forms Of dogma and ethics, which are
too small to hold the new spirit of
religion. We have not even yet
learned that We cannot put new wine
into old skins. The Bishop illustrates
his point by Ikening the church to "a
motherly old hen which has unexpect-

sturdy goslings;; and when they take
to their native element, she flies
Seeding and chuckling along the
bank, vainly trying to bring them back

wings" He continues: ITO put it
plainly, the church has carried down
the ages the teachings and the spirit
Of the prophets and apostles of old
and above all of her Divine Master,
the Christ. To-day those teachingP
and that spirit are finding issue and
expression in mighty impulses and
movements of scientific and philoso-
phical research, political righteous
ness, social service, economic justice,
commercial honesty and Industrial
equity. The churches do not recog-

Olivet newspaper correspondents have

can be offered than the fact that at
a critical time the team blew up. Up
