RELIGION DD MORALITY
No Man Can Live for Great Purposes Unless
He Cherishes High Ideal's,
"Faith apart from works Is dead." -
Puttee 11., 26.
Yort wilt often hear some ono Fay: "I
am not a religione man at all. I son
just a plain mese mut, trying to do
what is right with all others." There
le some implied distmition between re-
ligion and morally which makes ihe av-
erage persein Mel that while there can
be no doubt as to Um value of the lat-
ter to the world, the tonnes Is a separ-
ate mailer and of doubtful usefulness.
It is safe Lo say that every person is
eithor more religious or las religieus

who resettle -lie any religion, insisting the
only th'ng he is conceived aliont s his
duty to his fellow ntan and the good of
society as a whole, may be cherishing
mnfoundly religious Ideals and Milow-
mg them In a dainty religious spirit.
On the other han.d, those, who seek in
dlecredit what they call "empty moral-
ity,' who tell us there Is no goed in any
man exoept Lite good that is. formally,
supenaturally e.onferved in the name of

no guide to his moral charades but
les morel practce is a safe guide to
HIS RELIGIOUS SINCERITY.
Is there any difference between um re•
alines of religion end morality? Can
ene Le moral without the religious spir-
it? What is religion but the inspiration
of morality and morality but the vital-
izing expression of religeon?
Morality is the art of the right con.
ciuct of life, especially in relation 10 one's
fellew beings. The moral 1I1CLI1 sees be-

Often the clifIlculty comes, however,
because we who seek the moral elltle,
the high aims of chatiaeler and sereice,
fail to see how deep is our need of the
ineplration and light
THAT RELIGION CAN GIVE.
No man can live for great purpeses un

In the light for the full and froe life
we need to icnow that we do not fight

need to catch the vision of the glorious

fluence or an ideal. But our morality
needs the dynamic of that ideal, the
sense or the great spirit of truth that
works through us all to the realization
of our best thoughts and hopes for all.
Lel a man honestly follow his moral
ideals; let him pay the price they will
demand of him; let him invest himself
in their achievement, and he will not

Saanuers Lifeworle-The last message

Itt lereel irs one of great impres.siveness
and weight. His age and long, clear
record commanded a respectful hearing,
and bis unique relatien Lo Jeleovah gave
hie words a peculiar solemnity. Other
leaJers hnd brought their public lives
to a cese in this manner. He follow-
ed in the steps of Moses and. of Joshua,
who on hiSlOrie 00011SiOSIS gave their
parting couneel and warning in the
name of the Lord to the assembled peo-
ple. A glance at the conditions of the
,lirne when Samuel took up hie work
serves to show bis inmortance as the
force which held together the old and
the new, and safely bridged a most mo.
neentous period of transition. An or-
ganizer of the people was needed. Them
was searcely such a thing es national

!Gigs immediately coneernod joined to-
gether, Lound by temporary common
interests, and lecal leaders from leme
to time sumeeded in maintaining a
kind of confoletacy of the tribes; but,
this was occastonal and far from COST1-
Ode. Samuel in his travels from place
to place as judge and by hie wide influ-
ence paved the way for ,the unity of a
national life under the early kings, The
extension of territory was iinperative.
All the land from the Mediterranean to
the desert and from Syria M the wild-
erness; belonged to the twelve tribes in
promise, but actually they did not pos-
sess it. The splendid victories of Joshua
ane hie host had not Leen followed up,
and the division of tho land anteing lee
chiklren of Israel while settling thole in-
ternal claims to it still left the matter
of le conquest to the strength and pow -
ere of each tribe. For Rio most part
the .peopW were quite willing to make
