Selected Quote
You, yourself, have got to see that there is no just interpretation of life except in terms of life's best things. No pleasure philosophy, no sensuality, no place nor power, no material success can for a moment give such inner satisfaction as the sense of living for good purposes, for maintenance of integrity, for the preservation of self-approval. Minot Osgood Simons, DD

The function of a modern religion is to accumulate spiritual power in life and for life. We need that power all the time, but if it has not been accumulated it is not there when we need it most. In a world like this, particularly like the one at the present time, can anyone get along just as well without the inspirations of religion? He cannot. Religion keeps us up to the everlasting effort to attain the best life and best things in life.
