By this I do not mean an outward observance of religious ceremony .... I mean an inner piety which does not find expression in outward show, an essential attribute of religion as the service of God,'who is the Father of the whole of humanity, something bigger and finer than language, nation, and country. It is only such a religion which can solve the strife and. dissension which exists in the world today, and ran save civilization from certain disaster.”
