PROBLEM OF RELIGION

This problem seems more perplex-

And neither can man furnish his
own perfect idealelse he were on the
plane OF the pagan, who makes his
gods with his own hands and then
bows down and worships them. But
our Perfect Man Is furnished by God
himself. and we are commanded to
enthrNe him in our minds and hearts
and to grow In his likeness where we
shall experience fulness of joy and
peace and liberty. And this estate is
not to any favored people, but all
classes and conditions can know It's
purity and its power from personal
experience. And there is nothing
more beautiful than to see the com.

for the religion of the Lord Jesus
Christ In connection with their every
day duties. Physicians who heal the
soul on one hand as they heal the body
with the other; lawyers who plead
the cause Of their clients before the
