DR.. EIiot's Religion Of the Future

The opinions Of DR.. CHARLES WILL
IAN ELIOT on 1.-THE Future Of Religion
are interesting. as most things are tina
come from that vigorous and coura-
geous thinker. Yetwhy should the future
Of religion not be like its past or
present? Most people are essentially
the same; their hopes and their ideas
Of happiness here and hereafter are
founded on simple and ancient beliefs.
There will be no miracles In the fu-
ture religion, DIR. ELIOT says. Then re-
ligion will not be Of this world or the
next, since both to most men have been
and are perpetual miracles. Indeed,
the mere existence Of men, women, "a
therhood, motherhood, childhood, love,
faith Is a miracle. The atmosphere Of
wonder and ncomprehensibility oils
the universe; and the supernatural so
called may be stranger and more mys-
FERROUS in degree but not in kind than
the sOcalled natural and normal.
So Dr. ELIOT would extract the poetry
from religion. And he supplants it by
force:
1.-THE Creator is for modern men a sleep
less, active energy and will. Ha is recos-
nized chiefly in the wonderful energies of
sound light and electricity
Yet men Of science have no faith In
magic or miracles" What is more mar
vellous than the magic or miracle OF
these marvellous energies:
There will be nothing like dogma
or creed in twentieth century religion
Yet the ma jority must have dogma. q
creed. some sort OF reasoned II not rea'
sonable scheme of the universe.
We fancy that the future Of religion
will be much like its past.
