these thinkers and speculators have not diverted the attention of Israel from the main interest of their religious consideration: the expression of righteousness in our lives here and now. Every word and act should be an expression of the God, in us or goodness, in us. The messianic age toward which we look and hope is not a chrystalline city set somewhere amid the clouds, nor is it a suddenly and miraculously regenerated world. It is knowable here amid the familiar scenes of our earthly life, amid a society of men and women.
