VIRTUES THE ETERNAL VOICE OF 
GOD IN CONSCIENCE AND THE 
SUBSTANCE OF RELIGION 
Holiness, truth and love constitute the eternal 
life and dominion of God and, consequently, the 
eternal order of the whole creation. The eternal 
plan of creation is the Divine life itself. 
Will, intellect and sentiment constitute the im- 
mortal life of ‘the soul and, in consequence of its 
dependence from the absolutely dominating life of 
God, these spiritual forces adhere to the plan of 
Divine life with overwhelming evidence. 
Our will is created for holiness, our intellect is 
created for truth, and our sentiment is created for 
love divine. 
Any other interpretation of the aim and purpose 
of our spiritual forces and plan of life is false and 
wicked and thus it universally proves itself in actual 
practice. 
A will without submission to holiness would be a 
purely destructive force, an incarnate evil. An in- 
tellect without truth would be unimaginable insanity. 
And a heart without a trace of pure love the most 
execrable thing in creation.
