Every strong man wants to know what his opponent can say. He
covets criticism, asks for investigation, welcomes analysis and
contrast. Christianity has won its greatest victory through
comparative religion. If you can only get the man with an
ox-cart to put his vehicle beside the new locomotive; if you can
only get the tallow candle and the gas flame into contrast with
the electric light; if you can only get Buddha and Confucius
side by side with Jesus--that is all that can be asked. The
stickler for a little fire and a tallow candle will have
nothing to say after you open the curtain and let the sunshine
in.--N. D. HILLIS.
