-Sir:The writer is pleased to see that there is at least one great newspaper that has formed correct views of the " Parliament of Religions," and was not afraid to express them, as shown by an article in last Sunday's issue of THE SUN. Permit me to add that this hydra of religions, brought together at the earnest request of so called Christians, is not an evidence of growth in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ; but the contrary. It is manifestly a retrograde movement, and a falling away from "the faith once delivered to the saints." The blind leaders are turning away the hearts of the people from the truth, and they are being turned unto fables. They are even by word and conduct denying the foundation of all that is Christian, that is. the cross of Christ. For I speak advisedly when I say that the conditions of admission to this so-called Parliament of Religions are that the death of Jesus on the cross as a satisfaction to justice for the sins of the world should not be mentioned.

The offence of the cross has not ceased then, for we have the pitiable spectacle of men while professing to be Christians denying their Redeemer. The heathen and Mohammedan religions represented will not be slow to think that Christians themselves regard the vicarious atonement of Jesus as too foolish to be mentioned, and they will reason that Jesus is no more to the Christian than Buddha to the Buddhist or Mohammed to the Mohammedan. But if Jesus be no more than these or more than all other such, He was an imposter ; for He said He "came into the world that the world through Him might be saved." He said further, "I am the way, the truth, and the life ; no man cometh to the Father but by Me." "He that climbeth up any other way is a thief and a robber," and further, He was " the good Shepherd that layeth down His life for the sheep."

Then to Christians worthy of the name there is but one way. There is but " one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." Therefore they cannot fellowship with or compromise with any other system of religion ; but must reprove and enlighten them. S. O. Blunden.
