And Other New Articles and Letters Religion 18 studied by this class of men not as some thing which we know through our inner experience, but as an external phenomenon, a disease as it were to which some people are subject, and which we can understand only in its external symptoms. Religion, according to some of these men, has sprung from the spiritualization of all the phenomena of nature (animism). According to others, from the idea of the possibility of communicating with departed ancestors. According to others again, from the fear of the powers of nature. And as science has proved - the scientists of our day further argue - that trees and stone cannot be animated, and deceased ancestors are no longer con scious of what the living do, and the phenomena of nature are explicable by natural causes, therefore the necessity for religion and for all those restraints which people impose upon themselves as the result of religious beliefs has disappeared. In the opinion of scientists there once existed a period of unenlightenment - the religious period. This was outlived by mankind long ago, but occasional atavistic symptoms remain. Then there came the metaphysical period, which also has been outlived. And now, we, the enlightened genera tions, live in the scientific period, - of positive science, - which replaces religion and leads mankind to a lofty degree of development which it could never have attained whilst it submitted to superstitious religious teaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Is Religion? And Other New Articles and Letters Always in all human societies, at a certain period of their existence a time comes when their religion begins to diverge from its fundamental meaning, then diverges more and more, loses this fundamental meaning, and finally crystallizes into permanently established forms; - when its influence upon the life of men grows weaker and weaker. At such periods, the educated minority, though no longer believing in the existing religious teaching, still pretend to believe, finding this religion necessary for holding the masses in the established order of life; whilst the masses, although adhering by the force of inertia to the established religion, are no longer guided in their lives by religious demands, but only by popular customs and state laws. So it has been, many times, in many human communities. But what is now taking place in our Christian Society has never before occurred.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Worship and Order I have all my life been an interested student of ecclesiastical and ecclesiological questions, so I ventured to publish in the quiet days of 1861 a book upon 'the English Cathedral of the Nineteenth Century, ' considered both as abuilding and as an - institution, and in 1874, at a time of great excitement, to bring out 'worship in the Church of England.' But I had been both before and after these dates, and down to the present day, a writer on the class of questions with which those books are concerned, as well in shorter articles and letters to newspapers, as in essays of the longer sort contri buted to reviews, and in papers read at the annual Church Congresses. The belief had grown up in my mind that the course of events was calling upon me to supplement my former books -with further matter, brought together in the solid shape of a volume. So upon turning back to the various essays which I had published, some with and others without my name, I satisfied myself that by grouping a selection of Congress papers and longer review-articles with regard to their subjects more than to their chronology, I could construct in a somewhat consecutive form a collection which should connect and supplement my former publications.

It is an aid, a guide in the study of the Scriptures, just as a textbook is a guide in the study 'of nature. The Book is the ultimate authority in religious truth, just as nature is the final source of information concerning her secrets.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Churches for Old: A Plea for Community Religion The program which is outlined in its more imme diate aspects in chapters eight, nine and ten, is based on the principles now being worked out in What is coming to be known today as the community church movement. These principles are used and commended not in any sense as final; indeed, they are interpreted in this book in radical terms which are likely to be acceptable to few, and have been put into practice by none, Of the more than four hun dred community churches already established in this country. This movement is an experiment, an adventure of faith; at the best only a splendid first step away from Protestantism, toward the new democratic religion of the future. As such, how ever, it is the most significant phenomenon in the religious world today, and the inevitable starting point for the discussion of any adequate program Of reform.
