growth forced upon u from WITHOUT,
bu, rather the production and in,g-
of our own humanity; its follies and
weakness and crimes ale a l intensely
human; they are all bu' part AMI par
eel of these follies we find all through
human society. II is not a ques-
ton of this old dead church of the
past-tlis church of rites and cere-
monies, bigotry and superstition
and no church at all. There is q
possibility of an institution in which
men and women can build their as
pirations of a better life; and where,
united by the ties Of mutual SYM
patby, they can join hands and hearts
in reaching forward for more light
and truth, and send back their faith
into the world only as the tree.sends
down its roots far into the soil, and
out of the mould to get sap by which
to bloom the richer in the sunshine
of to-day. And in this age OF COR
porations and associations and trade
unions, when men recognize that tho
only way to accomplish anything i
to combine and unite their efforts,
who shall say that the doing of re-
ligious work is only a conception Of
weaknessa Who shall say that thsrs

tray in their lives q common God?
Take finally the doctrine of saliva
ton which has for it's method q
plan, one class of people shut in
and another shut out. There is
nothing it seems to me that is too
harsh that infidels have ever said
against it. Colonel Ingersoll two or
three months ago in Boston related an
incident of a fire in Maine, where q
woman appeared at window with
child in her arms and sent out a cry
for help. The large, swaying, tiuid
crowd, cried out-not where is there
a Baptist, q Methodist, or Calvinist
that will go the rescue-but where
is the man who will save the woman
and her child? And then, while
good Christian people were hesitat-
ing, a rough fellow stepped out,
and with q fearful oath, shouted,
d" I am the man to go!" and mounted
the tottering ladder, and while great
circles of fire were kissing their
tongues of fame all about him, dis
through one of the win
dOws. Again he appeared at ano:h-
Or window with the woman and
child, and bears them safely down
the ladder and into the arms of the
crowd, and in the same mo-
ment falls back dead. The crowd,
ignorant of theology, rent the air
with their shouts; they feel a. il
hero was indeed with them. But
the next Sunday the Christian minis
ters made the incident q text for q
and preach that mans only
way OF salvation Is through the blood
Of Christ; that good deeds are mere
eth and rags, and that the profane
