About this Item

Blue cloth, top front corner bumped & creaesed, short tear to cloth at tip. 5 1/4 x 7 3/4 inches, ffep inscribed in black ink, "Dr. E. Terry Smith, a slight token of esteem, from his friend, Chancy B. Brewster." xii., 143 pp., tidemark in the top margin of the last 10 leaves. The author begins by saying that politics in the United States were not anything ot be proud of, and that people are distressed and bewildered. This was an era of strikes and race riots, with Progressives ascending in politics.The solution, from what we can gather, is Socialism, albeit Christian Socialism. Brewster, in our view, believes that the Kingdom of God will be advanced by some form of a Socialist state. He attempts to state this while at the same time rejecting "Marxian interpretation" of Socialism. He tries to use the Kingdom of God as a measure of societal advancement, rejects "the philosophy of materialism," and we think idealistically projects a vague idea of a political Kingdom of God as the cure for society's ills.Chauncey Bunce Brewster (1848-1941), graduate of Yale College & Divinity School; 5th Episcopal Bishop of the Connecticut Diocese.
