The Question of Questions: Where Is Man's Permanent Home?; Answered by Reason and Confirmed by Reasonable Revelation

Excerpt from The Question of Questions: Where Is Man's Permanent Home?; Answered by Reason and Confirmed by Reasonable Revelation

The subject-matter of this little book requires deep, earnest and, above all, accurate thinking; but, by way of compensation, it offers to the reader this special advantage that, what it requires, it supplies. Having to do, in great part, with the fundamentals of rational psychology, it is more of a mental training than a mentality test; it does not so much presuppose intellectual ability as promise intellectual development. No one can exercise his mind in arguments that have to do with the final destiny of man, without reaping an immense benefit in the nature of increased mental power.

This, of course, is not said in reference to the particular treatment of the subject which will be adopted in the following pages. The treatment is, more or less, my own; the subject-matter and the arguments are very old, - very old, but ever new and attractive. The subject has engaged the attention of all men, at all times and in every circumstance of life. The arguments are the combined result of ancient and modern thought. All the great thinkers of the world have concentrated their mental powers on the question of man's destiny.
