Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

1929. Crane writes: To me religion is life. It is the essence of my valuation of life and my relation to the great forces of life. Hence it is a matter to be studied, a matter to grow with my growth. It is not like a chunk of granite; it is like a vigorous tree which constantly puts forth new buds and branches and beareth his fruit in his season. It is for this reason that I should like this book to be taken as being not controversial, but simply a humble effort to state the case as it seems to me.
