Excerpt from Sermons on Religion Life The sermons seem therefore specially fitted for a generation determined on truth, while they at the same time give expres sion to the faith after which it is groping. Faith comes from faith as life comes from life.' The man who walks as seeing the invisible opens other men's eyes for a like vision. Robertson walks through a real world, he has to do with society, with labour and capital, with doubts, with sorrow and failure, but he deals with everything as One who himself knows the whole of which everything is a part. He takes, for instance, the natural human desire for rest. He, by examples which appeal to every one's experience, shows what sort of rest satisfies and what does not satisfy. He gives due recognition to the other human desires - to the desire for action and the desire for fame, which seem to war with the desire for rest. Then, out of the very facts of human nature, he brings, as it were, the present God. His readers are not forced by argument, they feel in themselves that as they become like God they will find rest.
