become and can never be made the subservient
tool of an organisation. His aim and his mission is rather to free men
from ignorance, superstition, credulity, from half truths, by leading
them into a continually larger understanding of truth, of law--and
therefore of righteousness.

It was more than a mere poetic idea that Lowell gave utterance to when
he said:

The thing we long for, that we are
For one transcendent moment.

To establish this connection, to actualise this God-consciousness, that
it may not be for one transcendent moment, but that it may become
constant and habitual, so that every thought arises, and so that every
act goes forth from this centre, is the greatest good that can come into
the possession of man. There is nothing greater. It is none other than
the realisation of Jesus' injunction--"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God

under this direction and all things pertaining to your life will fall
into their proper places. Therefore do not worry about your life.

voice. They are the prophets of our time and the prophets of all time.
They are doing God's work in the world, and in so doing they are finding

Eternal life, and that there is no such thing as eternal life if this
life that we are now in is not it. When the time comes for them to stop
their labours here, they look forward without fear and with anticipation
to the change, the transition to the other form of life--but not to any
other life. The words of W
