CHRISTIANITY PURE AND SIMPLE.


1t is claimed by some writers that science
is eventually to overthrow Christianity, and
so strenuously is the proposition urged, that
the mind is led. almost irresistIbly, to the
conclusion that the high mission Of science
is to cleanse and purify the human mind Of
belief in the teachings of Christ. We see it
stated by writer in the Popular Science
monthly for May, "thst the effect of the
great advance in scientific thought has
been to modify considerably most forms of
religious belief can not be denied; and, in
spite of the many attempted reconciliations
of the two, it is not difficult to see that
some of the leading dogmas of Christianity
are doomed" Now then, christianity" is,
tersely stated, "the religion taughtb Christ"
1t is not therefore the religion taught by
anybody else, no matter who he may be or
may have been, ranging from priest to apos-
tie. His teachings are not Christianity IN
less they be the teachings of Christ. Dog
mas and creeds taught by professed Chris
tians are not necessarily Christian, and
though they may be bsnished from the
world and leave no trace behind, i does not
follow therefore that the symmetrical
grandeur of Christianity, pure and simple,
will be marred. Indeed, if science or any
other gency can be employed 20 effectuslly
rid the world of Anticipated creeds and deg
mas, the outgrowth of ignorance and de-
pravity, under which and behind which
bad men have found shelter. and
struggled, Christianity will be the gamer to
an extent that only seraphs can tell. Do the
devotees of scince anticipate the coming of
an era when those who hunger and thirst
after righteousness" will not be called
"blessed?" or when science shall give TO the
world better men than those who are pure
in hearth" Do those who are looking for
ward for the triumph OF science expect a
TEACHER to arise who will utter a grander
sentences than Christs, when He said:
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do ye even so to them?'
Is science to give the world
something better than benero!ence.
charity and forgiveness? Something more
excellent. than love of neigAbors,
TO help the poor? II so, the time has come
for its disciples to inform the world. Chris
tiaDity is the teachings of Christ. Science
in lis profoundest researches does not, we ap-
prebend, hope to Danish from the world the
teachings of Christ. 1t may help to over
turn creeds and reconstruct dogmas.
The world ia ready for such revOlu-
tions, but mercy, justice, love and for
giveness, the grand pillars OF Christs
religion, science will not tear down. As we'll
think OF topping over the everlasting hills,
or expect by human decree that the bow of
promise shall no more be seen on the bosom
of the cloud. Christianity, pure and simple,
to deal justly and love mercy. and science
will not discover anything better, though it
at.last resolves the solid earth into its origi-
nal elements and establishes in the minds OF
men the philosophy of chance. Already
there are quite too many evidences that
science, so called, is stilted fanaticism and
| learned nonsense.
