Excerpt from Life and Light for Woman, Vol. 46: March, 1916 He felt, for one thing, that the problem of bringing the whole round earth back to its inheritance was a task calling for all that a man has of mental force, all that he can bring of intellectual equipment. He matched His powers of argument with the keenest of the Scribes and Pharisees, who, beaten on their own ground, could answer only that He was blasphemous or trying to turn the world upside down. Because He could pray He never believed it was unnecessary to think, because He lived by the spirit He did not repudiate the equally God-given powers of His mind. Surely the problems have grown no less complicated with time. Emotion is good if it is true, and an unselfish sentiment toward your neighbor's good is worthy of all praise, but before much real work is done somebody has to sit down and think the thing out, has to wrestle with the difficulties, has need to use all his native intellect and all his power acquired by training. Can we uphold the principles Jesus laid down without consecrating as He did the best we have-of mental power? Why economize? Why save our brains for other use?
