Excerpt from The Church and the Divine Order Then whole discussion will appear to many a pure anachronism. When we are in the throes of deciding whether our society is to rest on individual competition or legal socialism, what does it matter, they ask, whether men belong to one Church or many or none at all? Regarded as spiritual facts, however, what is now called individual competition and legal socialism are not opposites at all, for both alike are simply organised force. Where in our present industrial system is the personal dealing of man with man in trust, friendliness, and consciousness of mutual benefit, which makes relations individual?

Excerpt from The Liturgy and Other Divine Offices of the Church God hath redeemed us; but we have lightly esteemed this redemption. We have all neglected this great salvation, and have provoked God to cast us off. He has called all men to serve and to obey Him, but they did not like Him to reign over them. He has given to us all in our baptism His Holy Spirit, but we have resisted His motions within us. He gave to His Church precepts and ordi nances, by which the Body of Christ might be edified to the perfect Man, the measure of the stature of His fulness 3 but we and our fathers have despised them, and followed our own imagi nations: wherefore confusion has been wrought in the house of God.

Excerpt from The Divine Office: A Study of the Roman Breviary I hope that this book may serve as an introductory manual to the study of the Breviary. It may be useful to junior students in colleges, in giving them some knowledge of the Church's Hours, which they assist at in their college choirs. It may assist them to know and love the official prayers of the Church, and may help to form devout habits of recitation, so that, when the obligation of the daily office is imposed on them, they may recite it digne, attente et devote. The texts and intentions may be an aid to them, and to students in Holy Orders, in the great and glorious work of pious prayer.

Excerpt from Virgin Saints of the Benedictine Order It is now England's proud boast that her Empire is more extended than that of any other country, that her ships rule the waves, that her sons who people the uttermost ends of the earth still look to her as their mother, and that her progress and prosperity have never been surpassed. Vet there was a day when she could boast of something even greater than all this: a time when her sons and daughters were foremost in the ranks of the heroes and heroines of the Kingdom of Heaven who have won for themselves immortal glory and unfading crowns. As we look back at the history of this country in the days when England was winning for herself the title of Island of the Saints, and as we run our eyes down the long list of those special friends of God whose names have come down to us, we notice that by far the greater number were sanctified by the Rule of St. Benedict. That Rule is no antiquated legislation, fitted only for mediaeval times. It is as practical and vivifying now as then; it has the same power of perfecting individuals and leavening nations, for its vitality rests on the promise of God.

Excerpt from The Harmony of Divine Truth How it can be accounted for, that the term truth should have been selected by the inspired writers, (or rather by the Spirit of inspiration.) to distinguish the religion which they exhibit, from every other system in the world, if at the same time they had considered it as a mere moral chaos, made for our plastic hands to mould and shape into such creeds as should please every man's own fancy? It is worthy to be noted that the sacred volume makes a very copious* use of this term, applying it to every department Of religion. For itself, as an inspired book, it claims the honor of being called the scripture of truth, and the word of truth. Dan. X. 21. Eph. I. 13. Is not the Bible thus manifestly distinguished from the Koran of the Mahometan's, and the Shasters of the Brahmins, and from every other book which sets up a claim to inspiration? The God of the Bible is called the true God, his beloved Son is called the true Witness, and his Holy Spirit the Spirit of truth and why, except to distinguish Jehovah from idols, his Son from false Christs, and the Holy Ghost from Satan, and every other lying spirit? The doctrines we are required to believe, are denominated the truth, to distinguish them from the doctrines of devils, and from delusive errors of every kind; and the belief of these doctrines, when it is wrought in our hearts by the Spirit of God, is said to be truth and no lie, to distinguish it from a false faith which does not work by love. Also, that conduct which is required by the divine law, and which is the external expression of a heart conformed to it, is called obeying the truth. 1 Tim. Ii. 4. 1 John ii. 27. 2 John 4. The church of the living God, when considered as a community, composed Of men redeemed from iniquity, is called the pillar and ground Of the truth. 1 Tim. Iii. 15. See also Isa. Xxvi. 2. What an importance does it give to religious truth when we hear Christ Jesus witnessing this good confession before Pontius Pilate! TO this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. John xviii. 37. Surely that must be a thing of no small consequence, the establishment of which was the end of our Redeemer's birth, and the sole cause why he came into the world.
