Christianity Misunderstood.
"Christianity is not pure pietism nor pure philanthropy,” said Archbishop Averill. preaching at St Aidan’s ~’Y Church. Remuera. "You often hear men say that their religion is doing to others what they would that men should do to them. Well, that may be their religion. They have a right to it; but it is not the religion of Jesus Christ or of the New Testament. It is a kind of what we call ■quid pro quo’; and it is apt to leave God out altogether, and therefore fails to represent the Christian standpoint. Christianity cannot be confused with mere philanthropy or mere humanitarianism: and. judging by the utterances of some speakers during the recent election campaign, there is a euod deal of misunderstanding current to the real teaching of Christianity.”
