The Progress., 1893-03-25

To stop anywhere in your development
IF tbis seed means death. The moment
the development of that seed stops either
one of two things Will happen-the hour
Of the harvest has come, when with one
foot on land and one on sea the archan-
gel shall call the world before the Judg-
meut bar of God. or else, if you have ar
rested its development before its frul-
/ tion, there Is but one result-death III
proportion to its arrest. If you say You
must accept these forms absolutely and
forever, that means death. You have
said to a seed, arbitrarily, stop growing
1t must not stop growing until the har-
vest time, and then the master cometh
and reapeth the seed.
Bad theology is responsible for much
of the inhumanlty we have today. l
said theology had nothing to do with re-
ligion, but a bad theology can interfere
with the development of true religion
when you bind it around the necks OF
people and keep them from growing IN
the knowledge of God. The interpreta-
ton of the Bible which makes Genesis
and Deuteronomy and the Mosaic code
