Optimistic Address on Attitude Of the
Present Towards Religion Was
Made Last
Night.
WAS GUEST OF CLUB
Bishop Morrison Was Here to Speak
Before the Mems Club of
ST. Johns
Church.

Bishop Theodore n. Morrison, of
the diocese of Iowa of the Episcopal
church was the guest last evening of
the Mems club of st. Johns Episco-
pal church. Bishop Morrison in an
optimistic address spoke of the reaii
zauon that is coming today from the
business men and from people in all
the denominations OF the value of re-
ligion and of service FOR other people.
Bishop Morrison reviewed the stu
alton as he had seen it develop in
the last forty years. When he entered
the work in the early seventies, he
said that the scientific discoveries of
Darwin and of others had unseated
the popular belief in religion, and it
was common to find people who pre-
dicted the abandoning of belief in
religious life and activities. They
believed religion was soon to pass
away. and young clergymen had such
beliefs to combat.
AS the years went on it was found
that the discoveries of science were
simply emphasizing the truth and
that they were working hand in hand
with religion. Now since the war
has come very much deepened
thought in matters OF religion People
are realizing, as the result Of the
war, the bishop feels, that possessions
are not the only things that count
and that they are not nearly Is sads
factory as service for someone else
Christian religion il the one insti
tuition which Is teaching and further
ing this doctrine of service. B1si
ness men who have neglected religion
and religious. work are commencing
to realize this and are giving them
selves to the work as they have
never before.
That Bishop Morrison's address
was appreciated was shown by The
splendid way in which it was re
ceived- The bishop gave one of the
best talks he has ever delivered here
