CHAPTER II.
BEING OF GOD; UNSATISFACTORY FORMS OF PROOF.
§1. IN entering on a form of proof involving so many considerations as that for the being of God, and considerations which have such very diverse weight for different minds, we need to prepare the way for it, as far as possible, by settling the legitimacy of the various appeals so constantly made to psychology in the course of the argument. Proofs, both for and against the being of God, are characterized by very loose and unsatisfactory assertions, assertions that have no clear and sufficient basis in the human mind. These statements pertain chiefly to psychology, as the whole deductive and inductive force of an argument extending to the being and nature of an Infinite Spirit must be derived from the spirit of man and from his experience.
It is urged with great confidence against the legitimacy of the growth of the idea of God, that it has been in all stages anthropomorphic, and, in its earlier stages absurdly so.

New Thought Day was declared by James Edgerton on August 23rd, 1915
During research while expanding the free New Thought Library,
one of the ministers came across an interesting quote from early New Thought Alliance President James A. Edgerton:
"'The truth, once announced, has the power not only to renew but to extend itself.
New Thought is universal in its ideals and therefore should be universal in its appeal.
Under the guidance of the spirit, it should grow in good works until it embraces many lands and eventually the whole world.'
