Gospel of Joy

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. There are those who know they are doing wrong, who will not let loose their sin, yet whose intellect, imagination and easy fervour run to meet a higher view of life and of religion. The downright truth about them is that unless they banish the dark thing, root it out and cast it from them, they may see the light but will not keep it; may touch it and yet turn it into corruption. We must give up what we know to be sin. Then, when the kingdom of God opens before us, we can not only enter into it, but abide it] it. When that is done, the next step is possible, the putting on of the armour of light. The inspiration has come to us new thought, and aims, and emotions; new views of God, new views of man.
