Selected Quote

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.
