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- tempt t- 1 e n t L p to arrange and label things of the spirit only ignorance feels itself cap• 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 men Is religious 10 the proportion as be sets these relations first to life, as '10 sets the development of his own life, Lhe cullivalion of llkeness lo Me best revealed, the application of the bast thus cultivated to TIIE GOOD OF ITIS FELLOWS to Ute bringing of the kingdom of right relations in this world. 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- sophy of the past or the future, what 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 10 a division or a department of the life. Tho sogregalfon of religion 10 Sundays has been ' successful but In slaving it to death. it would be u strange man who should hang out a sign saying, "'Phis is my truthful day; Ho would not find the world especially impressed with his honor on that or any Whey day. Ila wbo is not religious every day Is not rellglous, Such religion will not need to express itself In garb. A man's strength does not depend on the cut al his coat. The only thing In your clothes that particu- larly matters to your religion Is whether the 111Bs are pili(. Yet there are a good many men who feel sure they would go straight to glory if they should die with their religious 001010 01.

If a man would know whether 11e is religious, let hint not ask whether be feels tides of omoUon, whether 11e has his name engrossed on charily lists or church ro1Ls, whether ho be well armed for theological polemics; let Trim ask whether the supreme thing in his life is the finding of the good, the serving of L11e best, time will of the most ]nigh, the bearing of the fruits of love, and joy, and peace, of kindness, inspiration, and holiness. The things within snakes the things without. You cannot put. your religion on. A new coat will not mance you healthy. . Turn your face to the light end you shall know the truth; set the things you ]snow to be base beneath your feet; seek touch with the divine and Infinite; leave life's doors open la 1110 things that are lovely and -of good report; serve your fellows with a free heart and your religion within take care of itself.

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.
