widow and of keeping ones self I'M

The essence of all definitions might
be summed up in two words-depend-
ence and obligation. Religion in
wolves dependence upon q power with
out ourselves; it involves an obliga-
ton to follow the line of conduct pre-
scribed by this power.
This means that all races of men
are religious. Whether you go to the
buShmen of Australia to the Hindus.
the Buddhists, the Confucianists, the
Catholics, the Prorestants, the Jews,
you find these constant elements-de-
pendence and obligation.
Each religioniSt looks upon his own
creed as true, upon ali others as false.
Wars have been fought in support of
the rightneSS of this or that creed and
the wrongnes of the other.
new mood is coming to thought
full men, No longer are they content
to class all religions aside from their
own as false. They are viewing the
range of religious experience with new
wonder and new respect, finding in
this worldwide search for truth a
mighty testimony 20 the greatness of
the hunger of mankind for spiritual
satisfaction. No longer are men so
quick to claim all virtue for their own
creed, but they are wondering what
good things Christians might learn
from Hinduism and what truth all
might find at the feet of Confucius.
The human race is incurably re-
ligious. It's tastes in religion shift
with its increasing intelligence Re-
ligion becomes less dogmatic and more
elastic. Its obligations are increasing
ly related to the matters which touch
life. The superstitious reliance upon
words and rites yields to a new en-
phasis upon duty and character

Sunday School Lesson

Of the mezuza helped mold their
characters.
The Bible in it's varied records of
Gods attitude toward men contains
an p-to-the-minute message that
helps solve all of life's problems. Our
life is one of relationships with God
and our fellows. There is not an
experience, emergency or crisis in
our day that has not been faced by
individuals and Israel in the Scrip
lures, so that we can turn to it i'll
every hour and learn the pathway of
security, salvation and service. 1t is
packed with the facts of life and
makes clear the folly of sin. the bless
edness of the Gospel and the results
of life of service.
Spiritual Living.
Paul called upon Timothy, who had
been trained in the Scriptures by his
mother and grandmother, to live out
their teachings. The great formative
truths of Love, Reverence, Faith,
Courage, Mystery, Salvation" had
helped shape the life Of the young
preacher. The truths taught him
in his home he had found taught
him the way of salvation through
Christ. He accepted the written Scrip
lures, but he did not follow the inter
pretations of them that he had
learned as a boy, for under Paul's
teachings he had seen their reference
to the Lord, Jesus. He was the fruits
of home training, and Paul called upon
him to realize that he must use the
Bible if he wished to make his minis
try effective. 1t is still profitable
for reproof. for correction, for instruc-
ton which is in righteousness"
We cannot be completely furnished
for the Masters service unless we are
guided by its teachings.
The Scriptures not only testify of
Christ, but they point out for us the
path of service. 1t calls US to train
the youth in our home in the knowl
| edge of the Lord by unfolding to
them the Scriptures. 1t commands us
| to carry the news of redemption to
| all men. The Bible is pre-eminently
missionary book. 1t is being sent
among all nations today. 1t has, by
| it's own witnessing power, been used
to convert men and change the char.
| acter of their lives. The first book
| that a missionary translates into the
| speech of the people with whom he
works is the Bible. that grips the
| pagan as well as it does the phil.
| osopher with its message of redemp.
| ton.
| The living before men the truths
we learn in the Bible concerning the
conduct of life will completely change
our own life and convict them of sin
! Let US study it so that we will be
| thoroughly equipped to do Gods work
We cannot understand our own day
and country's history without knowl
edge of the Bible. We cannot under
stand literature without knowing the
| 'Old Book that guides our pathway
| points out how, where and why we
| should serve God, and when the eve
ming of life comes supports us by its
promises and teachings concerning the
coming life. Fiery Christian should
| form the habit OF prayerfully studying
| the Bible daily in order to learn Gods
will and be Inspired by studying the
| Scriptures to obey the teachings of
the Bible at all times and in every
| way possible.

ly, q life that is active in good works.
This truth was stated again and again
and even more deeply by our Savior
when he said:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind. This Is
the first and great commandment
And the second is like unto it, Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. -
Matthew, xxii.37-39)
Religion, then, is the submission OF
the soul to God in worshiped devotion
| and for service. 1t looks upon the
present world order and apprehends
the eternal. 1t walks the heights with
God, breathing the rare air and feast
ing its eyes upon wider landscapes
and then 1t descends, like Jesus from
the Mount Of TRANSPORTATION, into the
field of human need, to seek and to
save that which is lost and to lift the
whole world back to God.
Religion is not only therefore the
most sacred, but it is the most prac
tical and the most valuable interest
of man. The greatest political phi
losophers of the ages have admitted
that religion is the only sure founda
ton of morality and that morality is
the only abiding foundation of States.
Therefore, the President of the Repub-
lie himself a little while ago sent out
q call for a revival of real religion in
America, and such men as Richard
Edmonds. editor of the Manufacturers
Record, and Roger W. Babson, the
worlds famous business leader, have
been telling us recently that only a
revival of real religion can save
America from the present dangers
that menace our splendid life. | do
not know that ] could do better than
close this message with the following
striking words from Mr.. Babson:
THE need of the hour is not more
factories or materials, not more rail
roads or steamships, not more armies
or more navies, but rather more edu-
cation based on the teaching of Jesus.
The prosperity Of our country depends
on the motives and purposes of the
people. These motives and purposes
are directed only in the right course
| through religion. In spite of their
| imperfections, this is why 1 believe in
our churches and why / am a great
optimist on their future"
