THE COMPLETE LIFE. 



Six Discouirses, 



FROM THE STANDPOINT OF MODERN THOUGHT. 

 By JAMES H. WEST, 



AUTHOB OF "UPLIFTS OF HEAKT AND -WILL," "VOICES OF YOUTH," ETC., ETC. 



"This world it means intensely, and means good; 

 To find its m,eaning is my Tneat and drink." 



[From The Chicago Evening Journal.] 

 "Would that all pulpits rang with words as brave and true as we find in the pub- 

 lished sermon-lectures of James H. West, brought out in book form with the title 

 The Complete Life.' Every word the author indites is golden, and should he read by 

 young and old. Such books are genuine uplifts of heart and mind, and when we get 

 to heaven, if we ever do, through earth's sordid dust and mire, we shall have men like 

 James H. West to thank for finding our way there." 



[From The Christian Register.'] 

 " In all these discourses Mr. West shows a sympathy with Ts"ature, a poetic and 

 a spiritual sense of the divine forces that are working in Nature and in man. The 

 moral tone is always earnest, and the moral ideal is high. They are sermons which 

 bear on right thought and right living. The author finds in the natural the synonym 

 of the divine. He finds a moral purpose budding and blooming in the nature of man."

"Mr. West has undoubted poetic conceptions and sympathies. In much of his 

 Terse he shows himself to be a genuine interpreter. His expression is often a fine 

 instrument ; melodious, imaginative, and vital. Even where one notes an imperfec- 

 tion of form, a fine thought or a beautiful fancy redeems the fault." Christian 

 Union. 



"His poems rank easily in the higher grade of those published in these days." 



Congregationalist. 



HYMNS LOOKING ONWARD, INWARD, UPWARD. "Valuable as 

 a collection of untheological religious verse, even when not intended 

 to be sung." Single copies, postpaid, 10 cents. More than ten copies, 

 5 cents each. 



"A pamphlet of Forty-Two Hymns, collected and arranged by James H. West. 

 Older collections of church hymns furnishing little that he could use consistently 

 with modern rational religious thought, this thin pamphlet was printed for temporary 

 use, to serve until something larger and better should be demanded by a growing con- 

 sistency on the part of liberals as a whole. These hymns are of human hojie and 

 humanendeavor, and are valuable as a collection of untheological religious verse, even 

 when not intended to be sung." Index.

 cards, with two Illustrations and Proem. A Tale of the Florida Ever- 

 glades. Red-Lined. Price, postpaid, 25 cents.

christian Utiion. 



" The poems of Mr. West are more than entertaining, they are helpful. His grasp 

 upon familiar objects, and a faculty of voicing poetic thought concerning them, give 

 a real pleasure." Advocate.
