The stories of Adam and Eve, the Virgin birth, the fall of man. the bodily rosurrection the doc- trine of hell and eternal punish-. ment, etc., which were all "osson- tials" of the old religion, are now admitted to be non-essential by the most serious-minded and intel-. ligont of our Protestant ministors. By this they mean that we must open our eyes to the fact that Christianity is tainted with Pagan superstition,
Modernism belleves in the ovolu- tionary theory of religions, just as it believes 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, anern- ments, and symbols are merely the trappings of religion.
Real religion is the law of loving kindness, whielt will eventually build heaven upon earth.

When we come to believe 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 the body. We can never hope, to build heaven upon earth till wo believe in the divinity of humanity.
