far perhaps as that Of the last twenty
five years has in turn outstripped It.
The new ideas Of God" which Il has
produced give the basis for a new
twentieth century religion superior to
all others. Some Of these new ideas
are monotheism, immanence, Gods
love, the alteration (dulia, not latria)
Of all righteous persons. and the
tendency toward progress" 1t rejects
polytheism, apotheosis, tribal religion,

WOULD APPEAL TO REASON
Writer Gives His Personal Views as
to the Proper Bringing Up

It seems to me that there should
be few rules for a boys guidance,
says d successful business man. Those
few should be rules Of prime fLe

His punishmcntS, as we'll as his tri-
umphs, should come as natural con-
sequences Of his own acts rather than
as penalties imposed or fayors be-
slowed by his parents.
Every time a boy does a thing or
refrains from doing thing because
he decides for himself that, as a mat
ter Of right or wrong, he ought to do
or ought not to do it, the boy makes
character. Every time he does a
thing or refrains from doing thing
merely because he is compelled to act
or refrain from acting by reason of
the dictum of parents, he loses some
character.
do not mean that boys should not
have the benefit Of the experience
and intelligence Of parents. They
most certainly should. But it should
be an influence appealing to their
reason rather than an injunction ap-
pealing to their comprehension Of
punishment if disobeyed.
