In:
Atlantic Monthly (Boston, Mass.) 109, 12-22Abstract: "Ask the average men who are not connected with any church—ask even some who are so connected—what their conception of the Christian religion is. The answers will be interesting and varied. Think of the people we all may count among our acquaintances, who are studying Buddhism and Sufism and Babism! All of this means something; it is surely a sign of the age. It indicates a want which even scientists now tell us exists in the human heart—the necessity of religion." p. 12
