There are numy who Bank they must Iwo without religion becuu.se they can- uol be content with the views held by their fathers, The facts on welch the faith of life past wes bused have esnric into 1311: light mo that the modera man, examining them, linds himself in all honesty compelled to question them and mflen untimately to call them fables. The attempt to answer the questions .of the clear eyed inoclern scientific mind hy accusing It of inherent antagonism to religien is cheap end ineffectual. There aro honest doubters who at the samo lime are •earnest seekers alter ,trutte who desire the best, who are wil- ling to pay any price ler personal char- aeler. and social righteousness. IL is because such men aro honest 'that they refuse to be hound by creeds they cannot believe and lo buttress be- liefs they cannot indorse.. No greater loss could come to character than to insist that we shall act end speak a Pe In order that the body of religious teaohtng shall remain undisturbed. The heresy we most eeed to fear is that whiter blatantly &Marrs ono thing while at heart leaving that another is true. The old generation in religion is ac- cusing the new of treason to faith end the new is accusing the old of blind- ness to truth_ When. the father says. to *the son, "BELIFSVE THIS OR 13E LOST," the son answers that he rather would he Lost in company with truth and hon. .esty of conscience than be seed at the -cest of both. But do these divergencies mean that elle man of the modern mind 1111131 give tio religion and that those 20110 1101(1 lo itle traditional views can find no fellow - :ship with those who sets new light? This is more thee au aeridemic question; it presses on every man who, finding in him the universal thirst for religion, finds also standing before the living \eaters him wile says, "You can drink .enty out of this cup handed down from the fathers; you can approach only on speaking our shibboleth.' Our fathers looked on religious truth as something complete and unehange- -able, ence for all delivered to the saints. But they forgot how different was the :truth. as they snw it, from its vision as givers lo their fathers. Every age tends to look upon itself is the linal gout and ( n its views as ties last pes)4Ible state- ment of truth. Yet now clearly does that past Mach es tbat our vision of li.itth Is ever cluing - leg. Truth, trt any realm, is a coueley whose boundaries Ile ever before 041 whose geography eneh riga starlet write !UMW. Truth is a road, not a terminus; pemess of search and not the thing discovered lle only is reltgloue really \vim opens .iwurt. and mind to the inereasiug vision ot truth, in whom religion is not a cut ,ad delete fixed and unehanging phllo- seldle, but lo whoin It Is a method and motive fur living, a mocess of adjust- ing himself to all his owned in the full light of all the truth that can come to tem. Therm is a religion for the man who 'oust deny many things Wet once som- e' essential to religion, for tim man who feels compelled to doubt all ttengs; it le the rellgiou oi the honest, open souied, unreserved searcit for truth and the Manslatien of that truth as it is known into CHARACTER AND eIVING, If the setting of the face toward Muth means breaking through ancient theo- logy it also will mean bringing us face to face 20111 tho infinite. It is a good thing le loso the symbol if we only will seek for the substance. The heart of Inan °vies out for the reality that lies buck of all our words and for the rea- lization of our doctrines in deeds. When the test of trouble ocanes, when earth Is a desert and the heavens aro brass, we find our refreshing, we find le+ real resources 01 rellgien not in doctrinal statements, not in formai creeds, but in that, creed which expert- enc,e has written oh our hearts. In the consciousness of an eternal love tot demonstrated by logic, in the sense of the unity of ourselves and our race with the infinite and divine, Every day must have its 11020 ereed, its enlarging visloa 01 1011111, but back uf all lies truth itself, the reality upon whicll our fathers leaned end the un - teeing springs where they Wan re - Meshed and the glowing, visions that lea them on. In that reeitly lies every man's religion. HENBY F. COPE. THE S. S. LESSON INTILIINATIONAL LESSON; SEPT. 1. 'Lesson IX. The Two Reports of the Spies. Golden 'Feet: Num. 14. 9.

MAN-EATING WOLF. • -- rotten's Terrible Fight With One India Canadian Northwest. IL is generally supposed that the big timber tvol( of America amounts to M- lle 08 a killer of men when compared With his Siberian cousin, but this is not entirely true, Arthur Hemiag, the est- thor and illustrator of Spirit Lake, who has lived much with the fur -hun- k TS of the Canadian Northwest, tells this fact: Several winters ago an old Dog -rib Indian, named Pot -fighter's -father, was trapping near Feet Rae oft Great Slave Lake. Being tit need ot meat, he set out to hunt caribou. Although 110 had said that 110 would reture lo camp lhat night, on the third day after Ids depar- ture he was still missing. 111.0 family betame alarmed, and notified some neighboring hunters, 10110 sot out. to Rail the old man. After tellowing hie tracks for heir a day, they came etel- denly upon the footprints of an un- usually large wolf, which had turned to Mail the huntev. For some mites the brute had evidently followed close be- side the Mail of Pot -fighter's father, di- verging at limes as though seeking coy- 4and then again stalking its prey. 10 the open. 0110 Meilen continued to Mb lov, the old man's trail, while the other followed that of the n\alf. The great size of the wolf's tracks filled the in- dians with anxiety for the safety el their friend, and they hurried on as quickly as possIble, They had not gone far before they dis- eoveredthat Pot-flghter's-father had come 11p011 o herd of caribou. and a 11- 1"e farther on. they found lying on the snow a. couple of caribou carcasses that he ,hatt shot. Sleangee to say, the old - mats had not been skinned, nor had their tongues been removed. More re- markable still, the wolf -although pas- sing close to them -had not stopped to feed. The Indians now vividly realized their friend's danger, end hurried on all the fester. Soo111 they came upon ANOTHER DEAD CARIBOU, oral this time. Pot -fighter's -father had skinned it, and had cut out its Wngue; but again the wolf had refused to 1011011 the deer, Continuing (heir pursuit, they discovered a brush windbreak where the hunter had evidently stopped to camp the night. Now they • noticed that tho tracks of the wolf took to cover emong the scrub. Approaching the shelter, they read in the snoW the signs of a terrible struggle between a man and 4 woll,' The hunter's gun, snowshoes, and sash containing his knife, rested egainst the windbreak, and his axe stood In the snow where he had been cutting brush. To the Indulins tiro snow wns like 710 open book. From it they read the store, et the long-drawe fight.
