THB FAITHS OF THE WORI,D.
And the One True Failh.
%lNovr faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of
thinorfl ttrtfc aeon "
While the faitha of the world are
many; there is but one true faith.
The true faith is as these words declare?substance.
Substance is that which stands
under and holds up all things. One
of the great lessons we have to learn
is the wonderful uniformity and simplicity
of the divine method.
To religious ignorance and prejudice
other religions are heathenism
and superstition. It seems ommon
to believe that one religion was
divinely given and that all others
were invented for mans destruction.
But when the complete religion
comes it will make an end of all
these prejudices.
It will behold the one in the all and
the all inthe one. It will understand
and justify all the unnumbered ways
by which all people have grown into a
realization of divine life. This one
religion will be both individual and
associative. It will be a personal relation
between the individual and a
sense of oneness with all others in
such fellowship and freedom of
thought and lif?

faith demands. On the way to this
beautiful consumation there arc
many degrees of advancement. We
must discover the essentials and let
go the non-essentials.
The greatest possible discovery we
can make is that of the nature of
revelation. It is only when we understand
this that we shall find our
understanding planted on the rock
of ages.
As our mind glances over the face
of the world, we behold millions
worshipping by the faith of Brahmanism,
other millions, nearly a
third of our race, by the faith called
Bhuddism; other millions holding
their duties to heaven and the
spirits by the teachings of Confucius
or Laortze, the two great teachers of
China.
Then we look again and behold
vast millions who bow toward Mecca,
declaring there is hue one God
and Mahomet Ilis Prophet; while
nearer home beneath a myriad of
forms or denominations the great
civilised people of America are looking
to God through Christ. Is
there any law of uniformity that
will bring all these together and

such a discovery is possible, surelj
it is the lifting up of the standard tc
i which all people shall be gathered
Whatever of vitality there is ir
Brahmanism, Bhuddism, Confucian'
ism or Christianity it is in exact
proportion to the measure of their
ministry to their devotees from this
one life and substance or Divine
Power.
All the varied sects and cults
that have lived their day or are still
pursuing their devious ways have
been connected with some realization
in their founders of the nature of
this substance to be known in Revelation.
In this substance or consciousness
enjoyed with intelligence, are all the
four mingled delights of Ileaven and
earth, for faith is the substance of
things hoped for. It saves the spirit
from loneliness. It enables us to
know spiritual things as more real
than those of matter. It redeems
1 "
uuu navestne body. It saves the
soul. We cannot have this faith by
knowledge. We must live it also.
We cannot have it by love apart
from truth and worth; nor by the
seeking of truth without the love for
each in all and all in each. The vitality
of every faith or religeon is to
be measured by the degree in which
it brings the believers into intelligent
conscious relation with Divine
Power. When we reach to this
state we can have no word of impatience
or condemnation for any
other religious faith or worship.
This is the faith that saves the
world with a perfect judgment, consumation
and restoration of all
things hoped for.
It was this spirit of faith which
influenced the honest, intelligent
representatives of the faiths of the
world to assemble at Chicago with
love and fellowship to worship together
and acknowledge five holy
books of Revelation.
Since ever human beings have aspired
or thought they have felt that
there was a great unseen intelligent
force guiding and directing them.
"When will you believe that neither
in this mountain nor yet in Jeiusalem
shall men worship the Father?
The hour cometh and now is when
true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth, for the
Father seeketh such to worship him.

f Though Elisha was animated by
1 religious zeal there was some pas>
sionateness of his own mixed with it
when he said to Jehoram, "As the
i Lord liveth before whom I stand,
i surely were it not that I regard the
; presence of Jehoshapath, King of
' Judah, I would not look toward thee
i nor see thee." The spirit of prophei

he was softened and compromised.

all anger, clamor and evil

tender hearted, forgiving one another.
This is true devotion and can
be practiced by the humblest.
