General debate has closed and after a short discussion minute rule a vote will be taken upon the only contested point, which is whether the portion of the message re- lating to insurance shall be referred to the Ways and Means Committee or the Committee on Interstate and For eign Commerce.

The Philip- pine bill is already reported, and being a privileged measure, can be called up at any time.

DECLARES RELIGIOUS i Dr. Gladden of Congregation- | al Church Says New Idea | Is Gaining. COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 3l. —Rev. Dr. | Washington Gladden, moderator of the Congregational Church of the United | States, In a sermon delivered from his pulpit to-day declared that the world is in the midst of a great revival of religion tha thas come about so gradually that | few have réalized it. Dr. Gladden said in part: | ‘““There has been during the past year a | marked change in the mental and moral | attitude of a great many persons: hun- dreds of thousands of people, old and young, are thinking differently about life | to-day from what they were thinking a | year ago ‘to-day; they have a different idea of what is worth while. This thing | 1s In the air. The newspapers reflect pub- lic sentiment; nearly every one you take up has a paragraph of an editorial which puts the emphasis on the real things, the valus, of character. - “YWhat shall we say about the influence which has so changed the mental and moral attitude of great multitudes of peo- ple? What has been taking place? I think that we are in the midst of a great revival of religlon—the greatest, perhaps, this country has ever experlenced. It has not taken on the usual form, it has not been carried on in the old way, but it has swept over an immense territory never- theless. The religion which is thus com- ing to Its own in this revival is not one that puts the emphasis on clearing off old cares and getting ready for heaven, but one that puts the emphasis on making this life a better life and this world a better world.” g ————— .
