QUALITY OF RELIGION.

SOCIAL OR SOLITARY. (FKOU OUB own COUUSPOHOSBT.) \ I/ONDON, January 10. 1 "Is the heart of religion solitary, or social?" was the subject of a lecture yesterday by Dean Ingo at St. Edmund's, in the city. ; , U I am afraid," Dean Inge declared, 1 "there are some ' people—-thdse, ,perhaps, whom life hns dealt rather hardly with —who think they are attracted by God whea, they * are' only repelled by man. So they allow their religion, to isolate them, still further. Such people should certainly be encouraged' td make their religion 1 morg social." There was, sometimes, he continued,' a * sourness and narrowness in the in-] dividu'alistic Puritan which might be' corrected b£ the more genial, if less' profound, piety of those who enjoyed the dramatic and spectacular sociabilities of -public worship. A" purely external religion was no religion at all, but only the fussinesp of busybodies/ the fanaticism of bigots, or the .frivolity of playgoers. And a purely internal religion would starve for want of its proper sustenance, love of brethren. - ", ,
