have just finished the reading Of
a book which is to me one Of the mar.

fury, namely, The Truth of Religion.
by Adolph Eucken of h German uni
versity. 1t is a work for which Pro
fessor Eucken was awarded the No
bel prize in 1908, and 1t has been pro-
nounced by the University Of Berlin
and the Imperial Scientific Society Of
Germany as one Of the ntost. marvel
GUS contributions to religious thought
in the history Of the race.
In that book Professor Eucken has
made h marvellous deduction to the
effect that the world, during the TWEEN
tieth century, will wend its way back
to a belief in Jesus the Christ, and
that when the purer gospel Of Christ
comes again to the hearts Of men,
that gospel will express itself through
a magnificent cooperative institution
which shall be known as a church OF
the Most High. In other words, Pro-
fessor Eucken has unconsciously Civ,

been bearing testimony to for nearly
one hundred years, namely, that the
principles of Jesus the Christ and
that the great plan of God for His
children will find expression through
a great organization Of men who are
acting tremendously and are keeping
their souls tuned to God and the In

magnificent character before the
world. His mind was never injured
by some little or petty pedagogical
principal that would have warped his
being.
Bishop c. W. Nibley
Charles w. Nibley. presiding bish
op OF the church said that the world
at large seems to be looking for ar
easy religion and he asserted that II
such class Mormonism would not be
found. He emphasized individual ex

to make life easy in many ways and
he repoiced that the many comforts
were at hand for the benefit of man
kind. However, the struggle still
was necessary, he said.
