Excerpt from The Future Church: Being the Substance of a Lecture Delivered on the Occasion of the Thirty-Ninth Anniversary of the Brahma Samaj in the Town Hall, Calcutta, on Saturday, 23rd January 1869 It is therefore necessary for every believer to be assured that therchourch to which he belongs has not only a glorious past but also a glorious future. Such assurance will intensify his faith: and make him labour to abide by his church faithfully. To know that my church will give way to another would be to give up my church as false. The true church must be the future church. Hence every sincere believer is bound, for the sake of truth and salvation, to decide the in teresting question of the future church of the world. The method I intend to adopt in the treatment of the subject before. Us is to follow, as far as possible, the lessons taught by history, and to make facts of the past th??? basis of my arguments. It is to be re gretted that speculations about the future church generally contain more of poetry than philosophy, and show more of what men wish than what facts warrant. It will not do to soar into the heights of fancy, and behold, looming at a distance, a church fashioned after our own hearts, grand and magnifi cent, adorned with all the richest colours of heaven which our own imagination could coniare us.
