About .uos; things their Ideas are clear-cut,] and tii ir judgments are intelligently fori d; but In reference to religion, th ir thoughts arc often immature and their reasoning fallacious. Some ? .-??tui to think that the essential part] of religl oi is a syst? m of doctrine ; upon which the faithful have written 1 the label "orthodoxy" ami that the! chief duty of a religionist Is t<? de? end 11 system when it Is assailed i>,\ another. Others seem to think! ; doctrines a; <? of secondary im portace.
