FROM OUR EXCHANGES

with contributions from Lyman Abbott, William S. Morgan

[Christian World.]

Religion is an integral and necessary element in human affairs. We cannot, as communities, get on without it. Among the competing faiths Christianity exhibits itself as the religion of the foremost races. It holds its place as, in its essence, a manifestation of the highest life. During its through the ages it has been encrusted with divers errors and evils, but has developed in itself the force by which these contradictories have been successively discovered and thrown off. In all ages, in our own not the least, where its spirit has been loyally accepted, it has developed the noblest types of humanity, has shown its capacity to lift the soul to the highest possibilities. Its future depends on the extent to which it prunes itself of its excrescences, and works on its ultimate principle, as the pure love of God and the pure love of the brotherhood of man.

[Christian Work and Evangelist.]
