ans call two worlds
are but one; that the Kingdom of God is here, within and around
you; that there is but one Universe and not two; that the
relation of man to God is that of father and child, not of

man wields any of the great forces of the Universe, it is

enough to make his life worth living for himself and his race.
And yet, and yet, do I exaggerate one particle, when I say
that Dr. Hale has been all these, and more?

"Edward Everett Hale has been the interpreter of a pure,
simple loving and living faith to thousands and thousands
of souls. He has taught us that the fatherhood and tenderness
of God are manifested here and now in this world, as they
will be hereafter; that the religion of Christ is a religion
