The Business of Salvation (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Business of Salvation

The following more or less unusual presentation of a rather familiar subject was suggested by a series of discourses, which the author was called upon to deliver in the St. Louis Cathedral, during the Lent of 1911. The audience was, to a large extent, composed of business men, who gathered there during the noon hour, and for six long weeks followed the course of instruction day after day with the closest attention. It is to this circumstance that the present treatise owes its somewhat novel form. It places the work of salvation on a strict business basis, taking due account of Capital and Interest, of Gain and Loss, and all the various Risks involved in Business Enterprises.

From this it must, however, not be inferred that its appeal is only to those men and women who are engaged in business strictly so called. To a certain extent we are all business men or business women, and we are sufficiently familiar with the methods and purposes of the business world to draw therefrom most valuable lessons for the successful carrying on of the one really important business of our lives.
