President Eliot on Religion.

In an address before the Religious Union last evening on "Religion from the Educator's Point of View," President Eliot laid great stress upon the value of action and especially the exercise of the many ennobling traits as the means of developing the personal religious life.

Religion, President Eliot said, means many things in this world: to some it is a magnificent ceremonial; to others, a certain sacred administration by a privileged or exalted class; and to still others, beauty, decorum, pomp. He defined the religion needed in the college community of today as "that actual code of ethics which your community, race, nation or generation has evolved; that code infused and vivified by some sort of love of sentiment.

This code is elevated by such elements as work, student honor, family pride, love of country, love of nature, love of God, and lastly, love of man. President Eliot said this love of man is the ultimate idea of religion and that in it all the others find their expression.
