The path to light demonstrated by the life and deeds of the Son of God has been so encumbered with the stones and hindrances of superstition that it has lost its appeal for thousands of people who find superstition unacceptable. Consequently, such people view all religious phenomena with disgust; they consider belief in God is foolish ignorance. But through that attitude they have themselves become involved in the cancerous organism of superstition, because to deny God means denying a fact and denying the logic which says that a machine cannot build itself and a garment cannot come into being by itself; to deny God, the Creator, means believing that dead things create live ones instead of vice versa. And that is a superstition on which no civilization can be based and come to perfection or remain free from wars, crises, degeneration and so forth. Mankind thus can come to salvation only in harmony with the radiance from Golgotha which indeed beamed out the message: "No man cometh unto the Father, but by me".
      Because mankind has built up its civilization on a mistaken conception of the Saviour and his significance, it has not yet "come to the Father". Its civilization is a sinking ship. Extreme efforts are being made to keep it afloat, but the defects are too great, the water is pouring in, the "end of the world" is at hand, but "of that day and that hour knoweth no man". But through the fear, excitement and shouts, through the black night of suffering and despair, there still shines the ray of light from Golgotha, from the Saviour; there still vibrates in human ears his last loving message with the promise: "I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world". Those on the stricken ship can have faith that, in spite of storm, darkness and a furious sea, they will be led safely to the great salvation. A flood of light is just piercing the darkness of the clouds; already there is shining and vibrating a great new cosmic impulse which with transcendent brilliance is directed from somewhere in the centre of the Milky Way straight towards the earth. In its light can be seen the "eternal Father". The shipwrecked mariners, mankind, will abandon the doomed ship, but they will be saved. The earth will soon be shining with a new civilization "wherein dwelleth righteousness". Before the light radiating from the face of God the shades of night must flee.
