Excerpt from The Christianity of Christ
There soon comes a time in every child's life when it begins to notice things and to realize what is right and what is wrong. This is especially true if the child be of poor parents and must early bear a part of the burden of getting a living. And as the child grows older he can see all around him that something is wrong, but what it is he does not know. Life seems a puzzle.
Anybody can see that something is wrong, but how to improve conditions is a matter of no little concern. Millions of reasons are given, investigating committees galore are put to work trying to find the cause, and still things go from bad to worse. But the cause of all evils is the lack of Christianity. "Lack of Christianity!" some one will say, "with all our churches and services?" Yes, churches enough and religions enough, - or rather too many, - but Christianity does not exist. In the following pages I will give my analysis of life and the rules which will, if put into practice, insure us a life as the Creator intended we should live it. I hope the day will come when this selfish life as it exists will be extinct and in its stead will reign the altruistic life as taught by Christ. Give Christianity full swing, and heaven on earth we will have. Then, and then only, can man be the highest creation of God, whereas in this degenerate state he is an abomination.
