THE ARGUMENT FOR RELIGION.


For generations theologians have
written learned treatises to prove the
existence Of God, writes q contributor
to Golfers editorial page. Each gen.
Grafton has overthrown the conten-
tons of its predecessor. and forced
restatement of the arguments. Yet
through 1t all the faith of men has
gloriously persisted. with small regard
for the theologies, natural and dog
matte. One reason for this is COM
pactly stated by that incorrigible
idealist, Rudolf Eucken, in hir newly
translated knowledge and Life"
The peace of mind and the fullness
of hope which religion brings to the
souls of men have undoubtedly meant
far more than all the efforts Of theolo-
gians and philosophers to found relig
ion upon a scientific basis. -. 1t IL
because religion Is no mere theory of
divine things. but the inauguration Of
a new life. that it cannot possibly
doubt the real presence of a Divine
Being within the human soul.
More and more we incline to think
that one who has had no experience
of religious power cannot, after all, be
argued into accepting the Divinity and
His religion by any intellectual per-
suasion. The person who has exper-
fenced the saving power of religion
needs no proof Of its validity. It il
real to him as love il to the mothered
child.

Kansas Industrialist. The fly did not.
however, come to this country direct
from Russia, but is believed to have

the war of the Revolution.
While it has been for years a real
danger to the wheat crop of Kansas.
the Hessian fly can be controlled. In
