Letters on such matters have been received
here by thousands. Every day the mail brings new and intelligent
contributions to the questions that have kept men praying,
thinking, fighting and hoping through the centuries:
"IS THERE A GOD, AND WILL MY SOUL LIVE FOREVER?" ----
Very interesting are the expressions of faith which fill a
majority of the letters. Interesting also are the letters of
doubters atheists, agnostics and the many intoxicated with a very
little knowledge, who have decided to substitute their own wisdom
and doubt for the belief of the ages--the belief in God and in
personal immortality.
Many think science has discovered that we could get on very well
without a God. But science has done just the contrary. And
here, if you please, we shall build up a sort of parable: ----
A Man had a box full of motherless blind kittens. He was very
kind to them. He put their box on wheels and moved it about to
keep it in the sun. He gave them milk at regular intervals.
With loving kindness he drove away the dog which growled and
scared the little kittens into spitting and back raising.
The kittens trusted the Man, loved him and felt that they needed
him. That was the age of faith.
One day a dog got a kitten and tore it to pieces.
