But if we lose the religious bond whichbinds us to a higher world our life becomes purposeless andillogical; if it holds us and sustains us, we feel we areworking for a great end, a purpose not our own but yet inthe highest and truest sense ours because it is God's.Such men to whom life is a divine enterprise, a missiondedicated to the service of the supreme spirit are the"soldiers of God on earth." Thus religion solves life'sparadoxes.
