 of religion to imitate the being worshiped;"[33] or, as the Hindus express it: "As is the deity such is the devotee." Worship the God revealed in the Bible, and you become god-like. The soul strives, with divine aid, to "purify itself even as God is pure." But apply the principle to Hinduism. Alas! the Pantheon is almost a pandemonium. Krishna, who in these days is the chief deity to at least a hundred millions of people, does not possess one elevated attribute. If, in the circumstances, society does not become a moral pesthouse it is only because the people continue better than their religion. The human heart, though fallen, is not fiendish. It has still its purer instincts; and, when the legends about abominable gods and goddesses are falling like mildew, these are still to some extent kept alive by the sweet influences of earth and sky and by the charities of family life. When the heart of woman is about to be swept into the abyss her infant's smile restores her to her better self. IMITALI QUAM CAULIS IT IS THE SUM OF RELIGION TO IMITATE THE BEING WORSHIPPED OR AS THE HINDUS EXPRESS IT AS IS THE DEITY SUCH IS THE DEVOTEE WORSHIP THE GOD REVEALED IN THE BIBLE AND YOU BECOME GOD LIKE THE SOUL STRIVES WITH DIVINE AID TO PURIFY ITSELF EVEN AS GOD IS PURE BUT APPLY THE PRINCIPLE TO HINDOISM ALAS THE PANTHEON IS ALMOST A PANDEMONIUM CHRISTIANA WHO IN THESE DAYS IS THE CHIEF DEITY TO AT LEAST A HUNDRED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DOES NOT POSSESS ONE ELEVATED ATTRIBUTE IF IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES SOCIETY DOES NOT BECOME A MORAL PEST HOUSE IT IS ONLY BECAUSE THE PEOPLE CONTINUE BETTER THAN THEIR RELIGION THE HUMAN HEART THOUGH FALLEN IS NOT FIENDISH IT HAS STILL ITS PURE INSTINCTS AND WHEN THE LETTONS ABOUT ABOMINABLE GODS AND GODDESSES ARE FALLING LIKE MILDEW THESE ARE STILL TO SOME EXTENT KEPT ALIVE BY THE SWEET INFLUENCES OF EARTH AND SKY AND BY THE CHARITIES OF FAMILY LIFE WHEN THE HEART OF WOMAN IS ABOUT TO BE SWEPT INTO THE ABYSS HER INFANT SMILE BESTOWES HER TO HER BETTER SELF
