Religion and Life.
"Religion is getting into life, into
the entire life of the people" he
said. THAT is the striking ract o.
the present hour in America, and
the great meaning of religion ror the
future. Religion has seemed the
possession of the churches, and their
differences have tended to lnteliec-
tual and moral confusion. IT has
been too much as something apart
from ordinary interests; as if it were
a great spirit sitting in judgment up
on the world, fundamentally crltlcai,
suspicious of the springs of human
action, unfriendly to the common
life
But a change is on, which is like
the coming of spring time, and which
reminds one of the saying of Jesus,
THY kingdom of heaven is at hand.

srowths, Of wonderful power. 1t

happening: the three leading religious
groups Of the nation are SO vast, so
far apart, so little understanding one
another, and the currents of relig-
lous thinking outside the churches
have as yet so little come together.

But, as far as l can understand it,

arteries, veins and cells of humanity
