John,- II. One reallon that religion means so little to many is that we have for a long time been accustomed to thinking of it from the wroug end; we have worried ourselves over its forms instead of using its simple facts; we have substituted its philo- sophy for its practice; we have ac- quired the habit of thinking of faith ing people to the religious life is as whc.l:y u matter of creed and that we are insisting on putting the opinions. formula before the e,;perieuce.

Do not worry over the forms and Once men gave the same blind al- symbols that others use. Get, the legiance to the doctrines of relig- faet, the great fact, that life has in ion that they also gave to feudal it higher values than those of the overlords; they knew not at all what the quarrel was about, but, being told that they must defend the faith or be eternally damned they defended the faith, they paid their dues, an't counted that they had performed their duties for re- ligion. But opinion is no more religion than a guide book is a journey If you had a million copies of even so practical a code as the ton com- mandments there would be less re- ligion in the whole, pile than in one little kindly deed done BY ONE FOlt ANOTHER. We seem to think still that you can make a man religious by getting him to recite phrases of pious opin- ion. There are no meals in a cook book. Health is not the same thing as a doctor's bock. You cannot buy wisdom at a book store. Nourish- ment, health. wisdom are all the product of vital processes. They come through life. You may define to take a man to Italy. You can never make a child know that two and two are four by re peating that formula to him ; he must somehow in his experience put this two and that two together. fhen addition becomes simple, de- lightful (because helpful), practi- cal.

('ar sickness is a very disagree- able affevtien, something akin to seasickness and yet differing from it in several particula In seasickness it is •e to feud the very old or the very young af- fected. If children are seasick they are very quickly over it, and run- ning about at play as usual, but a baby will sometimes suffer from car sickness in its baby carriage, and the very old are not immune. The symptoms of the two disor- dors are very much alike. They consist of pallor, quick pals,, clam- my skin, giddiness, nausea and vomiting. \Tomei, arc more subject to car sickness than amen, and this is equally true of seasickness, and one strange feature of car sickness that has been nc.ted by physicians is that it is frequently handed down through the women of a family from generation to generation. If an individual is immune all through childhood and early life, but develops car sickness as an adult, the fault will probably be found to rest with the eyes and the way to avoid it is to travel the eyes closed, er, better still, t it start with properly fitted glasses. 1t is easy to understand why this should be so. When the eyes need glasses the whole nervous equili- brium of the body suffers, even un- der the best conditions, and when to this struggle is added the vibra- tion of the cars and the temptation to watch passing scenery through the windows the struggle turns in- to active revolt of the whole system against imposition. The proof that car sickness and seasickness are not quite the.same thing is found in the fact that a person may be a good sailor and yet suffer dreadfully with car sick - .I.
