""The Song and the Soil: Or The Missionary Idea in the Old Testament"" is a book written by William George Jordan and first published in 1913. The book explores the concept of missionary work as it is presented in the Old Testament. Jordan argues that the idea of spreading the message of God to others is not a new concept, but rather one that has been present throughout history. Jordan examines various passages from the Old Testament, including the Psalms, the Prophets, and the historical books, to show how the idea of missionary work is woven into the fabric of these texts. He also looks at the historical and cultural context in which these passages were written, to provide a deeper understanding of the message they convey. Throughout the book, Jordan emphasizes the importance of a strong connection between the ""song"" (the message of God) and the ""soil"" (the people and culture to whom the message is being delivered). He argues that effective missionary work requires an understanding and appreciation of the local culture and customs, as well as a willingness to adapt the message to fit the needs of the people. Overall, ""The Song and the Soil"" is a thought-provoking exploration of the concept of missionary work in the Old Testament, and provides valuable insights for anyone interested in the history and practice of spreading the message of God.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Calmness is the rarest quality in human life. It is the poise of a great nature, in harmony with itself and its ideals. It is the moral atmosphere of a life self-centred, self-reliant, and self-controlled. Calmness is singleness of purpose, absolute confidence, and conscious power, --ready to be focused in an instant to meet any crisis. The Sphinx is not a true type of calmness, --petrifaction is not calmness; it is death, the silencing of all the energies; while no one lives his life more fully, more intensely and more consciously than the man who is calm. The Fatalist is not calm. He is the coward slave of his environment, hopelessly surrendering to his present condition, recklessly indifferent to his future. He accepts his life as a rudderless ship, drifting on the ocean of time. He has no compass, no chart, no known port to which he is sailing. His self-confessed inferiority to all nature is shown in his existence of constant surrender. It is not, -- calmness. The man who is calm has his course in life clearly marked on his chart. His hand is ever on the helm. Storm, fog, night, tempest, danger, hidden reefs, --he is ever prepared and ready for them. He is made calm and serene by the realization that in these crises of his voyage he needs a clear mind and a cool head; that he has naught to do but to do each day the best he can by the light he has; that he will never flinch nor falter for a moment; that, though he may have to tack and leave his course for a time, he will never drift, he will get back into the true channel, he will keep ever headed toward his harbor. When he will reach it, how he will reach it, matters not to him. He rests in calmness, knowing he has done his best. If his best seem to be overthrown or overruled, then he must still bow his head, --in calmness. To no man is permitted to know the future of his life, the finality. God commits to man ever only new beginnings, new wisdom, and new days to use the best of his knowledge. Calmness comes ever from within. It is the peace and restfulness of the depths of our nature. The fury of storm and of wind agitate only the surface of the sea; they can penetrate only two or three hundred feet, -- below that is the calm, unruffled deep. To be ready for the great crises of life we must learn serenity in our daily living. Calmness is the crown of self-contro

The Majesty of Calmness is one of William George Jordan's best-regarded self-help books; it discusses success as often being the result of past failures, and how haste in life and work is a scourge to be avoided.Working as a literary editor in New York City in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Jordan had ample experience of the bustling, non-stop urban lifestyle. Having a firm mental constitution to deal with the daily stresses and challenges of the concrete jungle is something which Jordan realized was all too essential; many who fall short do so not because of a lack of talent or luck, but overlooking the mental and psychological elements of weathering and succeeding in the world.With this in mind, Jordan sets out a series of topics and useful advice, with the final aim being attainment of happiness and a sense of accomplishment. The majesty of calmness - a serene mood that lets us consider the problems and possibilities before us - is contrasted to hurry, the hasty state that causes us to miss important details and subtleties. Since it first appeared in 1900, this book has been popular and much-consulted, its legacy being to successfully start many readers on the path to mental fortitude and a great mindset.
