AND ITS MESSAGE 



when he seeks to reform the social 

 order, realizes the heroic service 

 that was given to bring to pass 

 even the imperfect freedom and 

 justice we have today; who, 

 when he criticises the Church, 

 appreciates also the work it has 

 done and is doing for the world; 

 who, when he reaches a sweeter 

 and simpler creed, remembers that 

 the creeds of the past, however 

 rough and crude and harsh, were 

 yet trails over which men traveled 

 on to fellowship with God. 



3. Again there comes to me a 

 message from the companionship 

 of the trail. No man passes any 

 other upon the trail without speak- 

 ing to him. Strangers will stop 

 and exchange information about 

 good camping places. The stand- 

 ards of value and judgment are 

 different from those on the great 

 roads below. Men are not valued
