Actual Communion ,
With God Beyond
Scientific Test Proof

Detroit, oct. Ono scientific test
will ever prove that man, in his hour
of devotion, actually communes with
God, Rev. Diworth Lupton of Cleve-
land told the delegates to the Goth
biennial meeting of the General Con-
ference of Unitarian and other
Christian Chuches here tonight.
Without faith in actual commune
ion with God" Mr.. Lupton declared,
'the strongest characters in the his
tory of the world. from Jesus to
Abraham Lincoln and Phillips
Brooks, must have been created by
delusion."
Speaking on the same platform
with DR.. William L. Sullivan of New
York City and Rev. J. H. Dietrich of
Minneapolis ,on what Unitarianism
stands for, Mr.. Lupton said:
Religion is like a great structure
built upon two giant pillars. One Of
these pillars is service, the other is
communion with God. If either pill
lar crumbles, the structure will fall
hoSl WIZ 10 Illc al eleIHeUL OF Tollg-
ion: communion with God is the
spiritual
without faith in communion with
God the world would be morally
poverty stricken. Belief that souls
are able to commune has been the
greatest force for the development of
morality and for the building of hu-
man character that the world has
known.
I'm the company Of the prophets
and Jesus could be cited scores of
other moral geniuses who believe
that the consciousness that stirred
within them was the spirit of God.
What of Paul, Augustine, Francis
Assist. Wesley, Claiming, Parker.
Lincoln and Brooks? Their faith in
Gods presence was the source of
their moral zeal and influence. It
does not seem logical to suppose that
the strongest characters in the his
tory of the world were created by a
delusion."
