About this book

Realizable ideals is by Theodore Roosevelt and is described as Earl Lectures of Pacific Theological Seminary delivered at Berkeley, California, in 1911. The introduction says that the Seminary is fortunate in possessing a Lectureship founded by Mr. Edwin T. Earl in 1901, whose purpose, as stated in the articles of foundation, is to aid in securing at the University of California the presentation of Christian truth.

The text says that harm is always done by preaching an ideal which the preacher and the hearer know cannot be followed, which they know it is not intended to have followed. The text gives the judgment of Huxley, one of the greatest scientific thinkers of the last century, that the Bible is the most democratic book in the world, and the speaker adds, I ask you to train children in the Bible.
