Spirituality.
From the Columbus Journal.


A correspondent asks us what is
meant by spirituality. A satisfactory
answer cannot be given. Some Of the
greatest facts in science have been
established by their results. 1t is much
that way with the spirit. The fruits Of
the spirit. according to St. Paul (Gala.
tians 5.22). are "love. joy. peace. long
suffering. gentleness. goodness. faith.
meekness, temperance" II these are
the results. surely the cause must be
the most wonderful Of human posses
sions. 1t must be divine. That is
spirituality.
Our friend might go back to Genesis
and fchapter 2.O get an idea or two.
Though this may seem a little crude
philosophy. not all the metaphysicians
Combined have proposed better one.
All there is OF a man is his spirituality.
That constitutes his personality. which
is the measure OF his worth. But 60 to
the fruits. They tell all about ones
self. and the measure and quality Of
his spirit and the sort of education
he has achieved. And how 10 this
spirituality promoted? By finding
Gods meaning in all knowledge.
