GLOOMY RELIGIONS.
DESTRUCTIVE OF LIBERTY. Sydney, September 6. “Our world to-day is full of gloomy religions. They are erecting a barrier between men and God,” declared Father Lockington, head of Riverview College, Sydney, when speaking at a great gathering in the City Town Hall, at the Eucharistic Congress festival. He added: “As a result of these gloomy (religions, millions of ordinary people are wandering in doubt or in (the valley of despair, going down in a morass of materialism. Most people look upon religion as a depi essing thing and a perverter of human life, and upon ministers as killjoys. 'This conception of religion is very prevalent and from the point of view of the man in the street it is quite right. The position therefore must be faced. Men died in millions some time ago in the cause of liberty, yet you have less of it to-day than ever.”
