but there is no less of interest in those
questions which are searching in their

gone abroad that religion as taught in
the churches is to a great extent mere

worthy of confidence. On the other

conditions: but we believe they give
sure promise of profound revival of
interest in religion in the near future.
One of the ways in which religious re-
vival has already shown tokens of its
coming is in the growing recognition of
the social meanings of religion The
great social need of the present. as we'll

the third commissioner district OF
Noble county, where new commis-

that the jurisdiction was here, theY!all
assented to the opinion that the com
