name Of religion, have only so much
religion as they may by force or by &C
cident express in the morality they eff
feet to despise. A mans religious pro-
LESSONS are no guide to his moral
character, but his moral practice is a
safe guide to his religious sincerity.
Is there any difference between the
realities of religion and morality? Can
one be religious without moral l1vtng2
Can one be moral without the religious
spirit? What is religion but the in
spiration of morality and morality but
the vitalizing expression Of religion?
Morality is the art of the right con-
duct Of life, especially in relation to
ones fellow beings The moral man
sees before him standards and ideals
of living, personal and social; his
sense Of duty is the obligation to DO
certain things and to avoid others be-
cause these are for the good or the Ill
Of that ideal Of personal rightness
and social good which he cherishes.
Religion Is the life Of ideals, the life
of goodness and truth and service be-
cause these seem to be the supremely
desirable aims in life. 1t is the life
that cherishes the great thoughts Of
the past, the high vision Of character
and civilization that men have dream
ed, the spiritual heritage of the ages;
it is the life that counts all things but
dross that it may win character and
social completeness.
When the man who avows the moral
aim says that he has no use for relig-
ion he is probably thinking of it's form
and it's furniture. He seeks the right
life and he cannot see that songs and
ceremonies, from which time and
changing conditions often have taken
all deep significance, have any value or
helpfulness to him.
Often the difficulty comes however,
because we who seek the moral ends,
the high aims Of character and service,
fail to see how deep is our need Of the
| inspiration and light that religion can
| give. No man can live for great pur-
poses unless he cherishes high ideals,
world Of spiritual values.
In the fight for the full and free life
| we need to know that we do not fight
alone, that we are but part Of a great
and glorious army that has been strug-
| Cling up through all the ages past. We
| need to catch the vision of the glori-
| Gus army of martyrs and to feel the
| glow of strength that comes from touch
with the great souls Of every age.
We may read any kind of meaning
we will into the words by which we
attempt to describe the infinite being.
| God may be definite person or only
an influence or an ideal. But our NOR
atty needs the dynamic Of that ideal,
the sense of the great spirit Of truth
that works through us all to the reali-
zation Of our best thoughts and hopes
for all.
Let man honestly follow his moral
ideals; let him pay the price they will
| demand Of him let him invest himself
| In their achievement, and he will not
need to worry about religion; he will
come to sense Of the spiritual values
| of his service; he will find himself a
part of the great company of those who
have lived for the kingdom OF the
good; he will know the power that
works in us for the right.

SHORT METER SERMONS.

No man finds fame by hunting 1t.
There is no obedience under compul-
sion.
The rambling preacher seldom hits
the green pastures.
Ideals of character are the conscience
Of society.
He never finds himself who never de-
MES himself.
The highest religion is to do the
lowliest things well.
They who pour out their hearts never
empty them.
A man may deceive himself, but he
never fools destiny
Our toughest experiences often arise
from our smoothest tricks.
The mournful saint works a good deal
more harm than the cheerful sinner.
It's a wabbly man who complains
that the platform is not broad enough
for him.
1t is easy to shut our eyes to the
brother who is down when our hungry
hands are going out to the one who is
up.
DON'TS FOR CHURCHMEN.
Don't confound morality with relig-
ion.
Don't mistake self-adulation for self
respect.
Don't expect to love when reverence
has departed.
Don't become selfish because selfish
ness is the essence of sin.
Don't close your heart to heaven If
you want to dwell therein.
Don't try to get to heaven by covering
up your faults.
Don't patch lie unless you want to
make larger rent.
Don't boast your helpfulness to others
if you would not be regarded as self
satisfied.
Don't forget that the self-satisfed
soul may come far short Of satisfying
God.
Don't hunt for a martyrs crown IN
less you are sure your head will bear
one up.
Don't undertake to know more about
God unless you are willing to know
more about your fellowmen.

INSPECTOR LOOKS AFTER
INDIAN ALLOTNIENTS

a. NJ Tinker, inspector of Indian
affairs of the department of the in
terror, is in the city in an endeavor
to locate Indians and ascertain their
desires as to whether they wish to
retain allotmcnts made them by the
government or prefer to relinquish
them to the government or exchange
them for other portions of govern
ment lands, says The Dalles Chron-
icle.
The allotments in question are in
oregon in township 2 north, range
IS, east Willamette meridian. and
compromise some Is to 20 allotments.
Originally the lands in question
were granted to the Northern Pacific
railroad company on condition that
1t complete its line between Walula
and Portland under certain conditions
as regards time, etc. These lands
were portions of the grant which in
cluded every odd section adjacent to
the line of the company.
The railroad company failed to
comply with its portion Of the agree
ment, and the lands reverted to the
government. Later the railroad re-
organized under the name of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company
and the grant was renewed.
But in the meantime white men
had settled on the lands which by
the delinquency of the railroad had
reverted to the government, and al
lotments to non-reservation Indians
had been made here by officials OF
the Indian affairs of the govern
ment. That he may ascertain wheth-
er the Indians who were given these
allotments wish to retain them, re-
linquish or exchange them for other
lands is the mission of Mr.. Tinker in
this city at this time. He has been
here several days, and thinks It will
