Reliuion of the Future.

From President Eliot's Religion Of
the Future" it appears that the prog
ress Of the nineteenth century far out
stripped that of similar periods"
far perhaps as that Of the last twenty.
five years has in turn outstripped it..
The new ideas Of Cod which it has
produced give the basis for a new
twentieth century religion superior to
all others. Some of these new ideas
are monotheism, immanence, Gods
love, the alteration (dulia, not latfia)
Of all righteous persons, and the
tendency toward progress" 1t rejects
polytheism, apotheosis, tribal religion,
sudden change of character, mediation,
dogma, mystery, sacraments, the fall
Of man, alienation from God and the
condemnation Of the majority. 1t alb
jures the devil and will attack all his
works quickly; it will teach that he is
best who loves best and serves best,
and the greatest service will be to in
crease the stock Of good will.
Middletown transcript., 1917-03-17

In the axis, or upper burial ground
Of Germantown, there is tombstone
which gives the age of him who lies
beneath it, one John Adams, as six
hundred and siXty-nine years, says
Philadelphia Public Ledger. The rec
ords, 1 believe, snow that his age was
rightly sixty-nine, and the explanation
given is that the stonecutter cut his
nine first and then found he had no
room for the six. So he filed in the
nine with cement and cut behind his
first markings. Time having worn out
the cement reveals the tomb Of an an
cient fit to be classed with those men,
toned in Genesis.
