A RELIGIOUS THOUGHT
THE “ACID TEST” “Christianity, first and always, from beginning to end, is a religion of experiment and experience; it is a pragmatic faith. It is not a religion of human authority or of tradition, like Confucianism or Judaism; nor of force and might like Islam. And although it has and is a philosophy, its validity does not depend on philosophical data. -Its verification is in practice and exercise. “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is gracious.” “Ask, and ye shall receive; seek; ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened unto you.” “Come . . . and I will give you rest.”
