To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
God is mind, and man in his essential nature is mind ; and with man's innate convictions and feelings in relation to rectitude, and without a full belief in God's rectitude, the true basis of harmony is wanting, and union with God under such circumstances cannot possibly exist. And therefore salvation fails. 5. — And this is not all. In order to reach the salvation which is involved in a unity with the di- vine life, it is further necessary to believe that God accepts us, loves us, protects us,... and is and will be a friend and father to us. This is one of the highest :ind most important acts of faith.

The harmony of ideas re- quires this. No man ever did or ever can believe in God as a friend and father to himself personally, and in the sense of an acceptance of himself into the re- lation of unity of life, so long as he is inwardly con- scious of doing things wilfully, which God disap- proves and forbids.
