    H.G. Wells / H.GWells
    This book covers the author's conception of God aside from any religion. He does not come from a religious view in order to transmit the truest conception of God that he is capable of because any religion, whatever it might be, always claims God for itself in an exclusionary fashion. In other words, you must be a follower of the chosen faith before God will accept you into ...

  • The World Set Free
    H. G. Wells / HGWells

  • God the Invisible King
    H. G. Wells / HGWells
    Perhaps all religions, unless the flaming onset of Mohamme-danism be an exception, have dawned imperceptibly upon the world. A little while ago and the thing was not; and then suddenly it has been found in existence, and already in a state of diffusion. People have begun to hear of the new belief first here and then there. It is interesting, for example, to trace how Christiani...

  • In the Days of the Comet
    H. G. Wells / HGWells
    I SAW a gray-haired man, a figure of hale age, sitting at a desk and writing. He seemed to be in a room in a tower, very high, so that through the tall window on his left one perceived only distances, a remote horizon of sea, a headland and that vague haze and glitter in the sunset that many miles away marks a city. All the appointments of this room were orderly and beautif...

  • Mankind in the Making
    H. G. Wells / HGWells
    Toleration to-day is becoming a different thing from the toleration of former times. The toleration of the past consisted very largely in saying, 'You are utterly wrong and totally accurst, there is no truth but my truth and that you deny, but it is not my place to destroy you and so I let you go.' Nowadays there is a real disposition to accept the qualified nature of one’s pri...

  • Soul of a Bishop
    H. G. Wells / HGWells
    IT was a scene of bitter disputation. A hawk-nosed young man with a pointing finger was prominent. His face worked violently, his lips moved very rapidly, but what he said was inaudible. Behind him the little rufous man with the big eyes twitched at his robe and offered suggestions. And behind these two clustered a great multitude of heated, excited, swarthy faces.... ...

  • The Country of the Blind, and Other Stories
    H. G. Wells / HGWells
    As I sit writing in my study, I can hear our Jane bumping her way downstairs with a brush and dust-pan. She used in the old days to sing hymn tunes, or the British national song for the time being, to these instruments, but latterly she has been silent and even careful over her work. Time was when I prayed with fervour for such silence, and my wife with sighs for such care, but...
