EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN d. D., LII. D.,
Bishop OF Fashingon.

real conditions of life and no rela-
ton whatever to wholesome and
rea asonable habit Of living. We would
not deny to the pulpit the right to
express convictions on great political
and economic questions thar involve
moral issues. Indeed, we believe the
social implications Of the gospel have
never been adequately expressed.
Again we would be unwilling to deny
the right of modern scholarship to
express its views concerning the later
and undisputed findings that have
come to us as the result of the most
painstaking study and research. The
issue before the church today is
neither funda me entalish or modernism.
1t is neither political or economic. 1t
has to do very largely and very vitality
with the habits and practices of our
domestic and social life. The main
issue before us. as a people, is
whether we are going to live by the
standards of our Christian religion
or whether we are going to adopt the
standards of materialistic or pagan
ideal of life. We may, for the while
fascinate and bewilder the people with
our conceits Of learning, so called.
We may, for "A brief space, have our
controversies and discussions occupy
front page space in our secular jour
nails. We may. for a while, with our
institutional agencies compete with
the great secular enterprises that pur.
vey entertainment and amusement.
These things have from time to time
been tried and they have ultimately
proved poor substitutes for that which
the church was definitely instituted
to give to man.
Rose to New Heights.
A great world war disclosed to us
our capacity to forget petty differ
ences and class rivalries and to
coalesce under the spur and inspira-
tion of a. mighty cause. Even our
party passwords and shibboleths,
precious as they are to some of us,
were for the while forgotten. We
seemed TO rise to new heights of
spiritual vision. The postwar period
has seemed to restore not only the
things we put aside, but to give place
to controversies and discussions that
have no remotest bearing upon our
present critical situation. If the
church is to be restored to it's place
OF power, we must again hear in no
uncertain terms the gospel for an
age of sin.
The great Master Of men refused
to be drawn into discussions and con
troversies that lie considered unre-
lated to the ministry for which lie
came To men. Ills one supreme pur-
pose was TO usher in the more abun-
dant life" and to demonstrate the
power Of right living as the only
power that could bring to men the
satisfaction of their deeper yearnings
and aspirations. The call today. and
1t is an urgent and insistent one. is
FOR q revival of that which His min
istry and teaching set forth. The
situation that confronts us is real
and not fancied, and if human con.
duct is to feel the compelling influence
OF His mighty teachings, the claims
of the gospel must command the en-.
thusiastic and consecrated genius Of
all those who believe in His rejuvenat.
ing, disciplining and saving power.

CRITICISM

TT is surprising how many things and
= people one may discover to find
fault with if one cultivates the proper
frame of mind 1t takes neither genius
nor unusual intelligence to detect err
r0r or 90 discover imperfections. In
fact I have sometimes thought that
the more imperfect the critic the
more likely he is to see the shortcom-
Tags and the weaknesses of others
rather than to be impressed with their
admirable qualities. Where one man
begins to accuse another of trickery
and classifying have not infreqUently
had my own suspicious. / have never
known a man found guilty of stealing
who did think the practice Of theft
quite common if not universal among
his fellows.
Most of the criticism which we hear
every day of individuals and of or
CARNATIONS is offered with the mis-
taken idea that it reveals superior
knowledge, a keener intellect, and a
better judgment, and keener insight
into human nature than that ordinarily
shown. The fellow who criticises the
member of the basketball team who
fails in making a basket, or the minis
ter whose sermon is not up to stand
ard, or the government or college Off
cial who is not running public or edu-
cational affairs to his liking, usually
does so in way to give the impression
that he knows tremendous lot about
basketball, or public speaking, or po-
litical or college matters, and that If
he would only take hand in any one
of these activities he could show the
public a thing or two. There Is no
form of conceit so colossal as that
shown by the self-constituted critic.
Most of the criticism we hear is en-
tirely destructive It preys upon the
weaknesses and frailties of human be-
ings, without trying in any way to
remedy them. This is eminently true
of feminine gossip, which is seldom
little more than destructive criticism
of the character and conduct of indi-
viduals, incidentally for the purpose
of making the critics intellect and
character by contrast seem the keener
and the more immaculate.

how people can act that way" is uSu-

PE-RU-NA

The experience of Mrs. j. c.
Dacus, 1621 Booker ST., Little Rock,
Ark, was not an unusual one. 1t
was in fact a repetition of what
has happened in thousands upon
thousands of instances. She had a
running condition of the ear from
the time she was three years old.
In spite of treatment it per-
sisted and became very offensive.
One day neighbor recommended
Pe-ru-na and La-cu-pia which had
relieved his wife of the same
trouble.
Mrs. Dacus used three bottle of
each of these quick acting RENE
dies and reports that the discharge
and offensive odor are both gone.
Her disease was one of the very
many forms taken by Catarrh and
is known as chronic Otitis.
Wherever the catarrhal condition
IS located Pe-ru-na reaches it.

ally the closing sentence Of the critics
searching analysis of his victims
character.
Eager as we are to criticize Others
very few of us accept criticism of our
selves willingly or react to it logically
If you indicate to your wife at the
breakfast table that the coffee is cold
or the biscuits UNDERGONE, she very
likely meets the criticism by asking
sarcastically if you posted the letter
which she gave you yesterday, or by
reaching across and picking a bunch
of lint from your coat collar She
iustifies her own mistakes by showing
that you, also, are in error, and meets
criticism as is usually done, not by
reform but by counter-criticism 1t is
the same principle which actuates the
small boy, who, when caught in lie
and accused of it, meets the accusation
not with denial or explanation but by
telling his accuser that he is ian
other.'
Not long ago I wrote a gentle, polite
note to an official with whom / am
associated know it was courteous
because before mailing 1t I had it CEN
sored by the chairman Of the English
department, who pronounced it Ches-
| terfie' dian-calling his attention to
certain Objectionable conditions which
existed and which it was his official
business to correct and which l further
thought, if he knew them, he would
be eager to correct. His only reply
was to certain Irregularities in my
own administration, and to suggest
that if / would give my energies to
modifying these / could do as great
service as to interest myself in his
affairs.
We use almost precisely the same
methods in politics. During a recent
political campaign most of the impor-
tant points in question were thought to
have been adequately met If some vitu-
| perative counteracting criticism were
discovered. The fact that one man
wore a set of unbecoming whiskers
and that the other had made a hasty
second marriage was enough TO satisfy
most men and all women with regard
to disputed international questions in
each respective case.
We criticize too much both private
and public individuals; we take per-
sonal criticism badly.
