, forward. '* The living sap of to-day outgrows the dead rind of yesterday.'' Therefore, in every true and living church there must be freedom and there must be progress, Freedom and progress are. the law of 9 I30 Things which cannot be Shaken. true life. When the great tide of troth is eyer advano- ing^ even children are not so foolish as to linger among the dank seaweeds npon the oozy shore.
