Excerpt from The Light of Life: Set Forth in Sermons Preached in the Church of the English Martyrs, Preston, on Sunday, October 8th 1898. "The Lord is my light, and my salvation" (Ps. xxvi. 1). At the present time, even those who read little and reflect little can hardly help noticing that there is a tendency to make the thought of God more obscure than the thought even of that most High Name ought to be. I will not say that men are forgetting God or neglecting Him. There have always been in the world such forgetfulness and such neglect. But now our best thinkers - our most cultivated intelligences - are occupying themselves with the attempt to make God more and more remote; to thicken the veil that hides the effulgence of His heavenly throne; to increase the darkness which necessarily hangs over the great gulf separating the Creator from the creature; to deaden the echoes of the Voice which must always be distant, but which we believe is intended to be heard and recognised over all the universe.
