FTlHE position which we have reached is as ■*- follows. We have seen that there are reasons for believing that religion will survive ; the grounds for this are to be found in the fact that man everywhere shows invincible religious ten- dencies, coupled with the fact that man's nature seems to be permanent. There are certain laws or principles of man's spiritual and moral nature which appear to be constant. These point to the per- manence of man's nature, and also to the elements which the future religion must possess if it is to survive.
