the leper is cured by chaulmoogra

ably disposed knew no better Than
20 give aims 10 beggars. but modern
scientific charity shows how the
poor can he helped without increas-
ing pauperism. Faith without works
is dead. SO are works without faith.
Mere knowledge cannot of itself
supply the motive for self-sacrifice
for others or for the future 1t
cannot make a mother risk her life
for her child or a man 10 risk his
life for his country. The altrustic
impulse is religious instinct
whether II is recognized as such or
not.
Mortality is a matter OF in
dividual motive although the morals
may be set by the community. Not
all sins are social. a man does not
need any help to be wicked.
Socioiey though an immature
science has already done much for
religion by pointing out wise
methods of altruistic activity. Psy-
cholgy. a still younger science
promises to do still more for re-
ligion by disclosing the emotional
motives for our conduct and show
ing how character can be trained.
