Some of the Isms.

the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist
publishes forthe benefit of readers not
versed in the conflicting beliefs of the
day:
Atheism A disbelief in the exist
ence of God. An atheist is fool, for
the Bible says: "The fool hath said
in his heart there is no God" And
the reason why he says heart is be-
cause said heart is deceitful above all
things, and desperately wicked. If
his head were level he would say
nothing of the sort, for reason admits
that God is, since His works declare
Him.
Deism "A belief in the existence
of God, buta denial of revealed re-
ligion. A Deist is therefore an inf
del: He often declares his belief in
natural religion-that is, what man
may discover by reason alone. Deism
and rationalism are twins.
Polytheism A belief in the ex-
istence of many gods.
Pantheism:- belief that the uni
verse is God. Spinoza was panthe-
list and so was Hegel, recent Ger
man philosopher. GA strange belief
that leans its idiot back on folly's top
most twig."
Unitarianism: "A belief in the uni
ty of God, as opposed to the orthodox
belief of trinity in unity.
Materialism A belief that there
is nothing but matter in the universe.
What we call mind and soul are to
materialists contemporaries of matter
OF course materialists deny immor-
tality to man. Death is humiliation
of existence.
| Spiritualism The opposite of ma
terialism, originally was a belief that
all matter is really spirit, and that,
therefore, the universe is only Gods
concerted thought. Latterly it means
those who believed in intercourse
with the spirit world. We suppose
the witch of Endor was a spiritualist.
.Fatalism "A belief that all events
necessarily happen, that is, are Or
dained and cannot be altered.
1 Mahommedanism The doctrine
of the Mussulmans, who believe in
the unity of God and that Mohom-
med was his prophet. They are ia.
talists.
Cavanism: THE leading doctrines
are original sin, particular redemp.
ton, effectual grace in regeneration
and perseverance of the saints.
Arminianism:-Is very nearly the
opposite of Calvanism. Its belief:
are (D conditional election and rebro
baton; (2) universal redemption
limited in its bentits only by mans
act in his falling to believe and obey
(9) regeneration is absolutely essen
tial and instantly follows justifyins
faith. tits the work of the Holy
spirit, given of God. There is no ir
resistable grace, and apostasy is posi-
bic. Both Cavinists and Arminian
believe in total depravity and future
, eternal punishment.
UniVerSaliSm:- "A belief that al
men will be finally saved.
Buddhism '-Nominally believed by
one-third of the human race, teache
that there have been so far four sue
cessive incarnations of Deity, follow
ed by stages of Inconsistencies. TIL
