Ignores Righteousness
By REV. GEORGE r. BURLINGAME
Pastor First Baptist Church

1t is with reluctance that one pre-
sumes to criticise the deliberate utter
ance of a scholar so giftsd and q citt-
zen so distinguished as the revered
teacher who retires from the presi-
dency of Harvard after a notable adj
ministration.
ct certain truths are so important and
certain principles so essential to human
welfare that for truths sake and for
society's sake common men may decline
to accredit the erroneous atfirmations
and daring speculations of even the
worlds great ones.
Voltaire it will be remembered, VEN
tured on prophecy as to the impend-
ing collapse of Christianity; but the
house in Geneva where he wrote his
diatribe is now used for a depository OF
the holy scriptures. Indeed, no century
has lacked for scholars to predict the
disintegration of traditional Christian
ityi but the gospel of Christ seems able
to give good account of itself even
yet.
DR.. Eliot would seem unable to rec
oncile in his view of God the two at
tributes of justice and love. Yet Jesus
himself spoke of Cod as the Holy
Father-holiness suggesting eternal
protest against sin, and Father testi-
flying of the love which is Of his very
essence. The trouble with this new

(Clow) characterizes this new religian

face The tide of pity and of social
interest is running so strong that 1t
has for the time swept US from our

from the God of infinite power and In

Want Eternal Religion
BY REV. WILLsIE NJ. MARTIN, pastor
First Methodist Episcopal church of
Alameda.

We have not reached the limits of
the religious earth. There are new con-
tinents of truth ahead of us. / agree
with Doctor Eliot that the greatest
word in the religious thought of today
is service. But I do not feel that that
requires any new religion. 1t is as at
least as old as the Hebrew prophets,
one of whom said: What does God re-
quire of thee, man, but to do justly; to
Loves mercy and to walk humbly with
thy Cod"
The new may have value, but it has
value only as it springs out of the ex-
periences of the past and has roots
that run back into the past. What we
want is an eternal religion. not a new
religion There may be fresh interpre-
tations of religious notions and growth
in religious consciousness, but if it is
healthy, as it should be, 1t must have
roots that run into the past

Methodism New Faith

DIR. S. III. WAINWRIGHT, presiding
elder of the st. Louis district NJ. Z.
church south:
ST. LOUIS, July 24.-"I do not wish
to be quoted in any way that would
reflect upon DR.. Eliot. He is an able
man. but he is a Unitarian, and natu-
rally believes that Unitarianism will be
what he is pleased to term the religion
of the future. With equal loyalty to
my faith. 1 am inclined to believe that
Methodism is to be the new religion.
Unitarianism, practically, is 1000 years
old. and has been characterized by slow
advancement.
'Methodism is 100 years old and has
at the present time 100000 adherents.
If Unitarianism in the future does not
advance any more aggressively than it
has in the past DIR. Eliot's prophecy
will be most long in fulfillment 1t is
ridiculous to contemplate any religion
of the future with the supernatural ex-
cluded.'

No Everlasting I orment
BY REV. w. ELLSWORTH LAWSON,
Pastor Pilgrim congregational Church,
Oakland


1t is hard to pass an opinion at this
distance on "the new religion" outlined
in the address given by President Eme-
ritus Charles w. Eliot of Harvard.
Phrases which he employs may mean
one thing to him and another thing to
another man.
l do not think that the Christian sac
raments as we have them will pass
away. as DR.. Eliot seemed to think. I
coincide with his idea that there will
be no condemnation visited on the mass
Of people or on any of the people in the
old conception of everlasting torment.
Justice of Cod is an involved phrase.
and I can not tell what he means Low
ing God and serving mankind are not
new as religious teachings, and they
will survive in any age Temporal or
spiritual authority as elements of re-
ligious life as we have known them at
some periods may pass away

Religion Brotherly Love
By REV. JOSEPH S. DAVID, Pastor
Swedenborgan Church.


DR.. Eliot no doubt was right when
he said the new religion would not be
passed on authority. Relief in authority
Is rettered, chained condition of
thought. But 1 think that DR.. Eliot
does not go far enough. 1t would have
been better if he would have recog-
nlzed the divine revelation as nationally
perceived, the revelation concerning
the ommorality of the soul, the higher
planes OF human consciousness and the
highest principles of morality. But our
belief in divine revelation should not
be martyr of authority, but should be
based upon an interior PERCEPTION that
is true.
The deeper truths shine by their own
light and appeal to our rational pre-
ceptions. This great truth was empha-
sized by Emanuel Sedenborg, who gave
TO the world vast spiritual philoso-
ply, whose truths are evidenced by
their appeal to our higher thought and
our rational faculty, and not to au-
thority.
Hence we do not merely believe in
the souls immortality-for example
but we realize it, somewhat as we know
that the interior angles of every tri-
angle are equal to two right angles.
The new religion. therefore, will be
based upon divine reveal ton, a salts
factory understanding of that revela-
ton and the application of it to the
rue Christian life. We will love God
because we know him and therefore
can love him as divine love and wis
dom, as the central life of our being
And we will love the neighbor deeply
and truly because we realize that 1
a him and he is me, and we will have
a conception of the unlimited possible
Titles of his being. The religion of the
future will be brotherly love guided
by wisdom and binding all souls to-
gether in true citizenship and happy
fellowship, while all industries will be
cooperative.
