Excerpt from The Marks of a Man: Or, the Essentials of Christian Character; The Merrick Lectures for 1906-7, Delivered at the Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, O., December 6-10, 1906 These lectures of Mr. Robert E. Speer make the eleventh course delivered on the Merrick foundation. The lectures of last year, entitled The New Age and Its Creed, were critical, theological, comprehensive - giving a wide view of the character of our age and the needed adaptation of religious thought and work to the changing, or already changed, conditions of the modern world. The present course is direct, ethical, practical; a consideration of the fundamental and universal principles that apply to Christian life in all ages. The profound impression produced on the occasion of their delivery by their assertions, their arguments, and the intense personal force with which they are backed, justifies the expectation that a multitude will find in them, as many have already found, a mighty impulse to higher living.
