"Religion; What Is It?" Hs con tended that religion, in the true sense, has to do with one's thoughts, feelings and conduct; but that it la manifested more by thought, and conduct than by so-called. feeling.'OetUn -religion." the doctor said, wss an unsctiptural term, and people who "get religion" are those, who st around and wait fur some sort of queer feeling to possess them as an indication that Ood has- poured his religion Into them, without any ex ertion on their part ........ "Instead of pouring religion into peo nle as one might pour water -Into a V IUVUV V w ....... . , " " " must consider this evidence. He must use bis understanding and judgment and gain. h' belief from this. Hs must have his conscience corrected and his affections purified by this evidence, snd hs must be drawn toward Ood In this manner. "Many who talk about a change of heart do not know what the heart Is. They think that some sort of queer feeling takes possession of them and that Is an evidence of a change of heart. Mere feelings are not. evidence of sal vation. They are never an evidence of pardon-or aooeptanoe by Ood." 7- IMPEACH MAY0R-F0R NOT CLOSING SALOONS ' (Joaraiil gpeieal Service.)
