mitigation OF their own notions con-
corning Deity and doctrine, TO throw
aside entirely belief in the sublime
truths OF revealed religion, would be
going to another extreme quite as evil
as theirs.
"A mans own efforts TO create char
octer' are, no doubt, absolutely essen
tal TO his preparation for the exalted
state which viii 1T him TO enjoy the
society and glory Of his Creator and
King. But in order to learn what to
do In the formation or development Of
that character he needs divine dlrec-
ton, and that comes through the
Church established by divine dlrec-
tlon. The churches Of men are fallible,
Of course, because they are human But
the Church Of God Is IN Institution OF
His own establishment, Its principles
are eternal truth because they come
from Him. It's ordinances are neces.
sary, and Its influence and spirit lead
up to Him, and they canpot be ignored
by any one who truly desires spiritual
growth and perfection Of character.
We do not wonder that thoughtful
men repudiate the numerous conflict
Ing religious organizations which pre-
tend to be the Church OF Christ But
when they talk of creating religions for
themselves, they show their lack Of I'M
derstanding Of what real religion Is. II
each man makes a religion to suit him
self, that will only multiply the con-
tentions which prevail and cause con-
fusion worse COMPOUNDED II Is Ike the
notion that man makes God to suit
himself II is the wrong way about
God creates man. God reveals His re-
lIgion TO man. II Is definite, compre-
henslble and easy to be obeyed Every
thing else that is called religion Is Of
human origin, and really unworthy OF
the name.
We are happy In the knowledge that
God has established His Church in the
present age, and has revealed principles
Of truth which may be relied upon as
lnfallible, and also the means by which
they may be promulgated and added
TO as times and circumstances require.
They are adapted to the age in which
we live, with all its improvements in
science, IN art, in literature and intel
lectual advancement, II casts aside the
man made theology Of the past, and the
errors and notions that have grown up
in perverted minds concerning Him, His
will and His ways. There is In 1t suf-
ilcient liberty OF thought and action
to satisfy every reasonable soul, and
yet 1t prescribes regulations for human
conduct which are necessary for the
full development Of man into the per-
lection Of the Eternal Being from whom
he sprang. 1t is desplsed by the multi
tude today. but 1t will yet command
the respect, the admiration and the
obedience Of the best people OF all the
nations on the face Of the earth.

The American Hebrew.

The religious atmosphere has slightly
cleared. We have had a difficult prob
lem here, but one Of our own choice, A
new environment opposing customs,
newer thought, better ideas of refine

has been displayed, Synagogues have
been erected IN far-off communities,
the communities have grown; charity
has become more systematic. the very
root Of the evil has been approached In
many instances. Former cosmopolites
have become ardent conseryors OF the
customs and virtues Of the olden time.
Not all the religious work has been
done In the synagogue, the rightful CEN
ter OF all religious effort. The work
has been done by the sisteThoods, by
the councils Of Jewish women. by the
Jewish Chautauqua society, and, IN
some measure, by the fraternal organ
izations. Now what we may hope for
Is the direction OF an effort toward the

BUILDING LINES
Changes on Hotel Street Planned by
the Department.

The Public Works department is at
present negotiating to have the Hotel
street building line put back from the
Elite building to Union street to con-
form with the line recently established
from the Elite building to Alakea
street. If this is done negotiations will
be begun to lop off a portion Of the
frontage now occupied by King Broth
ers and Steiner's as far as the Mott
Smith building. The increasing traffic
on Hotel street which has been appar-
ent during the last eight or nine
months makes the widening of the en-
tire street imperative.
The section between Alakea and
Richards street, which is a tortuous
thoroughfare, is sadly in need of wild
ening. The Rapid Transit railway line
will be laid along the present length
of Hotel street if this is done and not
make detour by way of Alakea street.
The company has about completed
negotiations VITA property owners to
run the line through from Printers
