ly to that invisible power which we call God. Nevertheless we may employ the others for illustration.

Let us see how this doctrine applies to the subject under consideration. Putting it in syllogistic form, we have the folowing:

1. The affectional emotions are universal attributes of every normally developed mind.

2. No effectional emotion can have an existence in the normally developed human mind in the absence of an object of affection capable of reciprocal feeling.

Therefore, when a normally developed human being experiences the emotion of love or affection, there is necessarily existent an object of love or affection normally capable of reciprocal emotion. Thus the emotion of friendship presupposes the friendly relation existing between man and his fellowman.

The emotion of sexual love, presupposes the sexual relation and the existence of persons of the opposite sex normally capable of reciprocal emotion.

The emotion of parental love presupposes the relation of parent and child, each normally capable of reciprocal attachment.

It follows then that the emotion of religious worship presupposes the existence of an object of worship capable of reciprocal emotion.

If this is not the correct interpretation of the

universal sentiment of worship which is inherent in the breast of every normal human being, then there is an exception to the laws which govern every human emotion.

As there are no exceptions in the operation of nature's laws, the conclusion is inevitable, not only that the emotion of religious worship is normal, but that it is the one phenomenal attribute of the soul which gives to man indubitable evidence of his Divine origin, and demonstrates the existence of a God of love. It is the connecting link between man and his Creator. It is the instinctive manifestation of filial affection which proclaims our Divine pedigree, and demonstrates the universal brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God."

T. J. Hudson, Law of Psychic Phenomena.

Man's responsiveness to the needs of man will demonstrate the reasonableness of the other proposition: that man's yearning toward divinity is indubitable proof of a divinity which is reaching out after him and to whom he will eventually be joined - a perfect spiritualized being. The atonement (atone-ment) will be accomplished.

"Men my brothers, men the workers ever

reaping something new;

That which they have done but an earnest
of the things they shall do;

For I dipt into the future far as human eye
could see,

Saw the vision of the world, and all the
wonders that would be:

Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argo-
sies of magic sails,

Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping
down with costly bales;

Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and
there rained a ghastly dew,

From the nation's airy navies grappling in
the central blue;

Far along the world-wide whisper of the
south-wind rushing warm,

With the standards of the peoples plunging
through the thunder-storm;

Till the war-drum throbbed no longer and
the battle flags were furled

In the Parliament of man, the Federation

of the World."

-Tennyson.

As the little child rests its head upon its mother's breast, from which it has received the vital fluids essential to its existence and growth; so, as we arrive at the years of accountability, we should learn to lean our weary heads upon the bosom of the church from which we have received inspirational truths as a basis for our character.

As the child instinctively learns to respect in its natural father the elements of force, will and power, so, in our mature years, we should learn, through our experiences with the inflexible laws of nature and the teaching of the church, to reverence the God of law and order, who is the author of these laws and the Father of us all.

As the child pillows its head upon its mother's breast, looking to her as the personification of all that is pure and lovely, and to its father as the embodiment of power and majesty, and to all the people in the world as its playfellows; so, ultimately, we will learn to respect the Church as our spiritual mother; God as our Creator and Spiritual Father; and each and all of the great Brotherhood of men as our individual companions or brethren.

This vision, as it has come to the race through the instruction of the church, and is being so thoroughly exemplified by the noble acts of brotherly kindness in the fraternal orders and the charitable institutions of today, presages the near approach of the "golden age" to be, the millennium—a fitting finale to the dreams of all past centuries.

CHAPTER VI.

THE SPIRITUAL UNREST.

Since the Institutional Church is being discussed by men of every shade of belief, we feel that the following excerpts may be of interest, as they bear directly on that subject:

"One of the most extraordinary institutions in this country is the Jerry McAuley Mission. For it lifts men and women out of the lowest gutters of human degradation and sets them again on their feet in the world of usefulness. It performs the miracle of the new life.

"Two things the church has to do-no more, no less. One is to inspire the individual man with faith in God, the other is draw all men together in a more friendly and democratic relationship. The old formula, love of God, love of fellow men, expresses the whole range of the activities of the church. Some religious institutions, like the Jerry McAuley Mission, emphasize individual regeneration; others, like Christ Church, emphasize social reconstruction. The two types are presented here in contrast; the one lifts men individually out of the
