 creative co-ordination. 



Never did man exhibit more clearly the divine 

 origin of his soul than when he began to recognize 

 that his life is a part, only, of a much more complex 

 and significant life, the life of humanity, the life of 

 an enormous number of autonomous individuals each

 complex life from a threatening chaos of a non-co- 

 ordinated humanity to a social cosmos became then the 

 highest problem of man's creative soul. The gradual 

 solution of this problem is the evolution of social co-

 employed in co-ordinating operations. But just as the 

 human body becomes a living soul when it is animated 

 by the divine breath of its creator, so the same divine 

 breath must give to Church and State a living soul 

 which will guide their operations and put into them 

 the power of that creative co-ordination which will 

 lead the life of humanity to a cosmos. That soul is 

 the co-ordinated effort of our individual souls, guided 

 by the highest ideals of spiritual achievement. With-

 to the full glory of a social cosmos, and the individual 

 life of man will lose many blessings to which it is 

 entitled by its close relationship to the divinity of the 

 Creator, the fountain head of all spiritual realities.
