Christ had a horror of labels; He abolished all artificial barriers by calmly ignoring them. He cared not a jot whether a man was a Jow or a Samaritan or a Roman or a Greek. He rather preferred Gen tiles and Dissenters, because they were less proud and exclusive than the children of Abraham.

This theory makes it impossible to think of God as just or marci- fui, unless we use these words in a different sense from that which they bear when we use them of our fellow-creatures.

He attached no importance to professions of allegiance. "Not one that faith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the "will of My Father who is in Heaven.". Te shall know men by their fruite." "Who zre My mother and My brethern? They that do the will of God." So great was His fear of militant institu- tionalism that He founded no or ganisation, and enjoined only pri- vate prayer. The whole spirit of the gospel, the spirit of love, sym- pathy, wide tolerance, and inward- hess, is utterly opposed to the re- ligion of labels and shibboleths. Whether. He even preached beyond the territorial hits of orthodox Judaisin or not, in principle He threw down all barriers, and St. Paul in no way went beyond the limita of the universalism of the Gospel itself.

But the demon of labels and libels has not been exorcised; it has only been diverted into another channel. Laymen are inclined to smile at the verbal missiles which ecclesiastics still hurl at each other. But what are we to say about national and racial animo sity? The combination of religions and racial prejudice, reinforced by economic jealousy, has produced some of the most disgraceful episodes in history,
