Buddah and Confucius professed followers of are estimated at 420,000,000. Mohammedans number more than 200.000, 000. Christians, including Roman Oath olie, Greek Church and Protestant, are computed at 400,000,000. The whole of Eastern Asia is occupied by the Buddhists, India by the Brahmans, Africa, Australia and the South Sea islands by the pagan tribes. Parts ot Europe, Asia and Africa by the Mohammedans, the largest part of Europe and America by Christians. The conservative classifications of the re of the world were such as these true ural, and false religions, revealed, natural spiritual and super- and nat pagan and superstitious. Such a classification is not oniy - confusing s but to the student of corupara tiy religions is unjust> for every system contains some truth. A better classification is: 1. Tribal. 2. Ethnic. ?' Catholic. The tribal includes all sys terns which have no ritual, priesthood, creed, sacred writings, architecture or music. The ethnic religions are confined to one nation; such, which for example, thousand was the religion of Egypt, national for a years was limited to its borders, The system of Assyria was confined to Assyria; the Hellenic religion of Greece that was of con fined to the race; Rome to the Romans; of Confucius to China; Brahmanism is confined to India, and the faith of the Eddas was limited to the Scandinavian or Teutonic races. The Catholic systems, in spirit and method, know no limit in either time or ter ritory. They aspire to conquer the world. Such were Moses, Zoroaster, Bud dah, Mohammed and Jesus. Ethnic relig ions were evolved out of their own life. j | Catholic clueed systems promulgated were formulated, by inspired intro and an j prophet. .. It is not my purpose to trace , the origin ' of religion, the evolution development, or ! or to compare the merits of each, but to ! very briefly direct attention to certain I forms or doctrines common to all. Such conception is either just or unjust, true or false, right or wrong, degraded, though no faith, even among the most is en tirely destitute of some truth concerning God. Christianity is the one system which has an adequate' Jehovah, disclosure Jesus of became the attri- in butes of because carnate the reveal the Father. “He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father.” And even Christianity cannot condense in a single definition 'a comprehensive descrip tion of the Supreme Being, for the idea is not simple but complex. The lowest con j ception ls belief of in God spiritual is known as animism, opposed which to ! powers unformulated as i materialism. It is the no j Eon of the most undeveloped tribes, and I has no place in the Christian system ex cept i as clarified and perfected in angel o] gy ftnd denionologv . Polytheism is found principally in the ethnic systems, In Egypt the divine elements were seen dwelling in nature. The Greek deities were not personifications, but persons, di vine men and women. In the Vedie Hymns of India tlm forces of nature are spiritualized into objects of reverence and love. The most marked form of pantheism appears in the Hindu religion, wdiicli is in its extreme development, that the uni verse is God, and God is the universe, Christian science savors of it. The doc trine of the divine imminence may be so foreed as to eliminate the personality of God. Ditheism is belief in two hostile powers which was a tenet of Zoroastrian ism. Triads appear in the ethnic and Cath olic systems. The Christian doctrine of the trinity is a necessary and natural concern tion or God, and becomes clear if it is understood to represent Him as one in es sence but three in form. Monotheism .is principally characteristic of the Catholic i systems, though traces are found in the j pagan and ethnic. Deeply imbedded in j mighty ever y heart personality, is the and eonvit.,on that such of person- an Al ality is back of all forms and images, and that the latter becomes efficacious because 0 f the power of God. yy, possible theories about the origin the universe are reducible to four. «rh a j it had no beginning, but ha;: existed either in its present or form. While tlie eternity of has matter been advocated by some it never come a popular belief, and it does not peal to modern science. But among primitive R. tha j tribes ii we ]- presume, f God without many ;anc wor 0 mencemenfc and culmination. 2. That came by a process of evolution. This orv had been modified in recent years Biblical scholars and philosophical hearty ers, with the result of a most ceptance on the part of some studenas and devoted scientists. 3. other view is that it came by a of emanation. The difference between lution and emanation seems to be, that former is a growth up to and including certain completeness, while the latter g an “with the dark abyss of infinite and by means of a series of emanations fallings away from this inconceivable essence, and gradually intelligent reached creation.” an Creator an theory is Oriental in its origin, first in the cosmogony of the Hindus. Conservative Christian scholars arc vided on this doctrine. Some hold God created, that is, actually brought into existence, the material of which all things were fortned. hold that He simply cut, carved and ioned the universe out of pre-existing terial. It is difficult to say iust what is acceptable to the majority of scholars.

Letiisimoke ihe aini able name of Aditi. Agm, die god of lire, is addressed as the Divine Monarch. In China the worship of ancestors is con stantly practiced. On an Assyrian tablet are found these words: “May I never feel the anger and wrath of God. The ancient Mexicans addressed God, "The God by whom we live, l liou omnipresent, \Vho knoweth all out thoughts, and giveth ail g£ts. rhey baptized chi dren with t his tormina, ijet these ho.> uiops wash away ^he sin that it received before tne iounda tion of the world so that the child may ha new horn. In the Latholic religions we discover an element less conspicuous than in the others. It is pardon for past sins, reconciliation with God and growth in grace. It wouM be interesting to trace tinder this division the practice ot sacrifice, hymnology and other forms that enter into worship, but we pass on. Inspiration implies that man must have a capacity to be inspired, which makes it a human faculty and therefore common to all. Inspiration inward truth, in its largest truth which sen^e is is the sight of a seen within the mind. A thought will come while one is walking, conversing, reading or meditating. It is a kind of inspiration. Poets have been have inspired to write poetry. Scientists been in spired to formulate the sciences, musicians to compose music, Columbus to discover, Newton and Edison to both discover and invent. quality, Inspiration religious differs being the in quantity highest. and The Vedas and Zend Avesta are considered inspired by their cult. The Mohammedans believe the Koran is inspired of God and therefore infallible, and Christians make the same contentions for the Scriptures, There is a low and crude form of inspira j tion among the undeveloped races, which ; is not committed to writing. The Samoieds of Liberia have diviners who work them* . into frenzy be to delivering selves a re ora cles. The notion of inspiration Pythian appeared in the insanity of the priestess and the Greek diviners who fell into trances. In the religion of Greece it ap peared as an alien element. The wild dances of the Bacchantes, the shrieks and self-lacerations of the Corybtantes were considered form^ of inspiration. In the Hindu religion seeks it appears God in withdrawing the Yoga, that is one who by from the things of sense.

Sometimes in out- own have country, “jerks.” at protracted Shakers meetings, dance, men the The the Mohammedans whirl. These seem ab sul d to us, but they disclose this, that all mankind would ascertain the will of God. From time immemorial the human race has had some intimation of an endless life. The most degraded savages and the most conviction enlightened that death philosophers share the all. does not end The Hottentot, and the Fiji Islander agree with Plato and Aristotle. The Esquimaux in. the Arctic circle, the native of Siberia, the that Australians, the is tue Patagonians cradle believe grave the of another life. All the religions of antiquity believe in immortality, Greece, Rome, Egypt, Mexico, China, Peru, India, the Tar- Per gia, tar tribes of Central Asia, the negroes of Central and Western Africa and the isl ands of the Pacific, all contend that while the body returns to dust, the spirit goes to God, Indian Who gave it. The North Arner fi-an believes in duplicate souls, one departing remaining during with the body, the other sleep. It has been claimed by some that Buddhism is an ex ception, but it is not. The teaching of Buddh : sm is to annihilate by the destruc tion of desire. It is not claimed that this j s successful, but that the spirit becomes incarnate in one form or another until it rests in Nirvana, 'ihe transmigration of souls was taught by the religion of Egypt, hence found they embalmed their dead. Greek It is in Brahmanism, among the philosophers—Pythagoras, Plato. By the Neo-Piatonists, Empedocles Jewish and Cabbala, Arab philosophers, by origin and other church fathers. Also by the Gnos tics, Manicheans, times by Druids and Christianity in more re cent Fourier. be h.-ves in eternal life, and that Jesus be came flesh, not oniy to disclose God, but to bring life and immortality to light, Man is a moral being, because he has a moral nature. He has a moral sentiment, moral ideas and a moral power. The moral sentiment is the sense of right and wrong, and obligation. winch produces Moral ideas a feeling of duty tbe consist in belief that certain acts are right, others wrong. Moral power is the ability to do the thought right and will not the wrong. Feeling, and cannot be elimin mated from any moral test. Event the childlike races have some conception of much right below and wrong, the Christian though often standard; very enough, who however, to be classed among those are not without God. But few, if any, have been discovered without enough and moral ability the to say yes to the right no to wrong. It-is i:o. de nied that the moral standard is different in each system, and that what may be right in one may be -wrong in another, The temples of India and China encourage vices which are too low to mention.
