Confederacy or Paganism

REV. A. C. HILL, a London pastor now visiting the United States, declares that Americans are losing their religion, and will become a pagan nation within a century unless they return to the fundamental thoughts of Christianity. He says:—

Both the orthodox and the heterodox churches are responsible for this state of affairs. They should seek a common ground of religion rather than a diversity of creed, and on this foundation erect the ethical structure that is necessary for the continued existence of a democratic society.

This is another appeal for such a confederacy of religious forces as will save Christianity from shipwreck. But the same one who warns us against a confederacy also says: “Neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.”
