LIBERAL CHRISTIANITY
BR, G. C. CRESSET SPEAKS OP ITS
BENEFICIAL EfFLUEXCE.
Rearl ef Emancipation From Sn

S4 Political Bondage.
At the Unitarian Church yesterday
morning Rev. George Croswell Cressey,
D. D., preached on the topic, "What Llbi
cral Christianity" Has Done for the
Church and the "World." Taklnrr aa th
text 'The truth shall mike .you free."
Jehn villus. Dr. Cressey spoke in part as
SPeak exhaustively of what liberal
Christianity has done for the world would
be to give a record of emancipation from
superstition, bigotry, religious and, to no
small extent, political bondage. It has
revealed the true personality of Jesus,
the real breadth of .his teachings and the
catholicity or his spirit; it has winnowed
truth from error in the dogmas of the
past, demonstrated the harmony of essen
tial Christianity with all genuinely scien
tific truth, and rescued the claims of the
church from the limbo of absurdity. It
uum oe interesting to trace the influ
ence of prominent Unitarians upon the
thought of the present. No divine of the
last century exerted a theological influ
ence so wide and Dervasfve ns wiiifom n
Charming, his works having been trans-
wxea into many languages; Parker alone
wiin nis enthusiasm for truth and free
oom is, in tnis respect, his rival. I have
neen connected in various ways with three
alvinity schools of the Congregational
Trinitarian denomination, and I can af
firm rrom experience and observation,
while as yet I had no personal interest In
Unltarianism, that no author could ap-
jjiwacu Emerson in fils effect upon the
minds of the students. Tho power of Mar
tineau, the greatest religious philosopher
Of our time, has been two-fold he has
exposed with remorseless logic the errors
of the church, and, at the same time and
"Kith equal success, laid bare the shallow
ness and defective generalizations of tho
jeugious iconoclast and the blatant apos-
o t jjaeuao-science.
"I was asked a few years aeo to rsir! n
sermon of a popular preacher of the so
called orthodox church, whoso preaching
was certainly a fountain of great good in
that community, the request being made
on the ground that the discourse con
tained new and original truth concerning
vuiiouttuu)-, x acceaea with precisely the
result I had anticipated; the excellent
mougnt was mat of Unltarianism 50 years
ago concerning Inspiration.
"My aim this morning, however, must be
very limited, viz., to mention a few of the
mouy airect. Denents which liberal Chris
tianity under whatever name It may be
found, especially as a system of thought,
has brought to the world.
"It has given to America our best llt-
ru.iure, an oi our great poets, Longfel
l0?ryant' Lowe11- Holmes. Emerson
and Whlttler (Unitarian Quaker); and the
true poet is the seer, the greatest of all
prophets. Whether we say that liberal
thought inspires the poet or that poetic
senlus leads to liberal thought is imma
terial; the two go hand in hand, not only
with us but In general everywhere. Mil
ton was accused of heresy, also Watts the
proliflc hymn-writer; what the special
heresy was (in these Instances It con
cerned the doctrine of the trinity) It does
0lf?Ify. Poet3c senlus. prophetic in
sight, the vision of the profound seer, are
Incompatible with arbitrary dogma, eccle
siastical limitation and final revelation
4 In another aspect of the subject, how
full of meaning it Is that the people of
the South are to this day instinctively
hostile to the very name Unitarian. This
hostility is tho traditional recognition of
the fact that the prominent abolitionists
of 60 years ago were almost entirely of tho
liberal faith. While others labored large
ly for extension of creed and church (an
end in Itself laudable), they labored for
the .Nation and for humanity. Of similar
spirit and In the same general field of
labor in tho Old World were Mazzlnl. Kos
suth and Castelar, all adherents of liberal
Christianity.
"But granted, some one says, that lib
eral religion has ever been active in phil
anthropy, social, political and civic re
form, and In humanitarian enterprises of
every kind, has it not been a foe to the
faith once delivered to the saints'? It Is
needful here to speak with plainness, a
Plainness, however, which does not in the
least connict with our appreciation of sin
cere thought and devoted life under what
ever denominational aegis they may be
lound. Liberal Christianity has been the
foe of ecclesiastical cism, but not of reli
gion or of -the pure Christianity of Jesus.
It has helped to rescue this pure Chris
tianity from the mire of tradition and
the impenetrable thicket of human ten
ets, and to restore the simple ethical and
-spiritual teachings of the Son of Man.
"The chief Indictment against us ought
to be our doctrine of human nature, or re
jection of the doctrine of total depravity,
for this la the logical qorner-stono of so
called orthodox- Christianity; but the doc
trlno Is not held In extraordinary rever
ence today even By its professed believ
ers, and the primal accusation is that wo
hold Jesus to be a "mere man." This la
the shibboleth of attack. But there is no
such thing philosophically or religiously
as a 'mere' man. If there were, philoso
phy would have lost Its foundation, and
religion Its object and purpose. What
man potentially Is. what he may and will
be In the future, what he might be in the
present, is the inspiration of poet, proph
et and preacher; it is tho keynote of the
harmony of creation and of the melody
of human progress. To emphasize the
pure humanity of Jesus, together with the
natural divinity of man. is to restore that
clement to religion which not only recon
ciles it with itself, but also with the mar
velous revelations of truth which are
breaking today from every realm of God's
universe. The profound interest manifest
ed in the life and teachings of Jesus in
cur era arises directly from thought of
him not as a supernatural being, but as a
representative of humanity, as one like
unto ourselves In nature.
"So also liberal Christianity has re
deemed tho Bible. And remember. I do
not refer simply to Unltarianism or even
the liberal denominations ns snrh- t in
clude many individuals in the so-called
evangelical churches, especially in the
Congregational Trinitarian body, who are
with us in spirit, and who, although often
differing from us somewhat in letter of
belief, -would gladly extend denomina
tional fellowship. Liberal Christianity I
affirm, has redeemed the Bible and al
lowed it for tho first time since the Refor
mation to speak for Itself. How much in
terest, think you. would there bo In this
book today, were all confined literally and
actually to the alternative of accepting it
as infallible and inerrant In all its parts
or totally rejecting it? What would be
the verdict of the Intellectual, even of
the intelligent world? Nothing has so
tended to maintain the influence and
numbers of the church as the tacit recog
nition that truth is its own authority,
that one may and must accept only that
which commends itself by reason and ex
perience, producing naturally, a certain
elasticity of creedal requirement in ad
mission of members.
"Tho principle of reason and conscience
as flnal authority finds singular confirma
tion. Indeed, in modem treatment of the
Bible. Men accept what they feel to be
true or wish to accept, explaining away
or ignoring other parts.
"The higher criticism, a most impor
tant achievement of liberal Christianity,
has determined largely what books of the
Old and New Testaments may be re
garded as authentic; but authenticity does
not prove the truth of the content. This
must be decided in matters of history and
material knowledge, by the proper cri- 1
teria; In matters of a moral and snlrltuil i
nature, by the verdict of the enlightened
reason and conscience of humanity.
"All recognize that the laboring classes
of today are alienated from the church as
an Institution. Is it becayse they- are es
sentially irreligious., or do not think for
uiemseives? Quite the reverse. They do
not believe the traditional creed of Chris
tendom, perceiving In addition that
churches often do not preach their own
written beliefs, a state of things which
does not serve to enhance the ethical
status of the pulpit. On the other hand
hundreds and thousands of persons are
supporting churches. In spite of their
creeds, simply because they believe them
to stand in general for religion and mor
ality. "I might discuss the topic philosophic-"
ally or trace in detail the influence of ra
tional religion in literature and on life,
or analyze certain subtle motives of the
human constitution; but after all the story
is toia in tne inevitable replies to the slm-
Pie questions. What would be the attend-

tho very opposite tenor, forms the saving

In regard to opening or closing the Fair
on the first day of the week. It must
be remembered that there are a great

Those who are religious may show their
faith In their religious doctrine by at
tending strictly to their religious duties,
as though there was no Fair, thereby
showing they were more Interested In
their religious faith than In their tem

"We had a bill before this body two

the ship-subsidy bill. Desperate efforts
were made to put that bill upon the
statute books of the country. That bill
only proposed to take $9,000,000 a year out

anywhere from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 out

Ho went on to say that the bill came as
a supposed extension of the law permit

than that not to deposit these moneys Id

the one." CLEMENT BATES, Judge of
