True religion... is not a matter of words. It is not merely a profession of faith. It is the very living of certain rules. It enables a man to abandon the practice of sin and yet to be tenderly compassionate with the sinner. It enables a man to be strong against temptation and yet to be gentle with those who having sought to do right have failed. It enables a man to forgive those who have trespassed against him; and to expect only good forever.

When the religion which stems forth from the God of love takes hold upon a man a change is wrought. The crabbed, the depressed, the fearing human being will little by little become changed into a loving, exalted, confident individual. He has come upon the great treasure, that which is essential to his and all mankind's welfare.
