The Greek and Roman faith and the worships of Western Europe have all yielded to the advancing Christian army. The process of tearing down and building up is still going on. Parseeism and the American Indians’ religion are dying, because the people who belong to these nations are dying out. Mohammedanism is making great inroads on the Fetich-worship of Africa. Buddhism is lessening the respect for Confucius and Lao-Tsze in China, and is gaining ground on Shintoism in Japan. Christianity is, in almost every land, lessening the hold of heathen religions upon their followers and is slowly leavening the whole world, as the facts and figures prove. Before the bright light of the Sun of Righteousness the dark night of error and superstition is fleeing away. LIVING WORSHIPS. The first group, that of original faiths, will include the religions of Hinduism, Shintoism, of Africa, America, Oceanica, and of the Karens of Burmah. The next group, that of the living reformed religions, will include Parseeism, Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism and Mohammedanism. This last is not, strictly speaking, a system of idolatry, and therefore we do not give it an extended notice; yet, as it exists as a fierce opponent of idolatry, and properly has a part in the history of idolatry, we cannot pass it by altogether, but shall give it such attention as is consistent. The signs of these times, as well as the signs of the gone-by ages, shows that the world is moving back to its first worship of one God. As an opponent of idolatry and as a great missionary system, Christianity is likely to do this great work of bringing the world back to its first faith. So we propose, briefly, after showing the contrasts between the Christian religion and the idolatrous worships, to refer to the present attitude of the Christian system in its work among existing heathen nations. This will involve a view of the great battle-field of the world, and of the forces fighting for and against the true worship of the one God. To this true worship the world is slowly but surely tending. THE PROPOSED TREATMENT.
