DRIFT OF THEOLOGY TO-DAY
hEP. DIR. BITTERSHALLA Ar TRINITY
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

Individualism the Distinctive Feature o.
Our American Belief Characteristics OF
This Age Not Unlike Those of the Fif-
teen Century-No Alarm Need be Felt in
Discussion of Christianity.
Rev. DR.. Battershall gave the second
or the series of lectures before the
Church club in Trinity Episcopal
church last evening, a large audience
being present. He spoke on the sub
ject of Drift in Modern Theology" in
part as follows:
"lndividualsm is the distinctive fea-
ture of our American belief of to-day
freedom of thought and theology. But
in the individual tendency of our the
ologies we cannot afford to cut entirely
away from the old Christian church.
In church composed of more than
one man there must be rituals of wor-
ships and creeds, and these are sure to
come.
This has been termed an age of
transition, but the social order is al
ways in motion. Certain events char
actertze ages and make them epochs.
The characteristics of this age are not
unlike those of the fifteenth century.
Then the reformation followed the re-
birth of letters and art, the same as
the rebirth of science may be said to
characterize the last half of the nine
teenth century
We cannot escape the new ideas and
theories of science. Every age has to
pay for the advance it makes. Men
to-day are restive because they have
outgrown the science of those who
formed their theology two hundred
years ago. The medieval theology
has become too narrow for the enlight-
ened and keener artistic sense of to-
day And this explains the modern
carefulness to sever all theology from
Christianity and to put to sea with a
breeze of emotion filing the sails.
':The theological discussion of the
age is looked upon with unnecessary
alarm. Some people cannot sleep in
their berths unless the ship is tied tc
the dock Their God is the God of the
harbor and not of the sea and the
storm.
Where shall we form basis for the
ology? What we need is to interpret
more perfectly Christ's idea of God and
life. The present theology is for full
er statement of all the truths of a
Christ-centered theology. This ac-
counts for loss of sectarian spirit and
the elimination of the lines of division
The reinstatement of Christ is not only
a return to primitive Christianity, but
it is also response to the needs of this
age We recognize Christ and the soul
and center of the only possible religion
In spite of the denials of eminent sci
entists, the tendency of science Is to de-
ny the miraculous, to vaporize the birth
of Christ and His resurrection. While
restoring the historical Christ, it takes
away the basis of theology. The study
of nature doesn't produce theology OF
ethics.
Men must have religion with Gre
dentials. 1t must bear witness tc
things beyond the facts of science
There is only one such source, and the
world never before as now, must go tc
Christ.
LET us not be disquieted. We need
have no fear for Christ, His faith ano
His church"
