---

If you accept the existence of a power behind the Universe which controls its life, which is perfect, and which is bringing all things and all beings--however slowly--closer to its own perfection, you must also accept the values of hope, improvement, and evolution while you must reject those of pessimism, deterioration, and nihilism. You will never feel sorry for yourself.
