RELIGION TODAY
 FACING A CRISIS
tContinued from First Pagc)

purycyor of health Or wealth or hap pircss. IL was u utiitarian project religion f,nc,ioned in the remote past. And II is because religion still very largely retains that character to this very day that it no longer plays the role in human endcay or that rightly belongs to it.
 "Thc utiltarian function of roli- glon-if rctained---is bound to prove the undoing of religion. For, utili- mately. man will not onl yacquire greater control over the forces Of nature but he will rcalize-as hc has already done so in so many cases how inconsistent is the scientific con- trol of nature with the resort to magic and superstition. It is because men still believe-because they have not been taught otherwise--that re- igion is useful only for it's utilitar- ian powcrs that they are abandoning it. And, they will continue 10 do so in increasing numbers with the en- Iargement of mans sphere of con- 1rol over his environment. Many believing themselves sufficiently in tellectual or wishing to be so con. sidered act out that conclusion.
 "The great task Of the church to- day is to teach religion not as a way for the attainment Of health or wealth or happiness but rather how to use these gifts righteously. This by the way is tho great contribution .,t Ind iCp fn he mankind. Tho business of religion is not to help us secure the things we need for our well-bcing. but 10 get us to use these things rightoously. And it is far more difficult to learn to know how 10 utilize than how 10 retain health or wealth. far greater amount of effort and wisdom Is involved in the righteous use Of power and influence than in winning of them. The sage who said it is more difficult to conquer the spirit than to conquer fortified city knew whereof he spoke. Alexander con- quers a whole world except Alex ander.
 Tt is toward this sclf conquest,
  but of ones self that religion must direct it's efforts. When the prophets denounced the utilization use of re- ligion they exalted it into a means of social responsibility. Snch is the re- ligion that is needed today. Such a religion will ultimately reyitalizc our religious lives.
 Let it not be thought, however, that such an ethical religion leaves out of consideration the physical world about us. It is not asceticism that I preach. If religion does not supply us with the material things for our wei being then we are to obtain these through our direct ef- forts, but it was never meant that We do without them. Spirituality does not mean dispensing with the things Of the world rather does it mean the purification Of the world. Upright ness and saintliness are not synony- nous with escape from the world of earthly needs and daily contacts. The hcrs1nit is not the ideal religious man.
 Our task is, therefore, not 10 sup press nature or 10 negate its exist ence. Because the air is foul it is our job as religious men to purify it. Not to flee nature but to utilize j, to the full in accordance with the will of God is the only religion that to my mind is valid for us.''
