[Christian Work and Evangelist.]
Religion, then, is relationship, not creed. Christianity is friendship with God and man. How simple it all is! Now, to be a Christian is simply to accept God's offer of His friendship and extend one's own friendship throughout all human relationships till one has good will to all men. To be a Christian is to walk all one's way in company with the great companion, the good comrade, the unchanging lover of our souls, who is nearer than nearest friend, who inspires our noblest impulses and smiles upon our heroic endeavor. To be a Christian is to have the same friendship toward him he has to us, to be in harmony with all his purposes, to make his will our own, to take every new step in conscious fellowship with him. How simple, but how divine. Can any one feel that religion to Jesus was anything but this, this friendship with his Father? Turning to the manward side, to be a Christian is to be friends with everybody and undertake every human relationship in the spirit of friendship. We are greatly hoping that the churches are going to return soon to this simply conception of religion given it by its Founder, as friendship between God and man, and man and man. We see signs of it everywhere.
[Churchman.]
