PROFESSIONAL RELIGION
A Man's Place in - A.nother World Depends
on His Progress in This
By Mete fruits shall ye know tltem.—
Malt, vii, 16.
Mere is a good deal more religion In
the world than we sometimes sunk.
True, many assume they have succeed-
ed In classifying and pigeonholing the
worlds supply. 'But you might us well
think that truth is to be found only at -
Melted to affidavits as to imagine that
religion can be identified by labels, Na
matter' what system of classification
we may use, there still Is to great deal
of lt'ue religion that gets through the
meshes of our sieves.
The higher you go In the scala of
things the greater the ctimculty in their
classification, !'here are infinitely more
shades of difference between men than
amongst rocks, and when you mane into
tate world of diens end motives and 'at-

able of the tusk.
Since religion Is neither a button,
garb or other inanimate thing, nor a
style or cult, nor a theory or a phtloso-
C'hy, but Is a natter of attitude of n life,
its classification is possible only to the
One who sees alt hearts.
Religion is the recognition of vital re-
lations to the Infinite; 11 is the finding
in these relations of motives that seek
to establish right rotations to all lhings,
to nature, to man, a!Td 10 ourselves. A

Ito is religious who lives upand lifts
up; the is irreligious who lives down or
drags down. Vital tests are the only
possible ones here. IL makes no differ-
ence what your accent or your garb; 11
makes no difference what your philo-

your familiarity with the family of idle
Deily, the laws of 1rte judge you by the
tree of your life and by the fruit it bears.
Religion is not ar type of mind; it is
the trend of a life. A man may be a
beggar or king, hard headed or ten-
der ,hearted, practical or speculative,
motor or sensory; it makes no difference
what his temperament or tastes, he
may still sock the right, love truth, cher-
ish high Ideals, work In harmony with
the infinite, recognize the .spiritual by
seeking to grov out of the base.
Such a religion cannot be confined

life. Tho sogregalfon of religion 10

Such religion will not need to express
itself In garb. A man's strength does
not depend on the cut al his coat. The

how holy their names may be, and he
shall stand a poor, dwarfed, undevelop-
ed soul, unprepared for life because it

If a man would know whether 11e is

GREATEST ONE-MAN 13001.
No author of any nationality has ever
produced books which can compare
with those of Shakespeare for world-
wide popularity. Five hundred for-
eigners, at fewest, have translated them
into their own tongues, including such
little-known languages as Icelandic,
Servian, Bohemian, and Polish. 'there
are to -day- as Ilnany German readers cf
German translations of Shakespeare as
!here are English readers of the origin-
al in English, The fate of the work of
the average writer Is that it rapidly,
wanes in poularity until in the course
of a decnde or two it is entirely for-
gollets—a thing of the past. The selling
power of Sllalcespeare's collected works
was, however, quite sixteen limes
greater in the 18111 than in the 17th
century, and the 1911 century saw ano-
ther great upward bound in the sales.
It is estimated that there are now over
six million volumes of Shakespeare's
works in circulation, and the demand is
so great that nearly every book pub-
lisher of note issues a special Shakes-
peare edition of his owls.
