shadowlng the birth Of new religion
growing out of the ideals Of the past,
Rev. Algernon Crapsey. deposed rector
of the Protestant Episcopal Church OF
Rochester, N. Y, addressed a large
audience here in horticultural Hall yes
terday. Following the thought that the
idea Of God originated 10 nature and
exists in nature at ali times, DR.. Crap
sey traced the conception from the
NEUROLOGICAL worship of Jupiter to the
Jehovah of the Semitic races, and thence
to Christ, OF whom he said;
"Christ was the intellectual child OF
Elijah, Isaiah and the other thinkers Of
his nation, and was 30 filled with his
own divinity that 1t shone as. light and
radiated his garments. When he died
men said this was God and began to
gather myths about his memory and to
make of that memory divinity. Then
the philosophers made of the simple man
of Galilee an emanst,on from God
The theological Christ was never the
God of the common people, and the GEN.
trail sorship became the worship Of Mary,
the mother of Jesus, succeeded by the
thought that man could regain the favor
of God through the intercession Of
saints" The conceptions Of the past,
said DR.. Cropsey, we're but working
theories concerning the world of man
kind and the new divinity at the thresh-
old is the divinity of common man.
