THE REASONABLENESS , OP GHRSmANITY In one of his "Success Talks foi Boys," Editor Clarence Poe of Th< Progressive Parmer says. "We are born Into a creation wrap' ped around with the mystery of In> finity and Eternity. It is a creatioi "bigger than our hunfttn minds can un derstand. In other words, in even night God whispers to mian that h< was botn for something bigger thai earth, something more enduring thai time. No wonder Napoleon ^ Bona parte, when some Infidels arguei with him one night, pointed up t< tne starry sky and answered: "Wh( then made all that?" And no won der Lord Bacon declared that he hat rather believe any fable ever writtei than believe that the earth and heav ens developed by mere chance or ac cident. Granting1 then that there is a God * it Is not also reasonable that H< should wish to mlake some revelatlor of Himself to His creatures? And 11 He has so revealed Himself, what reIgion seems most like a genuine revelation? What religion offers the noblest and most ennobling conception cl God?Buddhism, Mohammedanism* Judaism, or Christianity? No one who has studied them with unbiased mind, ;iI think,, can be in doubt on this point. Nor do I think of anything more reasonable than the coming of Christ to earth. Wlhy should not a God who loved His creatures soy, l**Liet Me show men how to live by Myself living the' humble life of a man for tjiree and thirty years.

True religion, as I understand it. . is a paslon for this divine comradeship. To love God, to love eternal j, , things, with, all one's heart, and to ij, j love one's neighbors as one's self? v i that is how Christ summed up reli- p C gion. I seriously doubt whether the Almighty ever hears a self-centered v . man who prays, "O Lord, save my soul. I don't want to suffer in any n \ torment. I do want to enjoy the lux- iT ury and glory of Heaven." But I ant sure the Almighty hears every one who cries, "Oh, Lord, put Thy spirit = within me. Let me turn from evil and follow in Thy footsteps. Help me to live an eternal being, made in Thy image and destined for Thy courts/ "But is it worth while to join a church?" you ask. I certainly believe that it is. The church is the organized soldiery of the Almighty. You can do a great deal more if you fight with the regular army instead of being a mere camp-follower.
