The Introduction of the wig helped

large hats with plunes going out Of

Then, instead Of wearing hats m

and often carried them in their hands
when out of doors. The Purifans in

Relation il Everyday life.

The widespread impression that re-
lIsion is thing Of life apart and not
an essential part Of profitable life is
at the bottom Of ali our social prob
lens. We're the people taught, not
merely preached 10 on Sundays, but
taught In school from infancy to old
age. that 10 deal justly. to be kind
and generous, and TO revere the pow
efs above earthly powers, our social
affairs would soon assume. or approx
Innate. the conditions contemplated by
the Master. In these more enlighf-
ened times men want to know the
value OF religion rs a personal asset
In life rather than a promised assur
ance Of peace and comfort after
death. An occasional sermon on the
value of religion as a personal asset
IN social and business life would be
helpful to many tOllers. Erasmus
