Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - Pondering over Alison's note, he suddenly recalled and verified some phrases which had struck him that summer on reading Harnack's celebrated History of Dogma, and around these he framed his reply. "To act as if faith in eternal life and in the living Christ was the simplest thing in the world, or a dogma to which one has to submit, is irreligious. . .It is Christian to pray that God would give the Spirit to make us strong to overcome the feelings and the doubts of nature. . . Where this faith, obtained in this way, exists, it has always been supported by the conviction that the Man lives who brought life and immortality to light. To hold fast this faith is the goal of life, for only what we consciously strive for is in this matter our own. What we think we possess is very soon lost." "The feelings and the doubts of nature!" The Divine Discontent, the striving against the doubt that every honest soul experiences and admits. Thus the contrast between her and these others who accepted and went their several ways was brought home to him.

Autor

Winston Churchill was an American novelist born on November 10, 1871, in St. Louis, Missouri. He is known for being a best-selling writer during the early 20th century, though he is often overshadowed by the famous British statesman of the same name, to whom he was not related. Churchill attended the Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School before enrolling in the United States Naval Academy, where he received his education. Over the course of his writing career, he became well-regarded for his novels, which often explored social, political, and historical themes. His works captured the attention of readers with their engaging plots and deep character development. Churchill spent his later years in Winter Park, Florida, where he passed away on March 12, 1947, at the age of 75. Though he is not as widely remembered today as other authors of his time, his contributions to American literature were significant, and his novels enjoyed considerable popularity during his lifetime. His exploration of human struggles within societal structures continues to offer insight into the social and cultural landscapes of his era.
