Excerpt from Some Ethical Phases of the Labor Question
If we depend upon lexicographers for a definition of religion, we find that it comprehends a belief in the being and perfection of God, in the revelation of his will to man, in man's obligation to obey his commands, and in man's accountableness to God; and it also includes true godliness, or purity of life, with the practice of all moral duties. If we do not undertake to square religion with dogmatic theological thought and teaching, we shall come to the conclusion that, as distinct from theology, religion is godliness, or real purity in practice, consisting of the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow-men and ourselves. If we search the heart and the conscience, this will be the outcome.
