Excerpt from Salvation Here and Hereafter: Sermons and EssaysLook for a particular religious doctrine in this parable, I say, and you will have difficulty in finding one - one about which many would agree. Its purpose I believe to be wider and greater - viz., to awaken serious thought. The curtain is the picture. The story is the doctrine. It is a ¿ash of lightning in the night, which lightens up a familiar landscape under an unfamiliar aspect and awakens in the spectator unfamiliar feelings. It is a glimpse of the world of human life, in which reality bursts through appearance with the crash of doom, in which the tremendous possibilities that lie hid under cover of some superficial class distinctions overturn these distinctions, and by the suddenness and violence with which they do it force from us the question, Is there indeed some thing besides appearance and much more than appearance?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
