Description

Excerpt: "The first question which the unprejudiced inquirer will seek to answer is: How far were the Churches able to prevent, yet remiss in using their influence to prevent, the present war?

There is, unhappily, in these matters no such thing as an entirely unprejudiced inquirer.

Our preconceived ideas act like magnets on the material of evidence which is submitted to us, instinctively selecting what bears in their favour and declining to receive what they cannot utilise.

Nowhere is this more conspicuous than in the field of religious inquiry, nor is it confined to either believers or unbelievers.

There has been too much mutual abuse, and too little attention to the fact that the mind no less than the mouth has its palate, its impulsive selections and rejections.

One can meet the difficulty only by a patient and full examination of the pleas of both parties to a controversy."
