Of some visitation, scrupulously regu-

tive was heard Of him for long time.

Repentance Under the Redwoods.

The Government is accustomed to

even in stamps as contributions to the

opened at the office of the Governor
of California was found to contain a
sizeable slab Of bark from a redwood
tree. Its sender stated that he had
stripped it off as Ions ago as 1905,
but that his act Of vandalism had so
proved upon his mind that he could
no longer retain 1t.
Perhaps the removal Of this piece
of bark did not hurt the giant Of the
forest, greatest and Oldest OF living
things. Perhaps it was not even
marred greatly. But no man is skilled
enough to replace it as it was before

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

There are many today who, lacking
a broad vision of human concerns,
seem to feel that there Is danger
that the influence Of Jesus is some
how or other being impaired. and the
institutions He called into existence
threatened with early dissolution. A
more careful study of the situation
discloses the fact that His grip upon
the minds of men is. as a matter Of
fact, stronger today than it has ever
been before. 1t may be that the
world is at times unresponsive to
stern dOgmatism or to the excesses
Of institutionalism. There are evil
dences on every hand that 1t is re-
sponsive to that kind of expression
of faith in a living and compelling
Master, where His personality and
teaching are adequately and con-
sistently set forth
Lincoln's declaration that he was
in search Of a church that in it's very
nothing more or less than Jesus
Christ and Him crucified is but an
other form of expression of the
worlds yearninE today. The over
accent upon the institutions i'm
portance and authority must give
place to- a new accent upon the su-
preme personality that it essays to
represent.
An exceedingly clever woman said
recently. when asked to join a re-
ligious institution, II will do so, pro-
vided it does not take away from me
my Christ" 1t was a significant OBJ
servation. A striking thing about
Jesus is His modernism. The utter
facility with which He fits into every
age and every condition of life makes
Him a n1odernist in the best sense of
the word. He is,a modernist because
He meets and answers modern con-
ditions and modern needs. To the
disillusioned and disappointed, to the
sorrowing and confused, to the
tempted and SHINING. He comes with
message that is 80 adaptable that
it fits every condition and meets
every situation. The religion of the
Christian Church is the religion of a
personality. Its devotion may ex-
press itself through many and varied
forms. from the simplest to the most
ornate, but the churches of every
name need to- he solemnly reminded
today that their compelling power,
as well as their security, reside in
making evident to men and women
that their one supreme purpose Is to
manifest Jesus Christ and Him
crucified.

THE UNCHANGING CHRIST"
HebreMs, riii.S-"Jesus Christ, the
same yesterday and today and

forever"
Judged in terms Of sheer popular
ity and universal favor, Jesus Christ
stands supreme in human thought to-
day. Living as we do IN q period of
sweeping changes, where systems and
practices that are time - red are
swept away overnight, this supreme
personality maintains it's place and in
creasingly deman nds the reverent study
and devotion of thoughtful men the
world over. However critics or scholars
may interpret the meaning Of His life
and teachings-yes, however confused
His accredited exponents may be-still
the fact remains that this great Mas
ter appeals today as never before to
every type and class, and His influ-
ence upon human thought and action
grows and expands with every recur
ring period. A modern distinguished
writer maintains that the most strik-
ing thing about Jesus is His original
ity. No one questions the unique.
ness of His place among the great
religious teachers. To our mind the
most singular thing about Him is His
unfailing persistence down the long
centuries Of time. At various times
men have sought to hinder His prog
lcoS anu 10 impair his inIlUenCe.
Voltaire in a period of speculation
and doubt maintained that the insti-
tuition of the Christian Church would
not last out another so years of time.
In another period Of large scientific
research, with it's attending dis
closures, men feared for the prestige
and permanence of Christian institu-
tions and wondered whether it's SOW
ereign teacher could continue to hold
His place of supremacy and power
When scholarship gave itself more
completely to the study Of the Scrip
lures, bringing with it much of val
ue, and yet shifting old positions that
had been regarded as permanent. it
for the while disturbed those who
felt that the old footing stones were
being displaced. 1t is safe to say that
nothing that either science or scholar
ship has contributed has in any wise
impaired the personal influence which
Jesus continues to exercise over hui
man thought down to the latest hour
Even the colossal catastrophe of a
World War. with all it's horrors and
attending brutality, could not weaken
the hold He has upon the human
heart and mind.

The pro-tariff Democrats are James
