\ New View We find much that Is
or God appealing In the new
And Man. theology -hat is making
such Roadway In Eng
land. Its objection to ecclesiastical
labels; its BELIEF IN the essential oneness
OF God and man, sharply differentiating
from the Unitarian theory which makes
great gulf between God and man:
its refusal to admit any essential dis
tinction between humanity and the
Diety Its insistence that all men are
divine, although in a lesser degree than
Jesus Christ; its treatment of the Bible
as literature "a unique record of re-
ligious experience instead of as a
fount of dogma; It's rejection of the

which makes one suffer for another's
fault; and, finally, its basing belief in
the Immortality of the soul only on the
ground that every individual conscious
ness Is ray of the universal con-
sciousness and cannot be destroyed--all
these are tenets of our own faith. But
one basic principle of the old theology
retained by the new we must reject alb
solutely. We do not believe that God

reality which is the source OF all things,
but Is itself still in process of fulfill
ment. In a manner which is suggestive

manity. The insistence of all sects
that God really is all~powerful has dono
more to retard the progress of true re-
ltgion, to create doubts and misgivings
and to check moral and spiritual devel-
opment than all other false teachings
combined. How many thousands, per-
hapS millions, have been driven from
the church, from Ideals. from uplifting
to down-bearing associations, by the
hideous picture of such being threat

all who do not visIbly fear and tremble
before Him, instead of letting them
live their lives with such clear con-
science as they might, manfully willing
to abide the consequences OF a fair
balancing or their good and evil deeds
as worthy creatures of a noble Maker!
