~LOSS OF FAITH-

The Congregational Church, ear
ly founders OF Americas higher
education now assembled in con-
vention, are beginning to take stock
and to discern how far spiritually
the shifting winds OF religious
preachments have driven them
from their true course A survey
made and recently reported indi-
Gates that many students enter
college full OF Christian faith and
come out doubters at the end OF
four years"
There are many reasons why
this might be true in country OF
such traditions as America. Pro-
badly the most accepted defini-
ton of religion would be an In
ward belief supported by fath and
sustained by child-like simplicity
in the hope OF reward hHtpftcr
for the good that we do while We
live.
However. there are many rea'
sons that might be alleged which
would answer the question sought
by the church of today. While
these may vary in degree yet the,
are one and all applicable In prin
eiple. The college man realizes
from contact, study and obseWR
ton that Christianity as obse8et
by those with whom he has beer
trained and taught is some sort o
preferred spiritual preachmen
that is not to be strictly applied Il
all people alike but to be inter
preted to suit tho peculiar socis
and economic status under which
those to whom the OhristianizinI
is to be applied live.
In other words the pnesent-da'
