[Quit Your Worrying! by George Wharton James]@TWC D-Link bookQuit Your Worrying! CHAPTER XIII 3/18
Hence I have little to say about one's own inner struggles, except to affirm and reaffirm that wisdom, sanity, and religion itself are _all_ against worrying about it.
Study religion, consider it, accept it, follow it, earnestly, seriously, and constantly, but do it in a rational manner, seeking the essentials, accepting them and then _resting_ in them to the full and utter exclusion of all worry. But there is another class of religious worriers, viz., those who worry themselves about _your_ salvation.
Again I would not be misunderstood, nor thought to decry a certain degree of solicitude about the spiritual welfare of those we love, but here again the caution and warning against worry more than ever holds good.
Most of these worriers have found comfort, joy, and peace in a certain line of thought, which has commended itself to them as _Truth_--the one, full, complete, indivisible Truth, and it seems most natural for human nature to be eager that others should possess it.
This is the secret of the zeal of the street Salvationist, whose flaming ardor is bent on reaching those who seldom, if ever, go to church.
