As we vie`,v condi= tions to -day we admit things have been worse hut the general tenden- cy- of life to -day is downwards. 14 n sacred things are treated neatly to -day and ridiculed by ;motile and the Press. The only re- medy is to take the religion nf' Christ-erioucly. The different fea- tures of the religion of Christ aro of great benefit to us lar ,mclving our local problems. Christ regarded God as his Father and every man as his brother. He did the revealed will of hs rather and not node the traditions of hi,. time, in do so. We must- do the will of tlocl though it aria's ns in throw aside some of the treasure:i tradit- ions. We trust emphasize the right relationship between man and man. Christ was able to do so niurh for lean because of hie eteat heart of love.
