The voluminous writings of Mr.. Car
negic have been searched with view
to asccrtaining his ideas on religion,
and it was pointed out day that while
there was no definite expression Of his
attitude toward organized religious
work, it was made plain that he be-
lieved implicitly in higher and better
world.
In this connection there was quoted
the tribute which he paid to the coun-
try church in his book, "The GOSPEL
of Wealth." The writer said that the
millionaire made good use Of his money
when he replaced an ugly country
church when he came upon it with a
noble specimen of architecture, built
as the pyramids, to stand for genera
lions. lie QcScrlDed the ChurCh as en-
bracing an enchanted realm which lay
afar from the material and prosaic.
His Tribute to Church
"Oncc within its massive circle its
dcnizens live there an. inner life more
precious than The EXTERNAL and all
their ways are hallowed by the radiance
which shines FRONT afar upon this
inner life, glorifying everything and
keeping all right Within"
