The creature

Back to Next Part Man's religion & God's religion 2

All true religion flows out of the life of God in the soul.

Wherever this divine life does not exist, there may be 'the name of religion'—but it will be—a shadow without substance—a form without power—an imitation without reality. Probe all false religion to the bottom—look into its heart and centre—strip off its garments and trappings—and what will you find?

SELF! False religion may assume a thousand shapes. It may run through all shades of profession.

But hunt it down through all its turnings and windings, and you will find the creatureat the end of the chase!
