FROM OUR EXCHANGES

with contributions from A. P. Doyle, R. J. Hutcheon

[Universalist Leader.]

At every step in thought and conduct the Master broke down the traditions of religious exclusiveness. He challenged every prejudice, he ignored every precedent, he outraged a very ancient tradition which had built up a barrier around religion. He spent his life with outsiders. He scandalized the pious people of his day by associating with publicans. His enemies charged him with moral looseness because he ate and drank with the unchurched. They could not understand his philosophy. What they thought was the result of irreligious carelessness, was really the outcome of a magnificent conception of how a great work was to be done.
