The work does not need a new religion, but it needs a re-state

ment of the old. If the Churches have become a by-word with think- ing men, it is because they have turned from religion to ecclesiastic- Fisrn.

So it comes to this, as I see it. Man is doomed unless he learns his lesson in time. Ho is doomed un- less his spiritual evolution is speed- ed up to come up with his intricate and highly developed brain-power. Will he escape the ghastly danger hat confronts him to-day by re- cognising it in time, or will he weaken the mcial stocks in fratri- ldal wars and begin the slow and Inevitable descent to degeneracy?

Wo do not know the answer, to that awful question. All we know le that our fate is in our own hands. The destiny of man upon earth does not-hang-upon-the-perfection_of_a Transatlantic rocket, un, reaching the moon, on reducing the working day to four hours, on perfecting in- ternational co-operation or upon anything else concerned with his material lifo.

His future is wrapped up with his spiritual Odyssey. Whither that takes us is a soaled book. But only by the light of a spiritual lamp can we hope to survive; otherwise our doom is sealed and man will perish from off the face of the earth and the universe that produced him will roll on to experiment again with some other md maybe higher life Korm.
