DEAN INGE
OTHER WORLD ORDERS,
LONDON, February 9,
Dean Inge, in a lecture at Lincoln’s Inn .Clliape] yesterday, on “G«d and the World,” said that, lii«tori c al Christianity was a clnfjniD' religion, the product of a great revelation or world experience. we were not obliged to believe that our °wn was th ( > only world order, and different, would orders might ne entirely independent of each other. The assumption that the production of man must hav D been th ( , sole or chief end of Creation neemec f to ffim to he unjustifiable deification of man. That if th c inhabitants of other worlds needed redemption no doubt God visited them as He had visited us was, to his mind, an inspiring thought. There was t 0 his mind, something derogatory to th P Deity in supposing that He made this vast universo lor so paltry an end as the production of ourselves and our friends.
