The calming down of our religious
emotions is a most important forward
step in civilization. Men begin to real
ize that the mysterious Power above
gave us this beautiful planet, that we
might take care of it like faithful gare
deners and find happiness in the pro-
cess, leaving the hereafter to a high
er judgment.
