THE RELIGION OF THE FUTURE
BY ItR. W. P. WHITE
1 Cor. 3.10-15 "Other foundation can no man lay than that which ia laid."
We are aasured in many quarters
that after the war. when the boys
, , , . . . .
come back. th. Church will have to
a.lopt a new n-ligion. It is therefore
quite timely that we consiJer the com-
in religion, calmly enquiring what it (
must be, and what will be our attl
tude toward the same.
In investitatin the movements mod-
em and ancient, some ot us are sun i
convinced that Paul, here in thia let-;
ter to the Church at .Corinth, has
carefully delineated the coming reliR-!
ion, described its foundation, defined
its frame, depicted its purpose.
Foundation of the ComlnR Rclipjon

President
U.
S. DECLINES
TO TALK PEACE
WITH HUN NOW
People of Austria Shall Be
Judge of Own Form of
Government; No
Autonomy
WASHINGTON. Oct.
P. President Wilson today an
swered Austria-Hungary's peace
plea with the reply that conditions
have so changed since January 8
that we cannot now accept their
autonomy plan aa a peace basts.
Instead, the President insisted
that the dual empire's oppressed
peoples "shall be the Judges of
what action on the part of the
Austro- Hungarian Government
will satisfy their aspirations. ,
In substance, the note of Pres
ident Wilson was a refusal to do
any peace business with Austria
Hungary. He ahowa that the act
or the United Statea and the allies
in recognizing the Czechoslovaks
as co-allies-arainst Austria, haa
so changed conditions that the
"President no longer is at liberty
to accept mere autonomy of these
peoples, as a peace basis."
