Excerpt from Faith in Man: The Religion of the Twentieth Century
Not all revolutions are heralded and accompanied by disorder and violence.
The revolution in thought which Socrates witnessed, and the great French Revolution were marked, the first by moral confusion, and tho second by social anarchy.
A mightier revolution is taking place in our generation, - implying profounder readjustments in men's beliefs and actions than tho revolutions referred to, - which proceeds with marvellous rapidity and yet almost without protest.
The Conscience has eclipsed the Scriptures; Science has destroyed the belief in Divine Interposition; Democracy and Civism have shown men how to help themselves, and the supreme test and interest of men have become Ethical, and have ceased to be Super-naturalistic.
