others as excessive, and some very

IN SEARCH OF TRUTH,

According TO a short article In Public
Opinion, there is a notable movement
In japan, which Is characterized as a
search Tor religious truth--something
better than that which is found in
Buddhism, Shintosm and Christianity,
The movement is said to be headed BY
one Dr. Tnoue Tetsujlro. lie attacks
all the creeds that happen to come TO
his notice. and he explains his position
thus;
"My new religion Is not a patching
up of ancient doctrines ] would Ike to
find u new essence for Our life, but not
new form. The form has constantly
changed through the centuries, and all
forms are alike But there IL an essence
which has never changed"
His view is that all the old religions
are superannuated because they are
based upon words and external cere-
monies. People, he says IRE like child
rem They need toys. Christianity and
Buddhism are their toys His own re-
ligion, he says, is but for cultivated
minds.
Search for truth cannot but be con-
sidered good sign, for the promise
always holds true that he who seeketh
shall find. Religious indifference is the
worst obstacle TO progress towards
truth. The Japanese doctor Is correct In
his conclusion that there is an eternal
essence Of truth, revealed in various
forms. Just as life reveals itself in a
multitude of variations, although the
force itself thus manifested comes from
but one Eternal Source. He Is also right
in assuming that forms may become OBJ.
solete: that forms suitable for one age
may become useless for another. His
next conclusion should be that, wisdom
dictates the necessity Of accepting as
genuine manifestations OF the eternal
essence. only those forms which bear
the impress of divine power and au.
thority.

four years has been from 1908 to sl7.
The explanation offered for this state
OF affairs is as remarkable as the feet
itself The Congregationalist says that
the churches now do not, as rule,
want men of experience and maturity
In the pulpIts. Men with an honorable
record and ability are discharged be-
cause they are no longer young and
young men are preferred. The result
Is that thoughtful young men will not
study for calling, in which they are
not wanted as soon as they are past the
middle age, especially when they can
find more remunerative callngs In
which to maintain their families.
Strange to say, the women are blamed
for this anomalous condition. The
women are in the majority In the Pro-
testant denominations. and they rule,
