To establish ethics and religion on a
scientific basis is one of the dreams of
the materialistic philosophy The idea is a
taking one to many in these times and
the subtlety with which the subject is
put is often calculated to entrap and mis-
lead the unwary. The scientific method
of treating questions of ethics and relig-
ion to a certain extent is powerful for
good, but the proposition to reduce re-
ligion or ethics to scientific formula is a
very different matter. 1t makes consid-
cradle difference whether we put the
horse before the cart, Or the cart before
the horse.
The first thing in religion is concept
ion of God. If there is no God. there
can be no religion in the proper sense of
that term. If there is no God who made
man in His moral image, it is not prob
able that mankind would have such con-
ceptions of Him as they do and ever have
had. Even the most vivid imagination
cannot create som ething out of nothing
and the stream of human life and thought
cannot rise higher than its fountain head,
of itself alone. Nothing can be more alb
surd than that the children of men have
invented religion to meet the cravings of
their own weakness or to serve their nat
urai ambition; and that they have made
God out of their own fancy, instead of
Gods having made them in His image
and revealed Himself to them because of
His love for His own.
Religion is itself witness that there
is personal God, and that He has made
known his relations to men.
Religion IS from above and not from
beneath and should be the basis of all
ethical and scientific conclusions in their
applications TO the want of human soci-
ETY.. Religion and mems ideas of relig-
ion are often two very different things
but revelation is above discovery, as the
Infinite who reveals Himself is above the
finite who has power to discover and
classify few facts of Nature. The diff
ferences between true religion and false
show what sort of gods men can make of
those who believe in Him. Because
there is true and living God, there is
also true and living religion which has
its foundation in revelation of God to
men, in which He makes known the re-
lations between Him and them.
Therefore ethics and religion are and
must be established upon the right
knowledge Of God as revealed by Him..

contain some hard raps at Wagner and
