RELIGI0)
Ran Should Grow In Religion as
a Child Develops,
"Except ye be converted and become
as little children,, ye shall not enter M -
to the kingdom of !leaven. — Matt.
xviii., 3.
Nowhere do the regulators abound
more than in religion, Eceles(nsticism
seems to breed the worm of critieisui.
'When religion becomes only a peofes-
Sion its followers feel their first duty
t, be the disco\ery of abnormalities In
others of their craft. Those to whom
religion meanscertain formal slate -
Merits generally are convinced that, if
the church should be reduced (0 those
who absolutely were orthodox, there
would be but one member, and they
know who )hal would be.
The narrow heart elways feels called
upon to gauge the thugs that are (n-
finile. It is the shrift of laziness to set
up mechanical standards for things that
are moral and spiritual. The Baste spir-
it That -cannot base Itself on blood or
bl'oed(ng proceeds to create Its tittle
clique on lines of belief or ceremonials.
'He is his disciple who learns of him,
who takes the child's attitude toward
this new life. Ile is not a philosopher
whocarefully would set out a logical
statement of what this way of life
means; he is not a mechanic who would
sal up enginery by which its purposes
should be accomplished; he Is a child,
learning, living approximately to its
ideals unconsciously.
THE ESSENTIAL THING
about the child is that he is growing,
developing. Things with Hint are not
set, determined, formal There only is
one thing that always is the same
about the child; that is the trend of his
lite, ils upward, outward, enlarging
movement. A child lives not by rules
but by unconscious forces, not by efforts
at certain. results, but by the outliving
of the life within. Vitality is the chief
virtue; the others take care of them-
selves because he Is too busy growing
even to think of the vices that are but
forms of death.
So is the life of the true child of the
most High. IL is marked only by one
steady, amaryiug elnaracleristic, its
general trend toward lunger life and in-
to tie Fathers likeness. No certain set
of features prevails here, no set out of
garurents, no undeviating routine of
conduct and format cots, 00 forms cf
words. But through their play and their
tears, !heir schooling and their toil, the
children grow into larger life.
Christianity is a trend rather than a
type. 1t is the life that goes toward
Um things infinite, wholly good and
t'ue; its ideals move higher as the ages
g. by. Life enlarges beltre Its children,
IL conies hack lo Cud. it is a lite not
a philosophy; a life eternal and there-
fore unending in its development.
This. then, is Ilse only possible test
of my religion, a vital test, a deep test
AM I GROWING?
am I moving toward larger Iife? are my
sympathies broader, finer? cnrnpassi0ns
deeper? knowledge end humility, power
and pity growing side by side?
Gone are the days when a mean could
reach his ideal in a single moment;
when he was saved in a second to stay
at that point. To stand still is to dle,
even though one be standing on amount
of transfiguration. Alas for the stilt
born. Chrdsllans in the world! Gone
Me old ideal of a type to which one
night by niceties and oddities of speech,
garb and custom speedily conform. A
life is not made thus mechanically.
Religion is larger and deeper than
that; it is the learning of tiles great,
unseorchable lesson as a child by living
15 learning the laws of life. The larger
the tire in all the things that are noble,
sweet, and beneficent the more truly
is it religious, and only es It ever. un-
ceasingly moves toward higher things
is It religious at all. Begin to Iearn to
live, take a child's place before the, great
Master, and you shall land the way of
life. Not by their buttons or their
badges shall men enter the kingdom,
but by their being and becoming like
the best.
