Page 54-55, We Agnostics, Chapter 4

Imagine life without faith!  Were nothing left but pure reason, it wouldn’t be life.  But we believed in life—of course we did.  We could not prove life in the sense that you can prove a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, yet, there it was.  Could we still say the whole thing was nothing but a mass of electrons, created out of nothing, meaning nothing, whirling on to a destiny of nothingness?  Of course we couldn’t.  The electrons themselves seemed more intelligent than that.  At least, so the chemist said.
Hence, we saw that reason isn’t everything.  Neither is reason, as most of us use it, entirely dependable, though it emanate from our best minds.  What about people who proved that man could never fly?
Yet we had been seeing another kind of flight, a spiritual liberation from this world, people who rose above their problems.  They said God made these things possible, and we only smiled.  We had seen spiritual release, but liked to tell ourselves it wasn’t true.

Both you and the new man must walk day by day in the path of spiritual progress.  If you persist, remarkable things will happen.  When we look back, we realize that the things which came to us when we put ourselves in God’s hands were better than anything we could have planned.  Follow the dictates of a Higher Power and you will presently live in a new and wonderful world, no matter what your present circumstances!
