The stories of Adani and Eve. the Virgin birth, the fall of man, the bodily resurrection the doc- trine of hell and eternal punish- ment, etc., which were all "esson- tials" of the old religion, are now admitted to be non-essential by the most serious-minded and intel- ligent of our Protestant ministers. By this they mean that we must open our eyes to the fact that - Christianity is tainted with Pagan superstition.
[· Modernism believes in the evolu- tlanary theory of religions, just us it belleves in the evolution of our laws and customs (our bodies and our minds). It is busily engaged in clearing away the dead wood from the growing tree of religion. It shows us the Bible and the whole history of mankind In a new light. Creeds, ceremonies, sacra- ments, and symbols are merely the' trappings of religion.
Real religion is the law of loving kindness, which will eventually build heaven upon earth.
We squabble and fight about the Divinity of Christ, because Wo have not yet realised that what He tried to teach us was the Divinity of Humanity, Wo are all sons and daughters of God. When wo,come to bellove this there will be no need for any child to be "born in sin," because all children will be conceived of the spirit as well as Ithe body. We can never hope to build heaven upon earth till we believe in the divinity of humanity.
