PASSAGE

Scientists tell us that without the

presence of the cohesive force among the

atoms that comprise this globe of ours, it

would crumble to pieces and we would

cease to exist and even as there is cohesive

force in blind matters, so must there be in

all things animate and the name for that

cohesive force among animate beings is

love. We have to learn to use that force

among all that lives, and in the use of it

consists our knowledge of God. Where

there is love there is life; hatred leads to

destruction. Life persists in middle of

destruction. Only under that law would a

well-ordered society be intelligible and life


43/105

worth living.

The sum total of the energy of

mankind is not to bring us down but to lift

us up, and that is the result of the definite,

of unconscious working of the law of love.

The fact that mankind persists shows that

the cohesive force is greater than the

disruptive force, centripetal force greater

than centrifugal. If love be not the law of

our being, here is no escape from a

periodical recurrence of war, each

succeeding one outdoing the preceding in

ferocity.

All the teachers that ever lived have

preached this law with more or less vigor.

lf love was not law of life, life would not

have persisted in the midst of death. Life

is a perpetual triumph over the grave. If

there is a fundamental distinction between

man and beast, it is the formers progressive

recognition of the law and its application

in practice to his own personal life. All the

saints of the world, ancient and modern,

approve of that Supreme Law of our being.

That the brute in us seems so often to gain


44/105

an easy triumph is true enough. That

however does not disprove the law. It

shows the difficulty of practice,

20. What does our knowledge of God

consist in?

(a) Believing that God helps the poor and

the downtrodden

(b) Understanding His omnipresence

(c) Learning to love all living things

(d) Learning that sinful acts lead to

Destruction

Answer.c

21. What are human beings bound by?

(a) Sense of security
