To these survivals of paganism, the church, of course, added new customs of her own as, for instance, the placing of a lighted candle in the window on Christmas eve to guide the Christ child. Christmas carols and legends of the Christ child soon began to gather about the day to give it religious significance. But even today there is more folklore and ancient custom in our observance of Christmas than there is of Christian significance. The giving and receiving of gifts bulks larger than religion with most people. Not a few even of our Sunday school entertainments feature Santa Claus more than they do the Christ. This condition cf affairs is a challenge to the church. The Christmas customs that we cannot thoroughly Christianize must be replaced by new customs that will emphasize the moaning of the day. The elements that can be infused with the Christ spirit, must he, if tlroy are to be preserved. Great Duty of Science Is to Give Vision to Man Beyond HisOrdinary Abilities By DEAN ROBERT R.

The vast majority of people find that our present conventional religion put3 a strain on their imagination that almost breaks it down. We must think about religion in a natural, living way. To the average man religion tends to become unreal and to deal with things out of his reach. But that is just where science comes in it gives a vision to man beyond his ordinary abilities. We think that the things we can feel and handle are more real than the things of the spirit. But now we have learned that these material things are just made up of electrical energy, ainwe can think as readily qf spiritual energy now, so that spiritual forces become just as true to reality as objects and things.
