Excerpt from Thy Kingdom Come: A Book of Social Prayers for Public and Private Worship
The kingdom of heaven on earth is feasible. This should be the first article of our Christian faith. And our faith should be for us verily "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The Christian should leave to others a monopoly of pessimism. However much pessimists may doubt, the Christian should be sure that the kingdom of heaven is to be realized here, - progressively realized, realized better the day after to-morrow than to-morrow, - yet it is to be realized, and the Christian is never to surrender his hope nor to give over his effort. Our impotence comes of our doubts, and they are unworthy of us. How are these social iniquities, and missittings, and overreachings, and shortcomings, jealousy and evil cunning, the carelessness of the opulent and the insane distress of the down-trodden, the vice of the incorrigible and the irresponsible waywardness of the unthinking - how are all these to be submerged or banished or abolished? That is for us to find out. Above all must we never lose confidence in the divine intention. We must never minimize prayer. We must never lack the bravery of communion with the divine counsels. No task is too great and no confusion is utterly bewildering to those who maintain pure and true and strong the courage of prayer.
