The figures of the last religious CEN
sus Of Germany have been published
and include the statement that only u
S44 people in Prussia profess them
selves to be without the christian or
the Jewish faith 1t does not follow of
course that all but these seven thou
sand and odd hundreds are religious
people But the fact that in Germany,
SO often denounced as atheistic, so
small number should have thus de-
clarea themselves unbelievers, is a
significant event
One connects these figures with the
growth of German socialism, which is
none the less marked because in the
last election many who are not in the
habit OF voting against the socialistic
programme, end many3others who usu-
ally identify themselves with the So
cial democracy found themselves on
the other side in a apartIcular issue. So
cialism, especially in Germany, has
been accused of atheism; but even if
all the 7,344 unbelievers We're social
lists as is not likely, that is only an
ineonsiderable fraction of the millions
of German socialists.
1T is easy to mistake hostility to the
church in some particular form of it
for hostility to christianity. The masses
of the German people are estranged
from the state church. and other
christian bodies have failed to make
progress in Germany. But as Ger
many's best friends have always insist
ed. the heart of the German people is
profoundly and inalienably religious.
These figures have an important
bearing upon the religious interests of
this country, whose most advanced
thought is dependent upon German
thought, and the RANKS of whose pop
ulation are so largely recruited from
Germany The thought of Germany
cannot be so atheistic as many fear.
growing from a soil so religious. And
the masses of the German people, how
ever their religious ideas and practic-
es differ from those native to American
soil, cannot be SO pervasive of reli-
gion and morality as many have repre-
sented
The persistence and strength of re-
ligious forces are also being shown in
the continuance of the conflict between
Catholicism and the French govern
ment. 1t is plain that the French peo-
pie have committed themselves to the
separation of church and state. 1t is
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1907-02-16
RELIGIOUS NEWS NOTES

becoming equally plain that this does
not mean to the French people the sup
preston of the church as a spiritual
power, nor the violation of the religious
impulse. The pope and the French
bishops with him are solicitous that
the new rrangements in regard to the
Catholic churches in France shall not
throw the management of these
churches into other than religious
hands. The pope contends that the
control Of Catholic churches must be
with those who must controi If they
are to continue Catholic churchesSg In
this ISSUE as it is becoming ufldef-
stood, the heart Of the French people
is with the pope, as are increasing the
sympathies OF the world, Protestants
and Catholics alike. 1t is not neces-
sary for the popes success that he
should maintain all the rights to which
the church may lawfully be entitled. 1T
is only necessary that in these times Of
crisis for the church he should ensure
the maintenance of the Catholic relig-
ipus bodies in France as Catholic and
religious, to win the applause of the
christian world (Christian in its pro-
foundest feelings, as evoked in days of
fundamental decision) and to prove
himself the worthy successor of the
great Leo When one reflects upon
the beautiful and simple character of
this peasant pope, one is profoundly
moved by the struggle he is passing
through and hopes for him the real tri-
umph which such a character deserves.
That the outcome of the religions con-
test in France may be the furtherance
of christianity and Catholicism must
be the prayer of every broadminded
christian, whatever form of christian
fty he may hold.

The demand that the health board

In the milk brought here every day is
commencing to bear fruit. DIR. Dar-
lington, the president of the health
board, estimates that there are S00,-
900 tuberculosis cattle in this state,
while only about one-eighth of the
milk Is pasteurized or sterilized. 1t is
admitted by the authorities that milk
has been labeled as pasteurized when
IL was never treated. According to
the best experts on pasteuriZation,
germs are not at all destroyed until
the milk is subjected to a tempera-
ture of 165 degrees for at least twenty
minutes. Samples of milk taken
from stores recently have frequently
shown 100000 germs to the quart.

on account of the basketball game With

that one of the debaters, who is also
basketball man, did not wish to en-

before the big debate. The game be-

probability occur next Tuesday, and
will decide the interdepartment cham

this game as both teams are excep-

between the two departments.
