OF witches in early days is now the
home of Unitarian congregation.
SO wide does the pendulum swing.
from bigotry TO universallsm.
Mrs, Humphrey Ward. whose latest
novel does not deal with theology at
all, is quoted rs saying in recent
London address:
For large numbers of religious
minds, conscience has become, has
taken the place of, revelation. 1t is
not merely theory. not merely psych-
ology, it is faith which says. Rev
erence Thyself. for in thyself alone is
the message of God. and the power
of infinite development
From this it would seem that Mrs.
Ward is no longer satisfied with the
halfway position defined in Robert
Elsmere. but has joined with the eyo-
lutionists in worship of the reign of
law. as exemplified in conscience.
AS a sample of the sentiment that
appeals to one in the loneliness of the
long Arctic night, the following verses
are quoted;
IN A FAR COUNTRY.
BY Arthur Ketchum.
VIII you take me back again
Hills and woods | knew of old?
VIII you take me back again
With my sorrow and my stain,
VIII the old-time love still hold
VIII you make me whole again
Silent hills and sunny land?
Broken dreams | bring to you,
Who the first young rapture knew.
VIII your pity understand?
VIII you fold me close again?
For I'm wearying to come;
Just to lay me on your breast
In your quiet and your rest,
Like a child-come home
