ABSTRACT

The modern man is unable any longer to think of himself as a single personality approaching an everlasting judgment. He is one man today and another tomorrow, one person here and another there. He does not feel he knows himself. The modern world is like a stage on which a stupendous play has just been presented. Many who were in the audience are still spellbound, and as they pass out into the street, the scenario of the drama still seems to them the very clue and plan of life. In the prologue the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Religious teachers who were close to the people have always understood that they must perform wonders if they were to make their God convincing and their own title to speak for him valid.
