What's wrong with new religions

I've finished editing all the material from The Open Road (previously The Crank) that I was able to find. Among these, The Dulness of New Religions gets a reply from one Edward A. Cope. This may or may not be the author of Clerks: Their Rights and Obligations (London: Sir Isaac Pittman and Sons, Ltd., 1909) among other books on accountancy and shorthand. However that may be, he could round off a piece in the true Chesterton manner: "The Stable is less attractive than the Temple. The Babe in the Manger has only a few rudimentary things to say. Very ancient, primary utterances they are; and so monotonous! But is that monotonous infant really dull? Is he really uninteresting? Ask the mother. Ask the Wise Men."
