Excerpt from Place and Importance of the Common School: An Address Before the Convention of County School Commissioners, Delivered in Athens, Georgia, Wednesday Evening, May 4th, 1910 One little fellow was trying to bring pure joy to the earth. A tiny pinch of human potentiality was devising a method for effacing injustice from the world, while a red-headed promise Of a future man was coming to the earth to conquer death. Every child, before he could em bark on Time's galley for the shores of the earth was re quired to have some idea or invention with which to bless the world. The children failed to find the bluebird in their travels. But when Tyltyl and Mytyl woke up in their bed, the morning after their dream wanderings, lo and behold! The bird in the cage in their rooms had turned blue during the. Night. The thing they sought was not distant from them, but in sight Of their very eyes.

James Wideman Lee
Edit ProfileEducation
He graduated from Emory College in 1874.
Career
Having joined the North Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in 1874, he was duly ordained and sent from place to place, according to the Methodist custom, until he reached Atlanta. Here he served the quadrennium limit first at Trinity Church and then at Park Street Church. Transferred to St. Louis in 1893, he remained there until his death save for another quadrennium (1905 - 1909) at Trinity Church, Atlanta, and a year (1910) at Park Street Church. In St. Louis he was pastor of St. John's Church for three quadrenniums (1893-1897, 1901-1905, 1911 - 1915), presiding elder of the St. Louis District (1898-1901, 1915 - 1916), and chaplain of Barnes Hospital during his last four years. In each of his principal pastoral charges he secured the building of appropriate church auditoriums or parsonages or both; as presiding elder he raised money for the weaker churches of his district, and for the denomination's educational and benevolent enterprises, in satisfactory fashion. As a pastor he was much given to visiting and is said not only to have known every member of his church and Sunday school but also to have kept in touch with the members of past charges throughout the forty-four years of his ministry. As a preacher he was variously described by contemporaries as "eloquent and forceful, " gifted with a "pungent colloquialism, " of "voice high and notes a bit strident, " but of "genuine spiritual insight and power. "
In 1892 he published The Making of a Man, which was at once translated into the Japanese tongue and later into the Chinese and the Korean. Three years later he edited The Earthly Footprints of Christ and His Apostles, containing photographs made under his personal direction in 1894. Through the enterprise of the publishers more than a million copies were sold. He was editor of three other publications (among them The Self-Interpreting Bible in four volumes, 1897) and author of eight, all of them save two being religious in character. In 1912 he published his another work The Religion of Science: The Faith of the Coming Man. His volume, The Geography of Genius (1915), was made up largely of travel notes arranged to illustrate his belief that "no places are of importance except such as have been made significant by association with great people, great battles or great events of some kind" (Foreword).
A good deal of a philosopher and poet as well as a preacher, Lee was most noteworthy for the diversity of the people to whom his unmistakable friendliness and persistent optimism appealed. He was a speaker much sought for special occasions; and hundreds of people of all classes and in all regions voluntarily testified to his influence on them personally. His widow, three sons, and three daughters survived him.
Achievements
-
Lee was one of the leading clergymen of his time in the United States. Most important of his writings was "The Religion of Science: The Faith of the Coming Man" (1912), in which he argued for the application of the scientific method to the phenomena of the Christian religion (not its dogma) in a series of essays deemed brilliant, illuminating, and satisfying by a great many, including prominent clergymen.
