He said France had undergone great
transformation in the past thirty years
and at the present time was more pros
porous than ever before. This change
came, he stated. because the Govern
ment had turned its attention to the up
building of the educational resources of
the country, and especially the facilities
for the education of women. He said that
in this age there is one thing essential
to the administration of any religion,
and that is intelligence.
