The Philosophy of Life

"The Philosophy of Life." By Charles Gilbert Davis, M.D. Cloth, price $1.25. The D. D. Publishing Co., Chicago.
The title of this book, together with the title of the author, leads one to expect something worth while. But a perusal of its pages finds nothing more than a conglomerate "messing" of some of the doctrines of the hypnotist, with his notions of "suggestion;" the evolutionist with his notions of billions of years that man has been evolving; and the Christian Scientist's ideas of what may be done by "thoughts" and "ideas," together with a little intermixture of the so-called "new thought." The book is like a great many of the publications that are coming from the press in these times. It is groping in the dark for some great light that its author thinks he sees, while he is ignoring the only true source of light, life, and immortality. The Bible is still the only book that gives a perfectly satisfactory solution of the problem of immortality. A great many people who only know about the Bible, may not think so; but he who actually knows the Word of God, knows that it is so.
