POPE WILL REPLY
TO DR.. ELIOT

ROME. Aug. 19.-The address delivered
by Charles W. Eliot at the Harvard sum-
mer School of Theology on ''rhe Religion
Of the Future" has been translated by
the Pope's order into Italian that he might
more thoroughly comprehend It.
The translation, which was most accu-
rately done, was read with great care
by his Holiness. who expressed profound
regret that a man OF such authority and
culture as Dr. Eliot should spread the
ories that. he said, were not, in fact a
basis for the new religion OF the future,
but negation OF faith and the principles
which we're the foundation of Christianity
and Of modern civilization
The Pope is reported to have sad that
il would be easy TO refute and destroy
DIR. Eliots arguments, and highly prais-
ed Archbishop Ryan. Of Philadelphia
Bishop McFaul. OF Trenton. and other
American ecclesiastics who had hastened
othe defense Of their church and faith.
1t is believed that semi-offcial re-
ply to DR.. Eliots address on lines sug-
gested by the Pope himselff will appear IN
"The Civitta Cattolica.' the most rep
resentative Catholic magazine. It is man.
aged by the Jesuits, and Father Saliva
tore Brandt, an American citizen. is the
editor.
In an address before the Harvard Sum-
NOR School OF Theology, on July %, >Dr.
Charles W. Eliot, President Emeritus OF
Harvard University, outlined his idea Of
the new religion in substances, as fol-
lows
"The new religion will not be based
upon authority, either spiritual OF tenn
poral; the present geenration is ready
TO be led, but not driven. The
new religion will admit no sacrameuts
except natural, hallowed customs, and q
will deal with natural interpretations OF
such rites. Its priests will strive 10 i'm
prove social and industrial conditions.
/ II will not attempt TO reconsile people
to present ills by the promise OF future
compensation. I believe the advent OF
just freedom for mankind has been de-
layed for centuries by such promises.
"The new religion will laud Gods love
and wsll not teach condemnation for
the mass Of mankind"

Sergeant Edward Modem who is the
