For generations theologians have
written learned treatises to prove the
existence of God. Each generation has
overthrow the contentious of it's pre-
decessor, and forced a restatement of
the arguments. Yet through it all the
faith of men has gloriously persisted,
with small regard for the t%heologies,
natural and dogmatic. One reason for
this Is compactly stated by that incor-
rigible idealist, Rudolf Eucken, in his
newly translated Knowledge and
Life" ~
THE peace Of mind and the f%ullness
or hope which religion brings to the
souls Of men have undoubtedly meant
far more thai all the efforts Of the
ologians and philosophers to found re-
l1g1on upon a scientific basis.
1t Is because religion is no mere theory
OF divine things but the Inauguration
OF a new life, that it cannot possibly
doubt the real presence of a Divine Be
ing within the human soul"
More and. more we incline to think
that n who has had no experience
OF religious power cannot, after all, be
argued into accepting the Divinity
and his religion by any intellectual per
suasion. The person who has expe-
rienced the saving power Of religion
needs no proof of it's validity. It is
real to him as love is to the mothered
child
