"'The soul of people hungers for an ideal.' I was impressed that it may be that same hunger that prompts us to believe in God. There are so many evidences, the mystery to me is not that men may believe in God, but as Ballard once wrote, 'the great miracle of mankind is the miracle of unbelief.'
"Dinmore has put it beautifully: 'If no help had ever come from God, the impulse to pray would have died out long ago.'" (Conference Report, Oct. 1955, p. 116)
