Signs of the Times

[From an article by Bishop G. G. Bennett, in the Randolph Enterprise, Iowa]

Consciousness is the common inheritance of mankind. At the basis of this common consciousness is God. The serach for Him in this modern age is carried on by many so piteously and hopelessly. Men think that they must find God in some other way and channel than the ordinary avenues of life. As a matter of fact, God must be at the elbow of our every necessity; and the sooner we realize this, the sooner will we understand the mysteries of life. New psychological and scientific theories may be compared to the little child, who at an early age tries to run away down the street and thinks it can get along by itself. Eventually the chhild must realize that it depends upon its elders for sustenance and livelihood. So the many new theories of life all lead eventually back to the basis of a common consciousness and a common God.
