RELIGION KNOWN
BEFORE THE BIBLE
Rev. C. A. LippinCott Tells
What Religion is in Address
to Impromptu Club Members
Recognition of God.

Scholarly in thought and masterful
IN delivery was the lecture given by
Rev. G. A. Lppincott Friday after
noon before the Impromptu club and
guests in the Progress club rooms.
The subject Of the lecture was What
is Religion ?" forming an appropriate
close 10 the club season which has
been devoted 20 the study Of the ten
great religions.
DIR. dppincott began his talk by
saying that If the essence of ''relig-
ion" as opposed 10 the church or
10 sect" were better understood.
most OF our personal bewilderment
and doubt would be obviated.
Religion, first OF all, said Or.
Lippincott, should not be confused
with theology. Theology is not re-
ligiOn. The various theOlOgies are
merely the record Of mems thoughts
upon religion. Religion is the fact
Theology is mans comments upon
that fact. AS the science of astrOnO-
my is not the stars, so theology is not
religion.
Religion is not ecclesiasticism.
The different churches are merely the
various expressions Of religion. They
have TO do with forms, with exter-
nails. Roman Catholicism, Judaism,
Mohammedism, Professionalism in its
various manifestations. are merely
various outward expressions Of the
larger fact. A man may be intensely
orthodox without being truly relig-
ious. The essence of theology is in
tellectual; the essence Of ecclesiastic-
ism Is political.
Neither is religion the Bible Re
ligion existed in David. before he
wrote his psalms, in Solomon before
he wrote his songs, in St Paul before
he wrote his burning epistleS. Even
IN the Christian era, when those first
brave workers went into the world.
they had no writings from which 10
preach Christ's work and far into the
middle ages after the Bible was com
piled. the vast majority OF Christians
were unable 10 read it,
Nor is religion emotion or senti-
ment. Religion itself is not felt, but
1t may and does engender certain
feelings or sentiments though it is not
dependent upon them for life. and a
man whose religion depends upon his
feelings or his emotions has a very
shaky foundation for his faith. for
feeling or emotion too frequently are
dependent upon ones digestive APP
paratus.
Lastly, religion is not morality.
Morality may be inspired by self re-
spect or the desire for the respect of
others. 1T may be merely selfish or
polite. True religion inspires NOR
atty and il is not true religion which
does not react in right living and
right doing, but right living and right
doing are the fruit of the tree; re-
ligion, the root.
Religion is rather the recognition
OF a divine relationship between a
supreme being, the author OF all
things. and man; a relationship based
upon love which inspires homage and
service for that loves sake alone. In
a family. one child may obey his
father through fear OF punishment
