DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

be answered and how?
II am very glad to have made
your acquaintance"
2. II business friend asks
you to luncheon, should you
thank him afterward? If 40.
what would be the proper words
to say?
Yes, you should acknowledge
the fact that the other person has
made a gracious and kind com
ment. 1t is reasonable that you
should thank for this. Say:
Thank you. I am very glad to
have met you too" AS a matter
of fact, Thank you" and a
gracious bow and smile are SUI.
ficient, but not very warm
hearted.
Whether or not you add to this
expression of appreciation de-
ponds on how enthusiastic you
really are about the meeting.
That 10, you may add, II hope
that l am to have the pleasure
OF seeing you again some time"
or soon" II you wish to be more
friendly.
2. Yes, you should always
thank your host, whether, you
know him in a business or social
way, for his hospitality. Say, at
least, Thank you so much for

are now making upon God aid
religion.
Not Without Fault
Books and papers, pamphlets
and lectures are multiplied with
a zeal SO hot and an enmity so
implacable as to excite astonish-
ment. why so fierce to destroy
God, little man? Only the god Of
the savage would hurt you, and
not always he. Why so eager to
draw down your own race to the
common brute level Of sheer
materia1ity?
But those who uphold religion
are not without fault. They re-
fuse to recognize that religion il
a human sentiment, and subject
like all such sentiment to va
riations of form and expression,
without losing its fundamental
nature. Man does not remain, in
all respects, the same as the GEN.
turtles pass, and while his do
minion over the forces Of nature
expands. But the evolution Of
man involves the evolution Of hrs
religious ideas. So the advance
of science does have a great deal
to do with the changing forms of
religion. which are the product
of theology. Theologies are
religious theories based on ter.
restrial facts. If they are not
kept up to date they are apt to
be run over by the advancing
car Of scientific knowledge.
Immense harm is done to the
