A Selection of Cartoons from Puck

THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH OF THE FUTURE—FROM THE PRESENT RELIGIOUS OUTLOOK.

Reading edition

PUCK, January 10th, 1883.

The times change, and we change with them. When this cartoon was designed, the popular theological fad was the harmonization of science and religion, and the immediate cause of its appearance was some utterance, now forgotten, but at the time considered highly audacious, of the Reverend Heber Newton. It was, we believe, the introduction of the practice of “slumming” which changed the current of clerical taste.
