The Life Everlasting a Reality of Romance (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Life Everlasting a Reality of RomanceIn the Gospels of the only Divine Friend this world has ever had or ever will have, we read of a Voice, a 'Voice in the Wilderness.' There have been thousands of such Voices; - most of them ineffectual. All through the world's history their echoes form a part of the universal record, and from the very beginning of time they have sounded forth their warnings or entreaties in vain. The Wilderness has never cared to hear them. The Wilderness does not care to hear them now.Why, then, do I add an undesired note to the chorus of rejected appeal? How dare I lift up my voice in the Wilderness, when other voices, far stronger and sweeter, are drowned in the laughter of fools and the mockery of the profane? Truly, I do not know. But I am sure that I am not moved by egotism or arrogance. It is simply out of love and pity for suffering human kind that I venture to become another Voice discarded - a voice which, if heard at all, may only serve to awaken the cheap scorn and derision of the clowns of the piece.Yet, should this be so, I would not have it otherwise. I have never at any time striven to be one with the world, or to suit my speech pliantly to the conventional humour of the moment.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
