' A New Intellectual Basis '...

Religion must organize itself on a more intellectual basis to meet modern needs.

It must present a fuller system, which will intelligibly explain the inner meaning of man, God, and the Universe.

It must not contradict the verified knowledge of modern science.

It ought no longer to attempt to outrage reason, but should go out of the way to convince it.

It must be so timely and reasonable that it will give satisfying intelligent answers to the most disconcerting questions.
