Some time ago the Rev. Dr. II. y. Satterlee OF
this city, set to write short article On 'he
Apostles Greed. with especial reference 10 lne
doctrine OF the Incarnation as the fundamental
truth OF Christianity. But before he hnished inc
article 1t grew into bulky volume. which Charies
Scribner's Sons bring out under the tile Nreeu-
less Gospel. and the Gospel Creed Inc mann con-
tention of the author is that Christianity
Is a q universal religion, as against t'OHV
who hold that all the great world rehs-
ions contain some elements OF truth more
or less mingled with error, and that 1t is diiier-
initiated from all other so-called religions ny 'he
dogma OF the Incarnation. 1t follows. therefore,

that which sets forth the facts OF Chrsts life his

Enthusiastically Joining in their PRONUNCIATION
They rejoice when they succeed IN per-
suadjng the world that the spirit OF Chris
tianity is in harmony with the noolest aspirations
Of humanity; but. according 10 DR.. Satterlee they
ought 10 look upon such an agreement as deadly
b,ow al Christianity; for. instead OF bringing mcn
into the Church II will keep them out Of 1t. since
thew will conclude that the Church has no greater
Knowledge OF the truth than the world. This is a
most interesting aspect OF the question. ana III
