From our Exchanges

with contributions from Herbert K. Job, Thomas Van Ness, J. A. Wood

Salvation, in this view (of nature-love), is found in obedience to law in harmony with the divine will. The only right attitude for the individual becomes that of seeking the truth and of being ever obedient in spirit and in action to the vision that may be accorded. The means of knowledge of a saving, uplifting faith are found in the convictions of truth which are given to the honest, reverent, seeking soul, likewise in the open pages of nature, and again in the testimony of the experience of earth's best and noblest souls. The teachings of Jesus are reverenced because he showed himself worthy to instruct in that he truly communed with eternal Truth. The Bible is reverenced, not as a miraculous or final announcement of all truth, but as a true record of the consensus of experience of the highest thought of the best and noblest of our race in their efforts to know God.

Rev. Herbert K. Job.
The Congregationalist.

Preparation for the anticipated and desired blessings of God includes the faithful use of what has already been given. The knowledge, the grace, the gifts and power within present possession or reach must be diligently employed before additional supplies can be obtained. "Whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance." The moral ground of daily life must be cleared before spiritual blessing can be given. The heart must be emptied of its hatreds and prejudices e'er it can claim promised grace. Man's preparation for God largely consists in doing right and making things right.
