FROM OUR EXCHANGES

[Christian World.]

Religion is immortal, because it represents the world's highest life. But its immortality does not mean the immortality of its forms. Their successive decay and disappearance are simply the preparation for newer ones which shall more adequately express its ever-growing vitality. Observe, as one illustration of this, what has been happening to the Bible. No instructed person now believes in its infallibility, in its verbal inspiration. It offers itself to us now as a human product, and thereby has opened for itself a fresh career full of new interests. Taken so, it comes to us as more than ever divine, because it is the deepest product of that humanity in which God seeks ever to incarnate Himself.
