Is religion only a human instinct
universal indeed hut upon which 110
sanction or encouragement has been
vouchsafed from on high? Are men
left to thfniselves to pray the prayer
of prayers humanity's moat prayer
in all the nes that God would 110-
knowledee the effort? MiiC-we gropo
011 fooling after God If haply we
might find him. hut only feelinj on
century after century in the dim twi-
light of reason And If no voicb
breaks the silence of the spheres can
wc not Justly conclude that the deity
i.i no Miprenie "being" but Blmply an
almighty intelligence or force ann
has no heart? If the Father in
heaven la aa we have believed him
really a moral person may vto not
then expect that he will not diiaflp-
polnt us?
We are not disappointed. He has
rent the heavens and come down
bidding the skies pour forth right-
eousness. In the world's life there Is a per-
sonage of whose place no educated
man denies the renllty or the great-
ness. The fact and much of the his-
tory of his life on earth beloiiir to
secular human knowledge). lOvery
scholarly agnostic (I think) anmits
that In point of social and historical
Importance in tho annals of man-
kind this person'3 birth and doin-rs
stand alone. So deep and Inefface-
able the lmpresnlon wrought by his
work and his Mrth so high and Mold-
ing tho appreciation of his character
thttt tho question of ojucatlons from
high men and from low is "What
think yc of Christ?"
Whatever the faith of disputing
siholnrs whatever the religious con-
troversy tho standing of Jesus does
i.ot enter Into the argument. Relig-
ion some may hold Is merely an Ab-
stract gaod; It Is only a superstition;
churches and clerics misrepresent It.
and the Hlhle contains errors both of
ftict and morals. Interest In religion
they say. Is nt bottom a class Instinct
rrofessed by those tn power and fos-
tered among the masses because of
Its virtue to ward off resolution and
maintain the established order. Tne
visible church every embodiment of
religion. Hnd all that assorts ltf pres-
ence and power In the world some
to lay may sincerely oppose. Tttit ne
whom Scripture calls "the Mediator"
none opposes.
It Is his birthday. Of Onl's answer to
man's longing today is kept as an-
niversary. The bond in person be-tw-en
God and us. the living brdrrv
between enrth and heaven took his
place twe reckon) 1921 years ago.

A poppy flower from a field
Once torn by shot and ahoU
Was plucked from where the blood
congested
Said "Here a soldier fell;
Died fighting for Fair France
And tho the Lethe flower came
Hy I'nseen Power or by chance
'Twill serve to list a name.
AnionK the ones that fate has marked.
For heroes of the earth
A bruve and tender heart that harked
The? little blossom's worth
That heard the Bolemn message given
"Forgetf ulness spells wrong;
Iai. here the solid ground waa given
To sound a freedom song.
No redder flower ever bloomed
Than those that blossom here
Pyed with the hearta' blood of men
doomed
Who met death without fear.
We vow we'll fight until the light
of freedom once more glows
And reduced from war's bloody
blight.
The white peace-poppy shows.

Let me see I left off In the last
rtory just when Dr. Heron pulled 'the
cork out of Tlmmv Chipmunk's
throat. Then the doctor bird said: "I
usually charge ten little fishes for an
operation like this but seeing it's you
Timothy Chipmunk and I didn't have
to come to your h juae. I'll chargo you
only five."
When Billy Bunny heard this he
winked his tall ancr wagged his nose
nt Tlmmy Chipmunk and the fiist
thing you know away they went leaving-
the doctor with his bill unpaid
which wasn't a nice thing to do.
And as Blliy went one way and
Tommy the other by and by tney
were so far apart they couldn't see
each other. And then something
happened to the little rabbit. A man
wagon almost ran over him. You see.
Hilly Hunny was so excited thai ne
didn't hear it coming at all.
"I wonder If here's a letter for
me?" And then all of a sudden he
hopped after the wagon and j urn pod
up on the lfttle tei at the back. And
there right in front of him was a
package marked:
