Belief Gives Power

Chicago Record-Herald

"WHAT have a Man's Beliefs to do with his Salvation?" was the theme discussed yesterday by Rev. W. Hanson Pulsford at the Church of the Messiah, Twenty-third Street and Michigan Avenue. He said in part:—

The old idea that a man's eternal destiny for weal or unutterable woe depended on his acceptance of certain theological tenets is rapidly passing out of sight.

Salvation is coming to have a new and finer meaning. It rightly stands for a present condition; for vigorous, healthful life in the highest sense. The measure of a man's salvation is the measure in which he is realizing the finest range and capacity of his nature at the highest. Now, in this sense, his beliefs are indeed the essential condition of salvation.
