If we have nothing better to offer than a form of words by the use of which men will perchance derive profit in an existence we can by no means know anything about, then we have nothing better to offer than any other religionist ; and it is interesting to note that wher- ever Christianity has been degraded to such teaching, it bears practically the 68 THE RELIGIONS same fruit as do the old religions. But if through Revelation we have learned what man's Father is like, and that it is his preroga...tive to work as partner with his Father to reduce all created things to harmony and com- pleteness; if by the same Revelation we have learned the truth about human life, and the dignity of manhood, and the glorious possibilities of human en- deavor when man's work is done by men who have received life from on high; if through the same Revelation we have learned that men have the sure promise of Him Who is the same yesterday, to- day and forever, that any man who wishes it may have the same relation to the Father that He Himself bears, and that He will show that man how to use even the least gifts mental or physi- 69 CHRISTIANITY AND cal, so that they may be of positive value in helping to accomplish that which the Father will do for mankind; if what we have so learned has been con- firmed by the great works wrought by men whose inspiration is due solely to the accident of their being born of a race whose civilization is rooted in this Revelation; then it requires no argu- ment to show that we have proved our- selves incapable of valuing the glory of being human if we do nothing to help show this Revelation to our brethren groping in darkness so dense that they do not even know they are human or that they have a Father.
