FROM OUR EXCHANGES

[The Universalist Leader.]

What makes us real disciples of Christ? To devote ourselves to those ministries of helpfulness which were the substance of his mission and which led the people to call him "Messiah." We are friends of Christ only when we are messianic men ourselves, engaged in works of relief and righteousness. We shall believe a great many things, but our essential Christianity will be the spirit of our lives. We shall observe various forms or rites, but our true discipleship will always be measured by our goodness. We shall be saved, not by lazily believing that he brought in the kingdom, but by the works of justice and mercy which we ourselves do to establish the kingdom. His love for humanity made Jesus the Messiah; our love for men can alone make us Christians.
