epiIlt u CuIlet III giving one cup OIL
water in bis name than In believing all
the theological dognlas that the mind
of man has deduced and imagined
from the simple teachingsof the lowly
Nazarlne.
Evoiation OF Religion.
"There is great upheayal Of religious
thought going on, and the evolution of
the old theological opinions will result
in new and higher type OF theology
type that is nearer to the life of the
great master and teacher. True relig-
ION must necessarily be emotional. 1t
must spring unhampered from the
heart itself, with no thought of
creeds or dogmas. 1t must be
a spontaneous desire to do good be-
cause 1t is good. and because it will
bring aid and comfort to other of God
Aimighty's children. This is the kind
of Christianity that is practical, and
Christianity that isn't apart of the
common piace-eyery day life 10 but
CHASTITY nlockery and an insult to the
memory of Him VINO went about doing
good. Modern Christianity must be
lived, and lived every day of ones ex-
istence. Prof. Drummond has clearly
indicated IN The Greatest Thing in
the World what the new theology must
be. and in my opinion he Is its leader.
'The conference discussed also the
question of abolishing the clause rela-
tive to dancing, card playing, theater
going, etc. 1t was very warmly dis
cussed. 1t is my belief that the devil
has enough sources of proselytlng
without the aia of the Christian
church."
