TO the present-the individuals he called
II which was ushered In by Rousseau,
Paine and jefferson, and this, nc said, was
gradually giving place TO the fraternal
form of government.
He then declared that religion had not

10 do with man. He defined religion it
had been defined by various bodies in diff

said the definition of religion to-day was
