Author Description

1923. It is apparently difficult for modern English people to think of God as the first author of beauty. Yet to our ancestors it clearly was not so, since they took a great deal of pains to make the House of God and His services beautiful. In the addresses found in this volume, Royden tried to develop the thought which underlies the great phrase in the Book of Wisdom. Contents: meaning of beauty in religion; poetry and religion; beauty of Christ's teaching; beauty of common things; poetry of Christ's teaching; poetry of the gospels; religion and laughter; love the creator; Our Lord Jesus Christ.
