I believe that an honest man can never be happy in a naked scramble for material gain and comfort, without any goal which he believes is greater than himself, and for which he is willing to sacrifice his own egotism. This goal was formerly provided by fundamentalist religions, but science and subversion have so weakened all traditional religions, and given Man such an unwarranted, short-sighted conceit of his "power over Nature," that he has, in effect, become his own God. He is spiritually lost, even if he will not yet admit it. We believe that the only realistic goal which can still lift Man out of his present unhappy selfishness and into the radiance of self-sacrificing idealism, is the upward struggle of his race and the fight for the common good of his people.
