Excerpt from Christ the Creative Ideal: Studies in Colossians and Ephesians If Christianity is to be placed on the securest foundations, its oneness wz't/z tile Creation must be shown, and all suspicion of disharmony with Science removed. If religion is to be revived, God as Creator and Father, as well as Redeemer, must be seen in such a character as shall attract men's interest and inspire their love and devotion to Him and His cause - which is really our own; and the religion to which we are called in Christ must be recognised as Divinely natural - that which at once manifests our Ideal and makes its attainment possible for all, individually and socially, for time and for Eternity.
