RELIGIOUS CRISIS IMPENDING

Charles w. Elliot for many years
president of Harvard college in an
address before the Harvard summer
school of theology Thursday prophes
led the coming of new religion. 1T
will not be bound by dogma or creed,
he said. Its workings will be simple
but it's field of action limitless. It's
discipline will be the training in the
development Of cooperative good will
1t will attack all forms of evil. There
will be no supernatural element; il
will place no reliance on anything but
the laws of nature. Prevention will
be the watchword and a skilled sur
geon one of its members. There viii
be no personification of natural OBJ
jects; there will be no dedication OF
remarkable human beings.
"The new religion will not teach
that character can be changed quickly.
1t will not deal chiefly with sorrow
and death, but with joy and life. God
will be so imminent that no informed
larry will be needed. It's priests will
strive to improve social and industri-
al conditions. The new religion will
not attempt to reconcile people to pre-
sent ills by the promise of future com
pensation."
ha Of M
Protestant religion on the people of
this country has progressed so rapidly
of late years that even the blindest
now recognize the condition that con
fronts and the inevitable sequence OF
events. DIR. Elliot in admitting this
is merely voicing an insistent fact.
Whether the. remedy that he foresees
is a good one few years is likely to
demonstrate for things are moving
rapidly.
With this trend in America the ten
dency in Europe is of perhaps more
moment. France which has gone the
farthest in the separation of church
and state has this week offered the
premiership of the nation to M. Arts
tide BRAND, socialist, agnostic and
author of the final draft of the sepa-
ratist law. There is a world wide cri-
sis in religious beliefs and methods
impending. 1t is wise prophet who

How to Pack Flowers.

For packing shallow boxes should
be used, as the flowers will travel
much better If packed in single layers
The boxes should be just long enough
to comfortably accommodate the flow
ers and should be lined with some soft
non-absorbent material. Wood wool
is the best material to use, but fresh
moss will also answer the purpose.
Over this place a layer Of white tissue
paper and then lay the flowers in po-
sition, packing them as closely as pos
sible. Cover with another layer OF
tissue paper and fill in If necessary
with a little more packing material
and when the lid Is placed in position
the contents Of the box are quite firm
and unable to shift-From the Gar

On the following morning they were
convinced that the deal was good
one when they went TO the Nineteenth

the safety vault section of the bank
met Danny Roberts as that young man
came out of small compartment in
his shirt sleeves with a package of
papers in his hands and a pencil be-

would be at the appointed place at

planned that it was the Office of a
friend who dealt in curb stocks and
was seldom in. but allowed him free

took from the case two packages, eX-

outer signs and seals. Quickly cutting
one of them open, he disclosed large
bundles Of money. 1t took half hour
to count this out and ascertain that
there was $4,000 in the lot Fifteen

Cleland. Il once did young fellow

trouble. He's the trusted messenger

for a lot of smaller banks and also
gets the biggest part of the city's de-
posits. They get thousands of dollars
in old and dirty money every week

on Wall street. getting new bills in re-
turn. This young friend of mine has
been the messenger and made the ex-
changes. He says they never even
open the sealed packages Of bills that
he takes to them and which have been
certified to by the officers of the bank.
The subtreasury simply o KS the
amount on the back of the package
and forwards it with lot of similar
bundles to Washington, where the old
and dirty money Is never counted, but
just ground up and destroyed. He has
thought the whole plan out and says
he can substitute phony package for
the one with the old bills in it. He
has to have some one in the deal with
him. for he would never dare to try to
get rid Of the old money. l saw him
this afternoon and tomorrow he will
have to make his regular weekly trip,
