PHENOMENA OF RELIGION
A Man Could Not Live an Hour of His Life
in Any Worthy Sense Without It,
"1 prow toward the mar1e."—Ph11, 111.„
14,
The richer the meaning of any word
the greater the likelihood that Ideas ig-
eoble and unworthy will masque:ado Wi-
der IL elow many conceptions and piece
tlees, Mean, contemptible, selfish, and
sodden with sin, have cloaked themselves
with tlie name of religion. We need
ever to remember that truth is not less
true because a lie steats her name.
It is not strange, however, whea bigo-
try, hypocrisy, geed, cent, and design-
Ine 'humbug arrogate to themselves the
names of religion, and even einem ex-
clusively to reptesent it, that honest men
who love truth end kindness, gentleness,
and goodness, look askance on religion,
and prefer that their virtues shell not
lie to Ile credit.
Still others feel that religion is so re -
mete from their lives that they have no
time to give to its consideration. IL may
be well for persons of leisure, sentimen-
t'sl or slothful, to dream of spiriLs and
heaven, 01 110 soul and es ealvation, but
=dor lis need our energy for the every-
day business of living.
11 religion Is made synonymous with
theology, 11 seems le be the concern On-
ly of the specialist. Ile may make it his
basiness to split hairs and Lo decide be-
tween northwest and southeast side, but
st ch subtleties are not only beyond us
—they appear to be
A SHEER WASTE OF TIME,
especially when there Is so much le La
done In our short lives and for our needy
weed.
Then you meet the other man, who,
with all his business and his peactical
mindedness, still geh his chief pleasure
and excitement in religion. Often 110
will zealously insist that his form df re-
Itgion is the only one, all others being
indtations designed to your eternal un-
doing should you ever regard them with
favor.
And so, perhaps, you have come to the
cenclusion that, while religion may be
necessary for thou who desire 11 amuse
themselves with (Ls forms and philosophy,
for yourself its controveralcs and Duthie -
lions, its seeming unreality orni its ire-
quent misrepresentations, make i1 rather
a hindranoe than a help in your life.
Yet ;religion is the most simple thing
ln the werld. We are all a good deal
more religi•nes than 500 1111111C, except
when we thee< we are wholly and exelto
steely relight's, All as subtleties and

Religion Is the spirit which three each

they arc but well high regard for things
as they ought to be. It, lifts bethee a

goodly number 01 111080 will be located
on the Foster in trenching.
On 'the NOVO. Scotia a force rif GO men
