Excerpt from Religion and Human Interests
Primarily, religion has to do with man's duty towards his Creator. It prescribes the worship which is due to the Creator from the creature. However, this is not religion's only function. It sheds its benign influence on every department of human life. It is the keystone in the arch of human conduct, it keeps all other duties in their place, while explaining and enforcing them. I have attempted to bring out this function of religion in the following pages. The war has compelled many thoughtful men to re-examine their scale of values; if this little book affords any help in the task, it will have fulfilled its writer's desires.
My thanks are due to the editor of the Catholic Times for permission to republish matter which first appeared as articles in that paper.
