Creeds That Conflict with
Modern Conceptions of Justice.

The Lamb OF God was sacrificed for the SINS
of the world; and so some small proportion OF
the human race was rescued from eternal tor
ment TO justify by their eternal happiness, so
far they might. the original creation OF a
feeble race tricked into sin. The creeds OF tho
great churches diner as to the proportion Of the
race really rescued By the vicarious atonement
through Jesus Christ but they all agree IN
making this vicarious atonement necessary tn
the salvation OF any proportion OF the humAh
race.
In these days. the whole conception OF one
being-human or divine-sunerins. though in
nocent. for the sins OF another. or OF innumer-
able others. is revolving to the universal sense
OF justice and fair dealing. No family. no
school and court would venture to punish
the innocent. when the guilty we're known. in
order that the guilty might escape punishment.
Any human father would be outraged by the
suggestion that he had ever dealt could so
deal with his children; and yet every member
OF the great Christian churches is supposed to
believe that God deals In that way with the
human race: and that the victim offered Up for
the redemption OF q portion Of the human race
was. In a peculiar sense, tha son OF God

Doctrine of Fear

The churches have not relied on the essen

love OF freedom for the uplifting OF the race
but. on the contrary, mans tendency TO sin

War in Spite Of
Educational Progress.

This Is the immense moral catastrophe OF
these times. II has taken place In spite OF
much progress made within n hundred years
past I'm many parts OF the world In popular
education, humane literature, and public lib
erty. and OF the more fortunate men and
women 20 serve and help the less fortunate.
In nineteen hundred years the Christian insti-
tutions OF Ieligon-in other words. the highly
organized churches OF Christendom, have not
only been unable TO accomplish anything ef-
fectual toward preventing the frequent occur.
renee OF war but have often melted to war each
fits own nation or Its own race. and have made
hotter the patriotic fres which blaze up in war
time. Every ruler concerned with the present
war calls upon God to give victory TO his arms;
every one OF them believes. as firmly as David
or Joshua OF Saladin did. that the Lord Is
his side; and each people is putting up eager
prayers to its national God which cannot be
granted without denying the equally fervent
prayers which go up from its adversaries. and
is giving thanks for Victories for its side which
are cruel defeats for the other.
Moreover there comes from the churches to-
day effective Influences toward peace. but
only delusive consultations and vague wishes
and petitions. the granting OF which by the God
20 whom they are addressed would only per
petuate the present horrible state OF Europe.
Who could imagine that the chief teachings of
the founder Of the religion which these nations
and churches profess were. love God and the
. neighbor, and treat all men as brothers7
Clearly neither nations nor churches have ever
been truly Christian.
II is a fitting time, therefore, In which to
seek the reasons for the impotency OF the Chris
tian churches TO promote effectively the moral
and physical welfare 90 mankind on this earth
whatever they may claim to do in respect to
human happiness In another. The first explana-
tion Is that Institutional Christianity departed
early from the teachings OF the founder OF the
religion. and copied IN It's structure the author.

its doctrine the materalism OF the Roman

Changes Suggested Which
Would Increase Christian Efficiency.

Before the Christian churches can ne ex-
pected to be efficient I'm the promotion Of human
welfare, and particularly In the bringing OF
peace on earth. they must purge themselves OF
such doctrines as these. II is not enough 10
say In defense OF the churches that many
church members In good standing no longer be-
lieve these shocking doctrines: hey should be
eliminated from the published standards and
confessions OF the churches.
The historical Christian churches were early
made partners with empires. monarchies ami
baronies in the control and oppression % the
masses OF mankind. and. the governments being
maintained by force. the churches became, in
general supporters OF the military regime. This
was natural enough, because the God OF the
Christian churches. like Israels God. was com.
monty thought OF as Lord Of Hosts. God OF Bat.
