Unity of Religion.

Religion has many expressions. but
religion is one. 1t Is the endeavor of
the soul to experience a consciousness
of God. This endeavor has taken many
forms. BY sacrifices. by mystic rites
by temple ceremonies. by prayers, by
idol worship-in various ways men
have given expression to the desire
which Is innate in the human breast.
But whether by the one or the other
whether the prayers were addressed to
Zeus, Varuna, Jehovah or God, all have
been feeling after Him If haply they
might find Him. And all have in some
measure found Him. for He Is not far
from any of us. and hath not left Him
self without witnesses among any peo-
pie. Religion. therefore. Is n larger
word than Christianity. = Unitarian
