99:7.1 Though [[church]]es and all other [[religious]] [[groups]] should stand aloof from all [[secular]] [[activities]], at the same time [[religion]] must do nothing to hinder or [[Handicap|retard]] the [[social]] [[co-ordination]] of [[human]] [[institutions]]. Life must continue to [[grow]] in meaningfulness; man must go on with his [[reformation]] of [[philosophy]] and his [[clarification]] of [[religion]].
99:7.2 [[Political science]] must [[effect]] the reconstruction of [[economics]] and [[industry]] by the [[techniques]] it learns from the [[social sciences]] and by the [[insights]] and [[motives]] supplied by [[religious]] living. In all social reconstruction [[religion]] provides a [[stabilizing]] [[loyalty]] to a [[transcendent]] object, a steadying goal beyond and above the [[immediate]] and temporal objective. In the midst of the [[confusion]]s of a rapidly changing [[environment]] [[mortal]] man needs the sustenance of a far-flung [[cosmic]] [[perspective]].
99:7.3 [[Religion]] [[inspires]] man to live [[courageously]] and [[joyfully]] on the face of the [[earth]]; it joins [[patience]] with [[passion]], [[insight]] to zeal, [[sympathy]] with [[power]], and [[ideals]] with [[energy]].
99:7.4 Man can never wisely [[decide]] temporal issues or [[transcend]] the [[selfishness]] of [[personal]] interests unless he [[meditates]] in the [[presence]] of the [[sovereignty]] of [[God]] and reckons with the [[realities]] of [[divine]] [[meanings]] and [[spiritual]] [[values]].
99:7.5 [[Economic]] [[interdependence]] and social fraternity will ultimately conduce to [[brotherhood]]. Man is naturally a [[dreamer]], but [[science]] is sobering him so that [[religion]] can presently [[activate]] him with far less [[danger]] of precipitating [[fanatical]] [[reactions]]. [[Economic]] [[necessities]] tie man up with [[reality]], and [[personal]] religious [[experience]] brings this same man face to face with the [[eternal]] realities of an ever-expanding and [[progressing]] [[cosmic]] [[citizenship]].
