Excerpt from In Quest of Light
A secular journal in England received, in the course of three months, nine thousand communications from people seeking for light on the religious question. The question, then, is evidently practical.
Never before has there been such a crisis in the history of belief. Never before has man, enlightened as he now is by Science, faced with a free mind the problem of his origin and destiny.
The following papers were penned with the same desire of light as those of the nine thou sand. They appeared in different forms, chie¿y as letters, in the New York Sun, to the cour tesy and courage of whose editor the best thanks of the writer are due.
It seems that some of those who read them have wished to refer to them again. They are printed as they appeared, without attempt, which would have been vain, to give the series a literary form.
