Admiration For Ourselves And Our Institutions Is

The Strongest Wish Of A Vast Number Of Earnest Men And Women To-day Is For A Basis Of Religious Belief Which Shall Rest, Not Upon Tradition Or External Authority Or Historical Evidence, But Upon The Ascertainable Facts Of Human Experience. The Craving For Immediacy, Which We Have Seen To Be Characteristic Of All Mysticism, Now Takes The Form Of A Desire To Establish The Validity Of The God-consciousness As A Normal Part Of The Healthy Inner Life.

There Are No Rewards Or Punishments - Only Consequences.

God Does Not Always Punish A Nation By Sending It Adversity. More Often He Gives The Oppressors Their Hearts' Desire, And Sends Leanness Withal Into Their Soul.
