IN REVOLT

against the kind of religion which we exhibit to the world--against

the cant that is taught in the name of Christianity. And if the men

that have never seen the real thing--if you could show them that, they

would receive it as eagerly as you do. They are merely in revolt

against the imperfections and inconsistencies of those who represent

Christ to the world.

Second: _Beg them to set aside, by an act of will, all unsolved

problems_: such as the problem of the origin of evil, the problem of

the Trinity, the problem of the relation of human will and

predestination, and so on--problems which have been investigated for

thousands of years without result--ask them to set those problems

aside as insoluble. In the meantime, just as a man who is studying

mathematics may be asked to set aside the problem of squaring the

circle, let him go on with what can be done, and what has been done,

and leave out of sight the impossible.
