"A NEW RELIGION."
In an address before the summer
school of theology on tho "New Re
ligion," President Eliot, of Harvard
college, ventured to make what
might be called a prediction. The
talk will be found to be thoughtful
along religious lines and will attract
the attention of men who study the
trend of religious convictions. The
world Is advancing, it is true, and
changes will come, yet It . decldely
questionable if the religious thought
will to any great extent change dur
ing the present century. The learn
ed educator Is entitled to a careful
hearing from those who are unpre
judiced, here are a few Ideas taken
from headdress.
President Emlrltus Charles V.
Eliot of Harvard University, in the
course of an address before the Sum
mer School of Theology, on "The
New Religion," discussed what might
be expected as the coming religion.
His address was much In the nature
of a prophecy. He said:
"The progress of the Twentieth
century will bring about what I call
the new religion. The new religion
will not be based upon authority,
either spiritual or temporal; the
present generation Is ready to be led,
but not driven.
"As a rule the older Christian
churches have relied on authority,
but there Is now a tendency toward
liberty and progress, and among edu
cated men this feeling Is Irresistible.
"In the new religion there will be
no personfieatlon of natural objects;
there will be no deification of re
markable human beings and tho
faith will not. be racial or tribal.
"In war times the tribal faith
comes out strongly. The new reli
gion will not nfford safety primari
ly to the Individual; it will admit
neither a sudden conversion in this
world nor a sudden paradise in the
next.
"The new religion will not think
of God ns a long glorified man or n
king or a patriarch, it will 'believe
In no malignant powers and It. will
attack quickly all forms of evil.
"Now, let ns consider the posi
tive elements of this coining religion.
A new thought of God will he Its
characteristic; tho twentieth cen
tury religion accepts llternlly St.
Paul's statement: in Mini we live
and move and have our being. This
new religion will be thoroughly
monotheistic. God will be so Im
minent that no Intermediary will be
needed. For every man God will be
a multiplication of Infinities,
"This religion rejects the Idea Hint
man is an alien or a fallen being who
is hopelessly wicked. It finds such
beliefs inconsistent with a worthy
Idea of God.
"It will admit no sacraments, ex
cept natural, hallowed customs and
It will deal with natural Interpreta
tion of such rlteB. The new religion
will not attempt to reconcile people
to present Ills by the promise of fu
ture compensation.
"I believe the advent of Just free
dom for mankind tins been delayed
for centuries by Just such promises.
The new religion will not even imu
glne the 'Justice of God.' Civilized
nations realize that legal punish
ments now frequently fall of their

purpose, and the new religion can
not pretend to understand God's lust-
Ice, for there Is no earthly conception
as a comparison.
"The new religion will laud God'a
love and will not teach condemnation
for the mass of mankind. Rased on
the two great commandments of lov
ing God and one's neighbor, the new
religion will tench that he is best
who loves best and serves best, and
the greatest service will be to In

Mr. nnd Mrs. S. Norton returned
Saturday from their trip to Tilla
mook and tell of a very exciting run
awny which happened to their pnrty
near Sheridan.
About three weeks ago Mr. nnd
Mrs. S. Norton and Mr. and Mrs.
Nnthan Norton left this city for
Tillamook to visit with their brother,
.1. L. Norton, and on arriving at
Sheridan they were obliged to go
the remainder of the way by wagon.
They were met there by Fred Nor
ton and his little C-year-old grand
son with a conveyance. The team
was a perfectly gentle one and had
never given trouble before, but a
dog running across the road frighten
ed them and they ran away. The
wagon wob upset turning bottom side
up and the occupants were pinned
beneath the wngon bed. Had It not
been for tho fact that the wagon
became uncoupled In turning over, a
part or probably all of tho party
would have been dragged to almost
certain death. As It was they were
all Injured, 8. Norton, of this place,
being the most serl.niRly hurt. He
was unconscious when picked up and
for a time It wns feared that he was
dead, but consciousness returned and
It was found that a deep cut had been
made on the face which necessitated
seven stitches. Fred Norton sus
tained a fractured rib and Ms little
5-year-old grandson had his ' collar
bone broken. The others were more
or less Injured. This was without
doubt one of the narrowest escapes
recorded for some time and the Nor
tons may consider themselves for
tunate In escaping with their lives.
8. Norton and Nathan Norton are
uncles of Mrs. R. L. Demaree, of this
city, and Fred Norton Is her brother.
