… complete, dogma which has ever been produced in the world. Let science and reason grant us so much; we shall ask nothing more of them. “God exists; there is only one God, and He punishes those who do evil,” said Moses. “God is everywhere; He is in us, and the good that we do to men we do it to God,” said Jesus. “ Fear” is the conclusion of the dogma of Moses. “Love” is the conclusion of the dogma of Jesus. The typical ideal of the life of God in humanity is incarnation. Incarnation necessitates redemption, and operates it in the name of the re…

There is a white cave by the sea Wherein the knight is hid away. Just ere the night falls, spieth he The sun’s last shaft flicker astray. All day is dark. There, there he mourns His wasted years, his purpose faint. A million whips, a million scorns Make the knight flinch, and stain the saint. For now! what hath he left? He feeds On limpets and wild roots. What odds? There is no need a mortal needs W…

150 THE STAR IN THE WEST fear of primitive man to the veneration of his present day offspring . Fear , the basal foundation of all gods , found a subtle soil in Ignorance ; Ignorance reacted on God , producing Superstition ; Superstition , Cruelty ; Cruelty , all the tigerish longings of the day and the hoggish gratifications of the night . Pessimism is necessarily the foundation of all re ligion ; for if man were normally optimistic he would not have conceived such a hierarchy of tyrants as that of his gods .

THE GROWTH OF GOD 10! A God of Mercy, Happiness, and Love; Reverses life and fact: and so believes. So man grew up and so religion grew. Now when the zons grow to millionfold, Hath earth one mystery, one glory new ? Are not these thoughts immeasurably old ?

The gold air whistles and the glad horse thunders, Spurning the quiet woodland: now the light Stirs bird and beast—a thousand glow…

…d holy mystery. Although each star has its own number, each number is equal and supreme.
