Excerpt from The Unity of Religions: A Popular Discussion of Ancient and Modern Beliefs While the subject of comparative religions is not new, still it was the unanimous feeling of all who were privileged to attend this course, that these lectures, coming from prominent scholars and leaders in this special field of study, were worthy a wider hearing and were far too valuable to remain in manuscript form. Accordingly they are given to the public in this volume, in the h0pe that they may not only bring, in popular form, a clearer conception of the great religions of the world, but also that they may make more real the truth of the words: Religions are many, - Religion is one.
