 Dr. Carver's Address
 pr. Carver discussed the questions. Why and How Religions Are Made" He laid down the principle that all men do make religions or accept them. Even Where men accept religions no man ever really has any more religion than he has built up in his owrR experience. In re- cent years much attention has been given to this fact and to the phenomena in which the fact finds expression in the effort to explain the fact. The answer of psychology, and philosophy is that re- ligion is bred in the soul. Man Is es- sentially, universally and nourably re- ligious, however the fact be finally ex- plained. Man is made so.
 Religion Is mans recognition of his spiritual environment and his efforts to respond to that environment and come into right relations with it. The religion or any man or group of men is the forms of worship. work and doctrine by which they seek to enter into the way of sal vation and of adjustment of themselves to God as they conceive God. This ad- justment is both individual and social; the salvation of the person and of the group.
 The regular Sunday school conducted by Harry l.. Strickland on Sunday mornings is especially interesting

These encampments are the source of mucf that's beneficial in the future to those who attend here
