THE ORY BONES WILL RAT- TLE or | mias my guess. 1 hope they will. 1 look for startling re sults to follow the institutes and Mass meetings. Too many of us are too cowardly to face facts of Hle as they are, anyway. NO MAN CAN HANDLE the ‘oblems such as confront human ings in our modern cities frankly and with a scientific love of truth without having his conscience stung into action and his smug Mdeals shot to pieces. nD THE PREACHERS NEED to come out in the open more, and moving among men, living with them, thinking alongside of them, fighting their battles for them, sympathizing with their viewpoints , Ta wrong as these may be, mal THE RELIGION OF GOD as re- in Jusus Christ real to them churches, too, must wake up.

The Christian religion is for you. The church is your best friend, and made up of people like yourself. The very fact that the churches made this CAMPAIGN POSSIBLE in proof ‘that the Christian people are trying to meet the issue of their personal religion in a proper social way. They will take their medicine, too. See that you take yours. I hope that all the old fogy church mem- bers will be driven out of their holes. They ought to be: THE VITAL RELIGIOUS activ. ity needed today isn't going to give anyone an easy time any more. I hope that every blunt truth will hit every one who ought to be hit straight between the eyes. Let the ots of our life speak for them- selves. THERE ISN'T ANY SUCH thing ae sacred and secular. The world is an organism. Lvery life is re lated to other lives in most won erful ways. All life ts reiigious or irreligious. This is the only dl- nm. Loud talk and BRAGGART DEFINITIONS about being above religion and out- growing the church ideals is all bosh. If you are not yet harnessed up to the religious activities, then this campaign will be your school I could say more, but don't forget this—you are at heart now religious or trreligious, and this M: and KR. movement will tell you why and how.
