 'Religion In Life"
 Rev. Vernon l.. Phillips, pastor of the Kensington Congregational church, delivered an interesting and instructive lecture last evening at 8 meeting of the Berlin Mems Bible class. there being about 25 mem bers present to hear him. His talk was not long, but the points brought out were good.
 He said that people have got be- yond the day when they look upon the religious life and the secular life as two watertight compartments, one having nothing to do with the other. The man who cannot carry his religion into his business, or poli- tics, or social life is open to the question of his having religion at any other time.
 "Is it right" the speaker asked, ito our religion to send our chill dren for compulsory education for five days week in well equipped schools and to well trained teachers, and then send the same children to Sunday school for 2O or 30 minute sessions for instruction in religious education, often to & poorly equipped placer"
 He asked. Are we, as A church, living up to our full possibilities and to the children who do not attend Sunday school and who are outside of religious influ- ences?"
 The talk Was we'll given and heartily enjoyed. Following the the customary refreshments were served to members. A social hour followed.
