Excerpt from Faith and Social Service: Eight Lectures Delivered Before the Lowell Institute Helped me much in stating the practical phases of the municipal problem. I have diligently studied Arnold Toynbee's Industrial Revolution and Professor Ash ley's English Economic History and Canon Bar nett's Practicable Socialism. I have made use Of the Handbook Of Socialism, written by my friend and colleague in the Church Social Union, the Rev. W. D. P. Bliss. The lecture on The Divided Church I have read at the Ministers' Club Of Boston, and before companies of ministers and lay people at Springfield, Mass, Middletown, Conn., Gardiner and Bangor, Me., and Grand Rapids, Mich; it was also printed in the New World Of September, 1896.
