EEVELATION 7

A writer well known to many here has tried to show
that even agnostics ought not to be content with
mere negation; and should in some way strive to
preserve the springs of consolation and joy, even if
needful by elaborating a new mythology.'

Nothing would be less akin to the miUtant ration-
alism of aggressive unbelief than a passage like the
following : " Faith in some form or other seems to be
almost a necessary condition, if not of life, yet of the
most fruitful and noble life. . . . Most men, I think,
are significant, and find and make life significant, in
proportion to their faith." *

In one way or another the age is an age of religion,
and the question for men to-day is not whether they
will have any religion or none, but whether they
will have the Christian religion or something else.
