| Summary: | This article contains the substance of an address given to the students in the University of Chicago. After considering briefly ritual, mysticism, and the individualistic experience of redemption as aspects of religion without large influence on social reconstruction, the writer sets the function of faith as a stirring challenge to easy acquiescence, and indicates the moral power given by a belief that moral effort has a cosmic reinforcement. Such faith is an important factor in heartening men for social and economic reconstruction. Religion is also an expression of the deeper unity and spirit of a community. It seeks a juster society. As the group enlarges, ideals of justice grow broader. In spite of much provincialism there are in modern religion forces making for a more just and harmonious social order. |
