“Religion, like everything else,” says the author, “has caught the temper of the age,” and this little book can be called an attempt to apply modern efficiency methods to religion. In these times of wornout institutions and necessary readjustments in all our relations, religion too must be reduced to its lowest terms in order that we can build anew; and constructive thought and vigor of action are called for. Whatever our difficulties may be, the author thinks it is always possible “to secure an effective starting point for one’s religious life by beginning where one is and cooperating with God according to one’s light and opportunity.” Contents: Faith; God; Christ: Evolution; The Bible; Prayer; Immortality; The church; Cooperating with God.
