The great Exposition and Parliament of Religions lately held in Chicago, have interested and instructed many thousands of people. The Parliament of Religions elevated thought to higher and more liberal altitudes, cleared up prejudice, and broadened the field of view, so that an increased desire for Truth is manifested. Not only at the crowded meetings was this interest manifested, but all over the country, and doubtless throughout the world, the published reports have been and will be eagerly read.
Multitudes of people went to the Exposition thinking only of the vast display of material objects, and saw naught of the mighty significance of the Religious Parliament.
The World's Congress Auxiliary motto, "Not things, but men; Not Matter, but Mind," as culminating and exemplified in this Parliament, is evidence of the tendency of thought toward more spiritual issues, and foretells the day when spiritual law will be apprehended to be transcendent over all. That law is Love, and the keynote of this Parliament has been Love,—the Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man.
