 Bulgaria deserts the central alliance to make peace. We, the German people, then, remain as one to face the French, English and the Americans, our back to the wall and death facing us. Such is the situation that we have in view to- day and we must meet it with the neces- sary courage"

The Next Step I'm Religion.

Those who do not believe that re-
ligion and science cannot dwell in
harmony would do well to read The
Next Step in Religion" CThe Mac
MILAN Company. S1.50 metz by Roy
Wood Sellars Phi. D. The book is a
discussion of religious belief from
the viewpoint of science.
Prof. Sellars brings before his
readers the latest conclusions in
anthropoIogy in natural science. in
Biblical criticism, and in many other
fields of research. and presents
these conclusions in simple and
effective fashion. He shows the ma
ture of the origins of religion in
primitive customs, and the appear
ance OF most of the principal relig-
ious beliefs in an early stage of
human culture. He discusses the
various early religions. especially
that of the Hebrews, analyzes the
record of the four Gospels, takes
Up the Transformation of the early
Church through st. Panrs theology.
and goes on to discuss the course
of the Catholic and Protestant or
ganizations and the theologies.
The religion which the author
urges is a religion freed from dog
ma and ritual, but devoted to cer-
tain ideals or values in life. Loy-
atty is to be the great virtue, and
loyalty is to show itself in ration
al determination of values and cour-
ageous seeking after them.

HOROSCOPE.
SUNDAY, DECEMBER q, 1918.


Astrologers read this as a doubtful
day. Although the Sun is in benefic
aspect late in the afternoon, Uranus.
Jupiter and Saturn are all adverse.
1t is a most auspiCious sway under
which TO visit relatives, especially
those from which benefits are likely

Uranus gives warning of religious
change and even of dissensions
'fmong church folk. While there will
be an access of zeal and increase of
faith old prejudices about creeds may
be revived. owing to some political or
national problem.
There is sign warning against
speech that is unkind. Criticism and
slander are believed to be encouraged
by the aspects of the stars. which
encourage jealousy and envy.
Increase of interest in Free Mas
onry is to be one of the signs OF the
times.
All organizations will flourish in
the coming year in which men and
women will unite to further work
that will aid humanity and estab-
lIsh a new order of things.
Saturn seems TO forecast labor un-
rest and especially troubles in mines.
This day is not favorable to either
the health or the welfare Of the
aged.

To see the nations slay and slain

Finds ripe reward by mornings light,
