Th cost of work would depend a great

VALUABLE PAPER
Rev. J; H. Cudllpp Reads En
tertaining Essay on "Trend
of Present Day Religion."
"Th Trend of Present Day Religious
Thought and Life" was th sub)ect of a
paper read by Rev. J. H. Cudllpp of
Grace Metbodlat church, before th reg
ular weekly meeting f th Methodist
mlnlatara yesterday. Dr. Cudllpp'
paper .was pronounced by many of
th minister preaant aa one of
the moat scholarly productions that
had bean read before that asso
ciation In many a day. Ho con
fesses at the outset that it would ba
lmpoaalbls for many men to point out
the trend of reilglona and Ufa In a way
that would bo measurably aatlafactory
to aa audience of Intelligent and critical
preachers, "That on the aurfaoe, It ap
pear a to ba erratic and fickle, no student
of the times wlU attempt to deny," said
tha apeaker. "Just how deep and mean
ingful thla rastleaaneas is. no one Is
able to tell,' only aa h may be able to
Judge by the past.
"If you ware to stand at the view
point of th Roman Cathollo church, he
would assure you that th outlook for
his church Is most auspicious; he would
show you that America, with her multl-1
plying millions, l fast becoming Catho
llo. Than again. If you wer to study
this question from th viewpoint of th
Proteetant Episcopal Un, you ar equal
ly oonvlnoed that there ar unmistak
able signs that vrywber th trend of
religious thought Is la th direction of
(he Protestant Episcopal church. But
agaia. If you were .to atudy this ques
tion from tha viewpoint of th Pan
theist, yon would b compelled t admit
that there ar signs of a, vigorous ten
denoy to hls-ward.
"00, X say. It Is not so easy to teO
what Is th trend ef rllgious thought
and life. And yet, w. ar ready to
grant that tharo ar som signs, soma
Indications, som prophecies of a oom
Ing condition, which we aver. It Is high
time to arreat and carefully atudy. Tha
question haa both a poattlva and a
negative 'aide. Negatively, It beckon
us to- consider first of all th value
of church leadership.
"Th church must get away from
th lda of adjusting and re-adjusting
Itself to meet changing condition, in
deed. It is th buslneaa of tha church
to change conditions. It most so man
Its leadarahlp that tha world will be
compelled to fall into ita program.
Chrlat did not talk about adjusting him
self t his environments he spoke, and
th world waa oompelled to bear hie
vole.
"Say what you will, thr la a ten
dency in these erratic daya to belittle
the priesthood of th church and thua
to cripple the leadership which it owea
to tha world. There la a tendency In
th rellgloua thought and Ufa of this
day to a mora practical, a aaner con
ception of what it means to ba a Chris
tian. Of course, there is wrong in th
world, but ther newer was a time when
wrong had such a bard tlm to get on,
and this will do mora and more the
fact as th dsy grows to th noontide."
