Religion today is not transforming people rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.

Brother Lawrence expressed the highest moral wisdom when he testified that if he stumbled and fell he turned at once to God and said, 'O Lord, this is what you may expect of me if You leave me to myself.' He then accepted forgiveness, thanked God, and gave himself no further concerns about the matter.
