Excerpt from A Generation of Religious Progress: Issued in Commemoration of the Twenty-First Anniversary of the Union of Ethical Societies
The World War, which has now been raging for well nigh two years, has made it painfully manifest that the religion of yesterday, with its implicit reliance on transcendental guidance and aid, is not the religion of to-day. Men neither hope to win the War, nor secure a permanent settlement, save as the result of indefatigable thought and effort, and if s'carcely a voice can be heard which does not anathematize war and all its odious works, it is because the consciences of men, liberated from ancient trammels, have grown infinitely more sensitive. Supernaturalism, in other words, has become as nearly as possible an empty formula, while strenuous endeavour in the service of the moral ideal has acquired a sacred character.
