The Drift of Religious Thought

"STRAWS show which way the wind blows." So, also, the utterances of the religious press show the drift ("drift" is the proper word) of the religious world. The Boston correspondent of the Christian Union, after noticing the rapid strides of Spiritualism, and also an address on "The Methods of the Spirit in Revivals," says: "Perhaps God's Spirit is moving on the hearts of men all round. Perhaps there is soon to be a better day for the church and the world. Perhaps all theologies, and all philosophies, and society itself, are advancing rapidly toward a new manifestation of the glory of God—the vision of the Lord in the earth."
