Excerpt from Glimpses of Truth: Along the Boundaries of Thought; Concerning Certain Knowledge, Matter, the Soul, the Deity, Evolution, Assyriology, Higher Criticism of the Bible, the Christ and Other Masters, Immorality, and Heaven 'I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.' John XVI. 'When he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth.' 'He shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.' John XVI. It seems reasonable, then, to say that revelation is not completed, but being completed; that we look for higher knowledge of God, for larger moral views of His relation to us, and of ours to Him, as time goes on and mankind grows.' Stopford Brooke. 'Everywhere there is continuity, evolution without a break; and in revelation it is the same.' Stopford Brooke. 'Men want a theology as well as a daily religion of "sweet reasonableness," want the intellect satisfied as well as the heart. They wish for ideas under which they can collect their thoughts with regard to the questions involved in the relation between God and man, such as the Being of God, what nature and man and evil are in relation to Him, forgiveness of sins, immortality, the future fate of the race.'
