Atheism And Agnosticism Signify The Rejection Of Certain Images And Concepts Of God Or Of Truth, Which Are Historically Conditioned And Therefore Inadequate. Atheism Is A Challenge To Religion To Purifiy Its Images And Concepts And Come Nearer To The Truth Of Divine Mystery.

This Was The Very Purpose Of Creation That Each Unique, Individual Being Should Participate In Its Own Way In The Divine Being, Should Realize Its Eternal 'idea' In God, Should 'become' God By Participation, God Expressing Himself Through That Unique Being.

I Liked The Solitude And The Silence Of The Woods And The Hills. I Felt There The Sense Of A Presence, Something Undefined And Mysterious, Which Was Reflected In The Faces Of The Flowers And The Movements Of Birds And Animals, In The Sunlight Falling Through The Leaves And In The Sound Of Running Water, In The Wind Blowing On The Hills And The Wide Expanse Of Earth And Sky.

In His (christ's) Surrender On The Cross All The Pain And Agony Of Mankind Was Concentrated At A Single Point, And Passed Through From Death To Immortality, There Is No Pain Of Any Creature From The Beginning To The End Of Time Which Was Not 'known' At This Point And Thus Transmuted. To Know All Things In The Word Is Thus To Know All The Suffering Of The World Transfigured By The Resurrection, Somehow Reconciled And Atoned In Eternal Life. It Was God's Purpose Which He Set Forth In Christ As A Plan For The Fullness Of Time, To Unite All Things In Him, Things On Heaven And Things On Earth'.
