Religion is not collection of cree Is
Theologies, dcgmas, or rules,
A burning of incense, prating of
prayerfs,
Or ecclesiastical tools.
Religion is not singing psalms by the
hour,
Nor mumbling your prayer-book
all day,
Nor reading the Bib.e, nor going to
church
Though these are all good in their
way.
No Religion is vital, religion Isl life,
Full of impulse which flows from
the heart,
Which scorns al hypocricy, snivel
and can't,
And is honest in every part.
Religion is telling the truth in trade,
Without even counting the cost,
And having the courage TO stand by
the right
Tho fortune and friends may be
lost.
Religion is thirty-six inches per yard
And sixteen full ounces per pound,
And sixty whole minutes of other
mems time
Not watching those minutes roll
round
Religion is meeting the world with a
smile,
Then bringing a bright smile back
home
A JOY to the loved ones who wait for
your step,
No matter how far you may roam.
Religion is turning your back on the
wrong,
With a prayer in your heart to do
right;
Then stepping forth bodily to con.
quer yourself,
With your face ever facing the
light.
Religion is giving bright word or
more,
To those whose dark clouds hide
their sun;
If you've got the kind of religion |
mean.
You will hear the Great Masters
"Well done.
