Excerpt from Stand Up, Ye DeadTwo years ago the writer published a book called The Great Discovery. It seemed to him in those days, when the nation chose the ordeal of battle rather than dishonour, that the people, as if waking from sleep, discovered God once more. But, now, after an agony unparalleled in the history of the world, the vision of God has faded, and men are left groping in the darkness of a great bewilderment. The cause may not be far to seek. For every vision of God summons men to the girding of them selves that they may bring their lives more into conformity with His holy will. And when men decline the venture to which the vision beckons, then the vision fades.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.
