Have you ever wondered about the mystery of the sky? How did it get there? Does it end somewhere? As far as man can see with the most powerful telescopes, the sky is still there.

Have you ever looked within and asked similar questions? Where did I come from? How did I get here? Do I have a purpose? Why am I?

Many people these days are searching for the meaning of life, for a purpose, for something to believe. They may have lost their way and need direction. Many are finding solace in religion. Many are turning or returning to faith.

This essay is a plea for reality in religion. Its theme is this: that faith is not merely an intellectual assent to a creed, it is the consent of the whole man, mind, conscience, heart, will, to the will of God. Because faith, essentially, is receptivity of soul, to know the truth we must strive to live the truth. The vital requirement of religion, therefore, is fidelity to present faith, obedience to accepted truth.
