Yet much can be done in the way of making clear the understanding of man's spiritual nature, his high destiny which points beyond this life for its fulfillment, the meaning of the Kingdom for this life and the next, the Christian concepts of judgment and salvation with eternity in their span — in short, the
goodness and power of a God who, having given us this life, can give us another in which to attain to his nearer presence, enjoy a richer happiness, and do his will more perfectly.
Yet much as I admire and thank God for all the random
goodnesses which exist in our country today, I can not see any prospect of any rebirth of religious faith without the Christian Church.
