To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We have had a fighting, and not a loving Christianity. Repulsion has been stronger than attraction, dislike than s} mpathy. Upon this dreary winter, spring is advancing. It has not yet conquered. Here and there come blustering days, to renew the rigor and to destroy this new life. But the Sun of Righteousness is now high in the heavens. The days are longer; the light advances, and the warmth. All things are tending to draw men to each other. The things in which men agree are more and more impor...tant than those in which they differ. Love is growing, hate is weakening. More than that, I think in the past one hundred years — and this, the birthday of Channing, marks the beginning of it — there has not only been a change in the spirit of 244 ClIANNING CENTENARY. sects, in the notions of government and in theology, but there has also been a wonderful progress in true religion. If you measure religion by the exact forms of- any of the highly organized churches, — our mother, Rome, and her eldest daughter, the Episcopal Church ; if you measure it by dogma and formality and ordinance, in the different aspects in which the denominations present it ; if you measure its condition by the Westminster Catechism, or by the Confession of Faith, or by any of the mediccval Confessions, or by the hitherto standing claims of any of the organized religious bodies, — I think it must be admitted that there is a decadence of religion.
