Windy Creek (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, 12 հոկ, 2017 թ. - 366 էջ Excerpt from Windy Creek Lest the writer be thought to be holding up a primitive people to ridicule, a few words of explanation may be necessary. It is not my wish to decry religion: I have seen instances of sincerity and child like faith, especially among the Free Methodists. There is one Evangelist now. Preaching in the rain-belt who gave up his position of railroad engineer to work and suffer for a pittance in the cause of Christ. But as an eye-witness to the shallowness and absurdities palmed off on a credulous community under the name of religion, it has been my wish to set forth the harm of emotional religion - to show how the glar ing inconsistency between professions of holiness and imperfect lives tends to dull the moral sense.
