idea; to a world…wide realisation of God as the king of the heart
and of all mankind; setting aside monarchy and national egotism
altogether; can mankind come to any certain happiness and
security。 The precedent of Islam helps my faith in the creative
inspiration of such a renascence of religion。 The Sikh; the
Moslem; the Puritan have shown that men can fight better for a
Divine Idea than for any flag or monarch in the world。 It seems
to me that illusions fade and effigies lose credit everywhere。
It is a very wonderful thing to me that China is now a
republic。。。。 I take myself to be very nearly an average man;
abnormal only by reason of a certain mental rapidity。 I conceive
myself to be thinking as the world thinks; and if I find no great
facts; I find a hundred little indications to reassure me that
God comes。 Even those who have neither the imagination nor the
faith to apprehend God as a reality will; I think; realise
presently that the Kingdom of God over a world…wide system of
republican states; is the only possible formula under which we
may hope to unify and save mankind。
