The elm In thie and following- ar ticles, ia to ehow that human nature aa constituted manifestly demand re ligion for It proper development and that religious truth find It con firmation by It meeting the deepest requirement of human' nature. ,. These article of necessity most be very condensed, but It 1 hoped that In thi form they will meet with! a wider reception than they would if expanded and delivered as addresses In church. The writer' earnest de sire is that they may be the means of indicating the fact that the great fun damental teachings of the Christian religion rest on the profoundest and most rational of grounds. . Every intelligent man must recog nize that ho Is not self-existent or an Independent being. In some way or other he trace back his origin to the beginning of the race of mankind. Whence originated this race? Through the result of accident or chance? The work of blind force which by some strange chain of circumstances caused the universe to be created with it In habitant? The idea Is unthinkable. Creation only too surely testifies to the worKiiigs oi uu o v.-cr-U!, and Intelligent mind. Such a mind cannbt exist without personality. An absolute necessity of thought demands a personal Creator who i that "Wis dom who reacheth from one end to another mightily and sweetly ordereth all thing." Given such a Creator, creation 1 not the result of a whim on HI part, but of a definite purpose. A purpose which must be not only for the wisest but also the most beneficent ends, the highest good of all creation. Man be ing a creature, the work of a Creator, he is under a law. That law Is the will of his Creator and la not arbi trary but represent the highest wis dom and goodness. Is it not folly to think that man' welfare can be at tained by any other means than by obeying hi Creator? A watch 1 designed by it maker to keep accurate time. In accordance aa It does this, it usefulness and excel lence a a watch 1 estimated. Unless it keep accurate time, aa a watch it la worthless, no matter how valuable It case may be. Thus It is with man unless he is accomplishing the intention of hi Creator he become a failure a a man. It 1 very necessary then that he should find out what purpose he I in tended to serve. Here is where re ligion come in, because it 1 the tie which exist between and binds man to his Creator. It Involves, moreover, a personal surrender on the part of man because he Is a free will and Intelligent being and not like the stars which yield a mechanical, unconslcoua and unintelli gent obedience. Man stands out as a religious being by the fact that he can recognize his Creator and learn of Him and can personally acknowledge His authority by freely, consciously and in telligently obeying his commands. In so doing man show he is a religious being. . . Again, when comparing man to the animals; we find that while they have much in common, there Is a radical difference between them, and of such a nature that no matter how highly an animal may be developed. It cannot reach 'the plane on which man stand. This difference consists in the endow ment of man with a moral nature, whereby he is held responsible for his action. All hi thought, word and deed possess a moral quality because by virtue of a moral nature he can know the distinction between right and wrong. . - Man being on a moral level teaches out beyond the present. He is ever haunted by the thought of a future which Is to come after death. He Is continually directing hi course in life with this in view. Often abstaining from present advantage because he fears it will prove Injurious to his wel fare In that future. What is the cause of this? But that his moral nature make him acquainted with and de mands that future a absolutely neces sary aa the ground and explanation of Itself. Because the present is not suf ficient for Its complete development a it deals with end which are beyond thi world and time. Thu it compel the man to reach out and take eternity into the range of hi comprehension, Take for Instance the five Ideas which some consider a making np the cen tral Idea of morality, benevolence, jus tice, truth, honesty and order. These ideas aa seen In this world are tmper feet a exhibited In the life and con duct of men. But we have the notion of perfect standard In our mind by which we test the action which come under thee head. , How do w ac count for thia notion? But that such a perfect standard exists. Through In tuition or perception we have caught glimpse of It Where can such a perfect standard be found? But In a Being whose nature manlfeets a true and perfect' morality for we cannot think of such a standard of moral per fection except in connection with a personal being;. Such a being w do not find amongst our fellow men, yet there must ' be such, otherwise the promptings, goading and effort of our moral nature toward perfection aa Its evident goal are unaccountable and unintelligible. Thus our moral nature is like a compass whose needle points infallibly to the pole outside of Itself. That pole to which the moral nature points, is God. Let a rniin then examine carefully his moral nature and he will assuredly discover that It Impel him to seek after and find God.- Because that moral nature certifies that he Is the offspring of God, designed to resem ble God in character, and In God he live and moves and has his being. . .
