Determining each Mar. EAR,

Every life will have its religion ac.
eording to its development. II is folly
to look for uniformity in faith until
you have uniformity in the faithful
until all minds are alike the things
those minds can see must vary. The
religion Of the man who thinks in the
terms Of the avs of a universe must
be different from that OF the one who
cannot think beyond his dinner pail or
his back yard
II religion is the life OF ideals the
power within Us that pushes u and
on toward the realization in ourselves
and our conditions Of the best we
know and hope for. then each mans
faith will be determined by his vision
and his knowledge; every individual
creed will be conditioned by the indt-
ytduals stage Of culture.
II Is folly for the trained mind tn
seek satisfaction in the ideals whose
bounds are set by the unframed mind
Just as IL equally is foolish for him Ia
mock at the vision that cheers the
iowiier life Nearly all the
difficulties between science and reli.
gion arise from the attempt to force
to a common viewpoint in religious
minds that dwell almost a whole uni
verse apart in all the rest Of their
thinking.
