sponsible." But on page 81 we
read good institutions do not
make good men," This to me is
confusing. If environment is
responsible for evil, will it not,
under other conditions, he n
power making for good?
1t must be conceded that the
criminal classes are recruited
mainly from those whom evil
surroundings are driving to law
lessness, whilst the wealthy keep
safely on the right side. May
not every other form of wrong
doing and wrong thinking be
largely attributable to environ
ment ? If SO, will not such sur
roundings as render possible the
conception of high ideals, and
practice of a better life, cause
men to spring forward on the up
ward road? | should not like to
believe otherwise.
One comes across many sur
prlses in this work. For instance:
TOO long have we all, Catholics
and Professionals alike, busted our
selves with disputations about the
meanings of texts. II We have
been too eager to make the script
ures preteXt for argument and
contention. m II The tend
ency of these things is to narrow
minds, to deaden consciences,
\ n where religiosity is sub
stituted for religion, conscience
loses it's meaning as Gods primal
and most authentic voice, charac-
ter is undermined, and individuals
and people degenerate and are
are brought to ruin" Then fol-
lows a paragraph favoring the
coming toward of the priest and
preacher IN works of social value,

human affairs. Education and

quired give truer ideas OF the worth
of life, and supplies motives for
right living. The teachers bust
ness-his sole business, one
might SAYS to awaken and con-
firm interest in the things which
make for purer and richer life, for
interest compels and holds atten-
ion; and interest and attention
result in observation and accur-
acy which are the characteristics
of cultivated minds. Moral
character is the only foundation
ON which the temple of life can
stand symmetrical and secure !;
and hence there is a general agree
ment among serious thinkers that
that the primary aim and end of
education is to form character.
In the next chapter we find these
golden words: ut should not be
our concern to become great men
or great women, it being our busi-
ness to make of ourselves genuine
men and genuine women; and
right education, aided by each
ones industry and good will, can
effect this for all. "
Works such as this give those
of an optimistic frame of mind
fresh hope, and lift the pesslmist
from his canon of despair. The
ultimate reconciliation between
science and religion spoken of by
Spencer seems after all, a thing
not impossible, whilst the pro-
phecy once made that the Roman
church would be the first to break
down the barriers, returns to
memory with a shock. Bishop
Spalding stands on the higher
plane whence can be seen the
similarity of the best scientific
thought and the religious senti-
ments in man. The combining
bars of the movable enclose all
alike, and wherefore should we
strive? And mark how obsolete
in the face of the New Thought
appears the argument of the
skeptic of the Buechner stamp
The agnosticism of the Ingersol,
type has had its teeth drawn anc
its claws clipped, and this by
scientific thought. Take this fol

In the old days, even people with
considerable breadth of view
would subscribe for such a news
paper because they felt it was
their duty to support a denomi-
national organ, whereas now it is
only a small minority which ac-
knowledges any such obligation"

And not by eastern windows only,
When Daylight comes, comes in the light
In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly,
But westward look, the land is bright.
Somehow, how / know not,
Bishop Spalding recalls to my
mind Matthew Arnold. There is
the same large way of looking at
things, the same magnificent hab-
it of rising above petty consider
ations, and the same impersonal-
ity in discussion. One realizes
afresh the dlctum that the man of
no range in his reading must al

this marvellous literature, so rich
in wisdom and understanding. SO
universal in its ethical applica-
ton, and yet so disregarded, Sc
neglected; nay more, so abused

instance, written by the sceptic
Mrs. Besant:
"While Christianity fears God,
labors for heaven, strives to avoid
hell, obeys revelation, Atheism
goes on its way, fearless of aught
save untruth; 1t knows no God, it
works for earth alone, it recog-
nizes utility as its only guide,
human happiness as its only aim.
1t bids all men think, without
dread of damnation; it bids all
men speak without dread of hui
man punishment; it proclaims
that all men owe to society the
duty of thought, and the duty of
uttering thought, and that those
men serve best their country and
their age whose thought is most
diverse from the general thought,
and most untincturel by the or
thodoXy of the day"
Who could read John Fiske's
"Idea of God, or Through Nature
to God" without feeling the shall
lowness of the above plea, which
avails against bigotry alone. Poor
suffering, struggling Ca!iban, has
already forsaken Setebos and
found the inetfable Quiet beyond.
Sectarianism is dying fast, and
ethicized religion waxing great.
Is not progress passing from the
heterogeneous to the homogene-
Gus, a solidifying as it were? Sure
ly, it is. Therefore the unifica-
ton of creeds is at hand. Behold
a sign! Apropos of the recent
consolidation of the Evangelist
and the Christian Work, the New
York Evening Post says: There
can be no question that the relig-
ious public will not any longer
support newspapers which are pri-
marily the organs of this or that
denomination, and which devote
the bulk of their space to it's sup
posed interests as a distinct body
of the Christian church. The
truth is that any such journal,
from the very necessity of the
case, must be narrow and dull.

Bishop SpaIding's Views on Religion


have received two books by
the Rt. Rev. j. l.. Spalding,
Bishop of Peoria, containing his
most recent words on questions
of the day. The titles are suffi-
GENTLY comprehensive: the first
Religion, Agnosticism, and Edu-
action, and the second, Socialism
and Labor. / have not opened
the second yet, nor will for some
time, inasmuCh as the first offers
food for immense reflection. One
misses in Bishop Spalding's writ
ings that wooden adherence to
old methods so prevalent amongst
those whose function it is to pre-
serve theological conservatism.
He has stepped across the line of
intolerance and meets his reader
face to face. To him cannot be
applied the caustic remark of
Matthew Arnold that what is
called orthodox theology is, in
fact, an immense misunderstand-
ing of the Bible, due to the juno
tion of a talent for abstruse rea-
soning with much literary mex
perience."
In the essay on religion, there
appears a Fiskian concentration
of thought, an absence of meta
physical word juggling, and SUBJ
lime plea for honest religion ex-
pressed in incisive language.
Religion, he maintains, must al
ways form an integral part of
each and every mans being for
four ineradicable belief that all
things exist and act in obedience
to the law of causation is, at
bottom, faith in God"
To the writer it has always been
q sad reflection that although al
most two thousand years have
passed since Christianity was
first introduced upon this earth,
the tiger is as rampant amongst
us rs amongst the fanatic follow
ers of Mahomet in the early days
of European civilization. Every
where the greed for ngold exists,
everywhere we see civic corruption
and national faithlessness, and
the bounding on of the dogs OF
war. The Sermon on the Mount
appears to be virtually discarded
and we even read of eminent
divines declaring, as in the re-
cent, church congress that Bible
ethics will no longer apply to the
times. Bishop Spalding faces the
complaint thus: 1t is obvious
to oiect that the world in
which we now live. after nineteen
centuries of Christian influence,
presents scarcely more than a
caricature of the ideal here con.
templated. There is in it little

of the enthusiasm, largeness Of
purpose, of the greatness Of
thought welded to greatness of
soul, little of the warm spontane-
Gus devotion to what is eternally
true and good, little of the valli-
ant suffering for others which 90
to the making of our conception
of Christ How often is what we
call faith in Him q cause of hat
red and discussions, how narrow
our sympathies, how cherries our
view of the future, how morose
our spirit, how vexatious and dis
heartening the restrictions and
prohibition by which we try to
stem life's current in things in
nocent. He seems to be almost
as far above and beyond us today
as lie was above and beyond the
world into which He was born
nineteen hundred years ago. But
however remote we still be from
the ideal he has given us, which
is himself, when we look back we
see that the world has moved
if slowly, nevertheless certainly,
toward God.
Ambition, greed and lust, in
deed, still lay waste the earth,
still lame thechurch; rulers, civil
and ecclesiastic, are often weak
and restless and blind, if not cor
rupt. Nations still Cypress and
crush the weaker people, but when
we turn to the past, We perceive
that, in spite of the evil which is
everywhere, progress has been
made. If we consider individuals,
thousands are now holy for one
who in ancient times was merely
virtuous. Thousands merge their
lives in the general good for orr
who but sought to obtain for him
self an illumined mind and tran
quill heart. Thousands have con-
fdence that Gods will shall pre-
vail on earth, that the kingdom
of heaven shall come, for one who
of old entertained visions of some
more perfect city, and this saintli-
less, this unselfishness, this sub
lime trust is found not chiefly
among the rich and cultivated,
but above all, among the poor
and overburdened. The moral
standard has been raised, and the
good man is no longer one who
obtains from wrong, but one who,
like Christ, goes about to serve
and to help. The prohibitive
code which prevailed in Israel has
been transformed into the law of
loving, benefcent action. Man
has become conscious of his death
less spirit, feels that even now he
is immortal, that the destroyer
but rends the vesture and leaves
the soul unscathed; that the

essential evil therefore, is not
death, but sin.
To such an answer one could
almost apply Frederic Harrison's
famous declaration regarding
Posltivism
Religion, so reconstructed, will
lose much of its rapturous and
ecstatic character. 1t will gain
in solidity, constancy and breadth
Instead of being n thing of trans
cendental hopes and fears, stimu-
lated on Sundays and occasional
moments, but laid aside, if not
doubted, for the rest of mans
active time, religion will be a
body of scientific convictions,
poetic emotions, and moral habits.
in close relation with all our
thoughts, acts and feelings, and
naturally applying to everything
we do, or desire, or think. 1t
will be part of the citizens daily
life. more social than personal,
more civic than domestic, more
practical than mystical. 1t will
give ample scope to the personal,
the domestic, even the mystical
side of human nature, within the
control of reason and the claims
of active duty. Religion will
thus mean the guidance of right
living by the light of personal and
social duty as taught by a sys-
tematic Sociology, Its creed will
be a synthetic Philosophy, resting
on the general body of positive
science. And its worship will be
the expression of loyalty to hui
mainly in all ITS phases, as mani
tested in its true servants, the
known or the unknown, the living
or the dead, of all ages and of
every race.
Speaking of Christ's tolerance,
Bishop Spalding says: His
divine sympathy gives insight,
and the world at length perceives
and understands that the fallen
woman, the thief, the murderer,
are not wholly without excuse ;
but that part of their guilt must
be thrown on the environment in
which they have been reared and
perverted. The home, the state,
