BY G. Loves Dickinson.

The impression America makes
on me is that the windows are blocked
up. 1t has become incredible that this
continent was %colonized by the Pilgrim
fathers. That intense, narrow, unlove-
ly, but genuine spiritual life has been
transformed into industrial energy; and
his energy, in its new form. the
churches, oddly enough, are endeav-
oring to ~recapture and use to drive
their machines. Religion is becoming
a department of practical business. The
churches-orthodoX andr unorthodox,
old and new, Christian, C~hristian-Sci-
entific, t~heosophic, higher thinking
vie with one another in advertising
goods which are all material benefits:
Follow me, and you will get rich"
''Follow me, and you will be cheerful,
prosperous. successful"
Religion in America is nothing If
practical. 1t does not concern itself
with a life beyond: it gives you here
and now what you want. What do
you want? Money? Come along! Sue
cess? This is the shop! Health? Here
you are! Better than patent medi-
cines! The only part of the gospels
one would suppose that interests the
modern American is the miracles; for
the miracles really did do something.
h conversion of religion into bust
ness is interesting enough. But even
striking is what looks like a con-
version of business into religion. Bust
ness is SO serious that it sometimes as
the shrill tone of a ~revivalist

THE RELIGION OF AMERICA.
BY Gerald Stanley Lee.

Letting the crowd be good, all turns
IN the long run upon touching the
imagination of crowds.
In the last analysis, the coming OF
the kingdom of heaven, as it has been
called, IS going to be the coming slowly
and from unsupported quarters of a
new piety and of new kinds of saint
into the forefront of modern life-saints
who can attract attention, saints who
can make crowds think what they real
ly want.
Using the word in it's more special
sense the time has come when it is be-
ing keenly realized that if goodness is
to be properly appreciated by crowds,
1t must be properly advertised.
