Many practice which ten yenrs ago,
the year ngo, ouo year ago, and even
ilx months ago were In favor, public
opinion having no condemnation for
them, nro now held to bo odious and
even criminal. Till Is pcrhnps tho
most notnblo development of tho day,
namely, tho creation of n higher stand
ard for tho conduct of American busi
ness. The revelations of graft lu tho
lusuranco nud railroad companies nro
a shock to national pride nud yet there
Is hardly an American who does not
know that In ouo form or another graft
has entered largely Into the corornto
life as Into tho political life of tho
country. Tho saving clause of the sit
uation Is that It scorns n passing phase
In our national progress. The optimist
bus reason to rejoice that the national
conscience has been touched and that
nubile opinion I establishing higher
ideals.
It Is a grand thing for tho country

known among our recreations. How
different everything Is now I took about
you nt tho young men nud women of
tho hour, devoted to golf, tenuis, base
ball, boating, field, track and water
ports of all kluds, riding, limiting and
what not, and sco tho glow of health
tlint la in tliolr cheeks. Does It not
foretell tho story of tho country's great
cr futuro? Can anything go wrong
with n peoplo so physically well Inllt
that moral clearness of vision, high tun
bltlons and ability to strlvo and win
must neccHsnrlly go with it?
A minister in nn Ohio town recently
mndo a cnuvass by mail to nscertuln
why so largo a proportion of the men
of his community absented thcmselvcM
trout church. Ho received tho usual
explanations. Tho absentees stuyed
nwny, they suld, becuuso they wero
tired on Sunday and wanted recreation,
becuuso tho sermons wero dull, because
church members tronted them coldly
when they went, and becnuso many
church members wero hypocrites. If
more frequency of repetition wero de
cisive these explanations of church nb
tontcolsm would havo to bo accepted
us tho truo ones, for they havo been
offered lnnumerablo times. Tho ques
tion naturally arises, however, why, if
desire for recreation, dull sermons, and
hypocrites are what keep men away,
they do not also keep women away?
The studies by Havelock, Ellis, Btar
buck, Prof. Coo, and others of the psy
chology of religion suggest that the
chief cause of the "eternal feminine" in
the churches may be found in the fun
damental differences of nature of the
exes. The feminine nature tends to
be passive and susceptible, the mascu
line to be active and insusceptible. The
different qualities are met with in vary
ing degrees In different men and wom
en, but this description of the two sex
ual temperament Is generally recog
nized as roughly correct This may ex
plain why tho churches hare attracted
women more strongly than men. Tho
Sunday services obvl6usly mako their
npponl chiefly to the passive, suscepti
ble side of tho naturo. This Is always
tnio of tho music. It gorerally has
been no less truo of tho sermon. Tho
vutues which havo been most constant
ly Inculcated from tho pulpit an es
sential to tho splrltunl llfo havo been
thoso of meekness, forgiveness, fVth,
prnyorfulncss, etc. Tho moro aggressive
moral and civic virtues seldom havo
been treated as constituents of "spirit
ual'ty." It Is a remarknble fact that
until recently, oven when church so
cletlos wero formed for charitable and
other purposes requiring active effort,
they usually were composed exclusively
of women. Thero Is marked tendency
among American churches at tho pres
ent time to lay moro streis on the ac
tive virtues and afford more opportun
ity for their exercise. .Ministers are
preaching moro than they over did be
fore on people's duty not only to Ino
leaceably, honestly, and decoutly them
Mitres but to do something to Improve
political and social conditions. "Men's
unions" havo been formed in mnuy
chtirrhcs, and tho number which not
only malntntns missions but auppoits
social settlements is growing. .Many
nro extending and making more prac
tical their charitable work, and some
nro oven talking of building model ten
cutouts. It will bo Interesting to oh
servo whnt effect, If nny, these chnnges
In sermons and extensions of religious
activity havo upon tho male attendance
nud membership. On tho theory of tho
psychologists they, In tho long run,
should strongly stlmulnto men's Inter
est In the churches' work, and Judging
by what has taken place In some "In
stitutional" churches they are adapted
to produco this result.
