"
I believe in a religion of happiness and joy. There is too much depression and sorrow in the world. These things were never meant to be and have no real place in the world of reality.
Religion should be like the morning sun sending forth its rays of light; it should be like the falling dew covering the land with fragrance and sweetness; like the cool of evening and the repose of night. It should be a spontaneous song of joy and not a funeral dirge.
From the fullness of a joyous heart the mouth should speak."
~ Ernest Holmes, from 1934 lectures on "What I Believe"
