The Christian Foundation, Or, Scientific and Religious Journal, Volume I, No. 7, July, 1880 by Various is a collection of writings from the 1800's that seeks to connect morality, philosophy, and science with Christian beliefs. The overall theme is the importance of God as the root of both truth and happiness. The essays discuss how a relationship with God, and following Gospel moral codes, can lead to true happiness, while disconnection from God causes struggles and unhappiness. The journal suggests inner peace comes from following divine will, and that the teachings of Christ are needed to fight against vice and despair.

It proposes finding true knowledge and moral understanding through God, and speaks out against doubt or disbelief towards religious truth.
