I do not say to you, stand out against household ways and make yourself disagreeable by carrying out a Puritan Sunday the only kind I believe in. No; surely that would be a very unchristlike way of spending Sunday. But every girl knows the difference between helping to make a pleasant family circle and lounging idly through the day in self-indulgent gossip and games.
We test every Scripture by the Spirit of Christ in us: whatever is to us unchristlike in Joshua or in Paul, in a psalmist or in the seer on Patmos, is not for us the word of our God: whatever breathes the Spirit of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation is to us our Father's Self-revealing speech. Nor do we think that God ceased speaking when the Canon of the Bible was complete.
Were a tithe of the vast sums lavished by our millionaires upon the pictured walls, gorgeously embellished ceilings, overcrowded book shelves of our numerous libraries, and upon the unchristlike towers of unfrequented cathedrals, be even loaned to those who would gladly cultivate the thousands of acres of untilled soil in fair Florida, all the suffering hangers-on for jobs would become successful agriculturists, owning their own farms, buying their own books, and sufficiently educating their own children.
