COMMUNICATIONS

To THE EDITOR OF THE REGISTER.
DEAR SIR: Perhaps. on the whole,
religious controversy is not desirable;
but there are times when it seems to
be necessary. more especially when
points OF fact, easily verifable, are at
stake. The last two Sunday morning
sermons given at the NJ. f. church by
DR.. Hall seem to me to require an
answer in a public manner.
The ostensible subject OF these two
sermon was THE Deity of Christ"
but it seems to me, from the one |
heard and the other sermon which was
reported to me, that the real object 0!
these m was an attack on Uni.
tartanism, based on inaccurate con-
ceptions and supported by incorrect
statements.
1t is to correct such i'm
pressions as were given out from the
pulpit, and to give a simple statement
Of facts relating to the Unitarian body
that l desire some OF your valuable
space.
To begin with let me state that the
good Doctor and / are friends and that
| do not in the least doubt his SINGER
ity. He began his sermon last Sum
day with an apology for continuing
the subject of a week before, stating
that nearly everyone believed in the
doctrine of the deity Of Christ, and he
disliked to attack those who were so
small as not to believe it. Now | hap
pen to be n of a gOOdly number OF
these heterogeneous 80 held in con
tempt by DR.. Hall and have the pre-
sumption to make reply.
His sarcastic references to Unitarians
as advanced thinkers whom nobody else
thought advanced is somewhat I'M
kind, but is easily disposed of. Uni
tartan thought is not fixed by dogma.
1t afirms that there is nothing more
sacred than truth, and the corollary
that in the light Of the progress OF
modern thought constant revision OF
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1907-05-23

old ideas must be made in the field OF
religion as we'll as science.
The medieval theology based on
crude and now outgrown conceptions
OF the world and the universe. The
barbaric idea Of God as a being who
wal tickle, wrathtul, jealous, upsetting
the laws OF his W creation to satisfy
the whims he was imagined to take,
taking a tiendish delight in ordering
the lsraelites to slaughter women and
children, or in consigning to ever
lasting fire those whom he had or
dained to suffer-all this has been
thrown aside by the good sense OF
nearly all modern thinkers, whether
they be orthodox or not.
The reason for this change OF
thought, which is held in substance
by people Of today, as | think DR..
Hall will admit, is not that God has
changed in the least, but that we have
higher ideas and ideals than those OF
three or four centuries ago. The
reason Tor these new ideas is found in
the new knowledge which we have
been acquiring, and which we gained
more especially from the nineteenth
century. Now, Unitarianism in its
essence is simply the spirit Of progress
in religious thought, being ever
willing to resdjust that thought as
new truth arrives.
Perhaps the greatest addition to new
thought received in the last century
was the doctrine OF Evolution concern
ing which, by the way, DR.. Hall
preached a sermon not long since,
and exhibited a surprising lack OF
familiarity with his subject, and
amused the scientific people Of the
city.
This matter of Evolution is in the
air. The brightest minds in all
churches accept it, including those OF
DR.. Halls own church. Every high
school and college is making evOlu-
tionists, and all the antagonism OF
those preachers who have not yet
caught the idea car not stop the
process.
The Unitarian body has been glad
to accept this great thought and incor-
porated it in it's religious thought
long before it vas accepted by ortho-
dox churches generally. This same
attitude of Unitarians toward all
t nth, wherever found, ought to justify
the term applied to them in derision:
advanced thinkers
Now, the good Doctor evidently
regards the principal part OF Uni
tartan thought as the denial of the
deity of Jesus. This is merely incl
dental. Our belief regarding him is
based on his own utterances, the
scholarship OF the greatest theo-
logians and historians, and our own
reason. No attempt has been made to
show that we regard this belief as new,
as intimated in DR.. Halls sermon.
In speaking of the Failure" Of Uni-
tartan thought DR.. Hall covers the
past nineteen centuries. Arianism is

New York. Jan. THAT the missing

She is eight days overdue, and since De-

yet her agents feel certain that she will

Steamship Company. which sailed from
Granada, in the Island OF Trinidad, De-
cember %, should have made this port
yesterday morning. but up to date not
a word has come from her. She comes
over the same track as the Ponce, hence
they believe she is probably towing the
Ponce. 1t is not thought probable that
two disasters could have occurred along
the same track within a few days
