UN|TAR|ANS HEAR
DR.. SAMUEL ELIOT
President of Their Association
Talks Interestingly ON Relig
ion of Future.

Sincerity, simplicity, servlceabilIty, Will
be the characteristics Of the religion that
appeals to the young men and women of
the coming generation, IN the view OF
Rev. DR. Samuel A. Eliot, president Of
the American Unitarian Association.
He took this ground IN an address before
the First Unitarian Church last evening.
The speaker WAS introduced by DIR.
yroon1an, minister Of the church. In
opening his talk DR. Eliot explained that
he had preached In almost every military
camp IN this country and had met clergy
men throughout the land whose unanlm otis
opinion it was that our boys IN the service
are profoundly religious, although they
have mighty little use for the church.
While they are religious, said DR. Eliot,
they have no understanding OF religion.
They think il is a matter OF doctrine and
have been led TO believe that religion
is thing Of repression instead OF express
sion
Diversity. liberty and continuity were
also given prominence by the speaker.
In regard to the latter topic he SAID I'VE
should look 10 evolution and not to revolu-
continuity is desirable He pointed
out that we should utilize all we can OF
the treasures of the past, for We cannot
reach forward unless we stand upon some
thing Men have no contempt for the
past il it IS real.
In his last suggestion, DR.. Eliot point ed
out that youth Is interested in a religion
that does things. that affords opportunity
for service. Spiritual vitality, he added
depends upon exercise. The old learning,
DR. Eliot believes, should be a prepara-
ton for the reception and transmission
of the newer deals Of service It should
not be merely a moody, private study,
but must give a man an opportunity 10
be doer
''The war has made men sincere and
has made ridiculous a religion OF empty
words. declared Rev. Eliot. and added
that because of 1t men have gotten rid
of prejudices. have widened their synpa-
thies and have grown in moral stature.
Among all the testings and siftings, the
perfections and inconlpleteness of the
church have come TO light, p" the speaker
continued, and dogma has again proved
its fltility
DR. Eliot who rs son of the Emeritus
President OF Harvard University, was
listened to with much attention by his
audience.
