Excerpt from Some Main Issues: A Collection of Essays
A radical revision of this vital matter is urgent; for the clergy are lagging behind in the universal advance, and their attitude as a body is as discreditable to themselves as it is untrue to the cause. We have not even grasped the fact that Christianity is accepted only by a small proportion of the earth's inhabitants so that to large numbers of observers, well advanced in learning and science, we present such a foolish paradox that disrespect and ridicule inevitably result.

Excerpt from Some Main Issues: A Collection of Essays
Intolerance and bigotry have enjoyed a long life in the land; but the dawn of a clearer vision is on the horizon, and these demoralising influences can no longer hinder the free expression of opinion, or prevent the publication of new philosophical and scientific truth, which obtain a hearing despite all the clamour and clash of party politics and the hysterical distractions of our age. In the sphere of religion, a voice pleading from the pulpit for that universal toleration which allows to each individual his share in the constitution and perpetuity of truth and honour irrespective of creed or dogma, is, even at this time of day, no uncommon or unnecessary occurrence. I have heard an aged and gifted clergyman express the hope that the time was not far distant when preachers of all denominations would freely interchange pulpits. But we know that they have not adopted the spirit of toleration to this extent; and just so long as they attempt to save themselves and their followers, each in his own selfish craft, and to stem the tide of every evil unaided by the qualities which others might supply, but which they themselves lack, they need not be disappointed to find that men of wide sympathies are debarred from fraternising with them.
