"I believe this,--that Christ was born into the world as a Sign and
Symbol of the life, death and destined immortality of each
individual human soul. Into the mystery of His birth I do not
presume to penetrate. But I see Him as He lived,--the embodiment of
Truth--crucified! I see Him dead,--rising from the grave to take
upon Himself eternal life. I accept Him as the true manifestation of
the possible Divine in Man--for no man before or after Him has had
such influence upon the human race. And I am convinced that the
faithful following of His Gospel ensures peace in this world, and
joy in the world to come!"
