An AII-Inclusive Religion.
"All religions" said Abbas Effendi.
"are subsantially the same; there Is
no real difference. The difference is
only in nmes. There were once a

1t removes fanaticism from all sects."
And l verify believe that Abbas Ef-
dendi practices his creed. for he is a
gentle. kindly man; who, however, has
no conception whatever of the high in
exorableness of truth. Gen. Lew Wal
lace's aphorism: Better law with
out love, than love without law" would
not appeal to him None the less, his
high. fine ideals. embodying as they
do. the commonplaces Of Christianity,
are in consonance with the spirit OF
the age. and we may expect to see Be
haism grow and prosper, especially
among sentimental persons. Its claim
to be the final and universal religion
is scarcely tenable. since 1t has not
bones enough to stand the scaipels OF
the scholars.
