The deed of gift declares that “the  object of this foundation is not the promotion of scientific investigation and  discovery, but rather the assimilation and interpretation of that which has  been or shall be hereafter discovered, and its application to human welfare,  especially by the building of the truths of science and philosophy into the  structure of a broadened and purified religion. The founder believes that such  a religion will greatly stimulate intelligent effort for the improvement of  human conditions and the advancement of the race in strength and excellence of  character. To this end it is desired that a series of lectures given by men  eminent in their respective departments, on ethics, the history of civilization  and religion, biblical research, all sciences and branches of knowledge which  have an important bearing on the subject, all the great laws of nature,  especially of evolution ... also such interpretations of literature and  sociology as are in accord with the spirit of this foundation, to the end that  the Christian spirit may be nurtured in the fullest light of the world’s  knowledge and that mankind may be helped to attain its highest possible welfare  and happiness upon this earth.” The present work constitutes the thirty-fourth  volume published on this foundation.A Global Academic Publishing Book
