The object and purpose Of religion In
the world Is not to take away. but to

the social life.
Christ teaches this by His presence and
actions at the wedding in Cana of Gal

guest and mingled with the assembled
neighbors and friends. uttering no word
Of censure against the joyous proceedings
and the glad music of the nuptial chant.
He greatly added to the pleasures OF this

When something was needed for what
was considered the proper observance Of

supplied the need. Christ would not have
made Himself conspicuous at social
