The creed of life, if we may so term
it, will he definite, searching, severe In
its penalties and as relentless as they
are in life itself, urgent both on the
restrictions nnd the possibilities of life
and never forgetful of those Inspira?
tions that always come when tl.e full
meaning and import of life are re?
vealed. Its sacrifice will be more real
than that of a vicarious oblation, fer it
will be of self and on tbe ero-- of obe?
dience to truth und duty. There will
be no original sin to confuse the mind,
but enough of oik's own to be kept
down and turned to moral uses. Its
heaven will not be so clear and (.'olden
as that of old, but it will take on snell
color and form ns overcoming life may
give it and become ns renl and present
as life Itself. The confusion of today
will not he ended by blowing it away
Into thin mist nor hy explosions of criti
clsm, but only by elear vision now
opened by real life in a real world.
