identify
Religion with the divineness of all knowable and appreciable things. The
most enlightened worship is only one spiritual act or gesture. The
broadest and most limpid thinking is but the morning freshness to a day
full of God's necessities, who works at our morals, our politics, our
society, our science, and our art. Religion is the recognition and
acceptance of all knowable phenomena of human life; in these man finds
his God, God reveals himself to man. We hope to find that the last
essay, upon the "Moral Ideal," is prelusive to another effort in this
direction.
