Excerpt from Phantasmagorian Theology and Other Things
Science is in the nursery, a noisy, troublesome infant, who prattles and cries continually in the absence of the wet nurse.
Humanity needs a religion that can walk with out crutches guided by human wisdom nurtured by human love expanding and abounding always in the light of hope and truth.
Immortality is accepted as a fact by nine-tenths of the human race. They regard it as a birth right; or rather as an entailed inheritance, coming down from the fathers of civilization, who grappled the idea from chaos and were not mistaken about it. This faith in immortality is a blessed antidote of misery and will never be abandoned.

Excerpt from Phantasmagorian Theology and Other Things
The Divide
There is, beyond the Great Divide,
A land with hills and valleys wide,
And meadows soft and low;
A gracious land, where spirits sing
The glories of a mighty King,
And crystal rivers flow.
'Tis but a dream of endless gain
That God has painted on the brain,
And mortals, dreaming, wed
To Christ, and feel that God is near,
And listen, as they dream, to hear
The sandals of the dead.
Why is the trusting heart afraid?
And why the human soul dismayed
When angry waves do wear
Our names from out the sands - and Fate,
The warder of a common gate,
In silence waits us there?
Across the range the lamps are out;
The stars are hid, and all about
A something seems to say:
"Oh feet a-weary! why toil on?
Oh life a-dreary, almost gone,
There is no shining way."
But strew all doubt before the wind
For just to-day, and let us find
A gleaming diadem,
To crown our faith - for dim eyes fail -
And with the lowly shepherds hail
The Star of Bethlehem.
Dear home beyond the Great Divide!
Though I but walk where ills betide,
My soul is saved and free
From that dark thought that death is doom,
Nor shall I sink to Godless gloom -
My soul is stayed on Thee.
