• Excerpt from The Gospel According to Christ: And Other SermonsOne beauty of this book is found in the fact that Mr. Albertson does not keep the apostles forever on trial for perjury, but sends them about doing good everywhere. This is not a volume of apologetics. It is rather a new and gentle reincarnation of New Testament utterances. It does not advance upon us with the fixed bayonet: of the old heavy infantry of compulsion. but it glides quietly along in front of us, beckoning us onward and upward to higherlevels of life and wider horizons of privilege. It is a Gos pel of this time and for this people. It credits our age with having reached the point where gravitation, shifting, turns the other way.The public mind is fed and overfed on secular informa tion and stimulated with brilliant fiction. The ever rattling presses daily carpet every city and town with reading matter of the earth, earthy. Magazines and textbooks familiarize us with a vast nomenclature, partly scientific and wholly secular, till there seems neither opportunity nor desire to feed or develop our spiritual natures. This volume, waving an olive branch and offering peace, slides into the moving mass of literature, and pro poses to do its full share in meeting the essential wants of the people.It makes no apology, for it offers no affront. It stands on its own feet. It extends its own hands. Beneath its feet is the solid rock of Divine Revelation. In its hands are peace for time and life for eternity.When you have read its pages. Applied its precepts, and appropriated its revelations, I am sure you will be better and stronger.C. H. Fowler.
