Excerpt from Consolation I wish you would call on Mrs. Luce and try to comfort her in her bereavement, said a friend Of mine who was accustomed to sug gest to me a way Of being useful to others when she saw an Opportunity Of doing it. What calamity has befallen your friend Mrs. Luce that she needs help from a compara tive stranger? She has her minister and many intelligent friends, who ought to be able to give her all the consolation that one person can give another. I know that. They have tried, but they have done nothing to lift her burden Of sorrow or dispel one shadow from her mind; she continues to be perfectly hopeless and the picture Of despair.

Excerpt from The Problem of Consolation This book has grown out of a pastor's effort to be the bearer of consolation to thinking people in times of distress. To the sufferer it may be a problem of pain, but to the pastor whose aim is to lift him out of suffering it becomes a problem of consolation. There exists so much confusion as to the interpretation of God's relation to life's problems that the principles of God's moral gov ernment are often misunderstood or overlooked. Words change their meaning, new facts modify or change the philosophy that molds sentences. Old interpretations that satisfied minds whose thinking was harmonized with former facts by an old philosophy do so no more. Compared with the time when the Scriptures were written, we have a new world and new facts, and with these a new philosophy that demands a new inter pretation of our experiences to harmonize Light, Life, and Truth. As Paul, in his Epistle to the Romans, expressed the gospel in Roman terms and Roman modes of thought, so it becomes our duty to do the same for our modern world. In this humble effort I desire to express my indebt edness to Bergson and Eucken for the principles that I have endeavored to work upon.
