True Religion.

By John Hall

TRUE religion does not jump at hasty conclusions from God's word; it proves all things. It does not "read into" it what human nature may like, or explain away what is unpalatable or humiliating. It does not assume that a priest in virtue of his office is an infallible interpreter of it. It does not keep it from the people and reserve it for officials and for the initiated.

It uses the best means within its reach to get at the meaning and practical uses to be made of God's word.

—Rev. John Hall, D. D., LL. D.
