into their darkness some
little ray of "light"--however small.

Let the "Christian" Churches quarrel as they may. The uproar of their
differences in Faith, each seeking to be justified, is stilled before
the Great Reality of those really and truly in Human NEED. Let us do
all the good we may--nor ask the reason why, nor seek a heavenly
reward. At every step we take along the Road of Life--there is someone
we can help, someone we can succour, someone we can forgive. A truce
to violent controversy around and around the Trivial. True religion is
an _Act_--even more than a Belief, infinitely more than mere articles
of Faith. By the greatness of our sacrifice, by the unselfishness of
our Love; by the way we have tried to live up to "the best" within us;
by our earnest wish at all times, and with all men--to "play the
game"--surely by these things alone shall we be judged?

FINIS.
