T here is all the difference in the world between a religion and a gospel.
Religions are as thick as autumn leaves.
Almost every man is compelled to shape out one for himself, in which traditional and personal elements may be strangely mingled. But not every religion could be called a gospel. Indeed, broadly speaking, that title is reserved for the Christian faith. It offered hope of deliverance to all men from sins and sorrows which are shared alike by all. That was the secret of its power.
