To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Buddhism and Christianity, however, — reach the goal by very different routes, for — Buddhism says: "worry is an inevitable ac-| ^ companiment of life. In order to get rid off n/' 1 AS A HEALING POWER 65 it you must destroy the desire to live and thus reach Nirvana, " which means absolute quies- cence ; the end of worry because the end of life. Christianity, on the contrary, says: "The great need is not less but more life; not less but more power; not less but more spiritual vitality. " "I came..., " says Christ, "that they may have life and have it abundantly. " ^ Worry and fear may be transcended through i the influx of a mightier emotion — trust in the j Eternal and in His purpose of good for every | soul. Hence it is our aim to substitute for false or inadequate ideas of God and of His rela- tions to men a conception of His real charac- ter as Christ reveals it, until the sufferer feels as if God were a new being, the very embodi- ment and guarantee of all his better aspirations and ideal longings.
