THE DOMINANT FACTOR.
RELIGION WILL LEAD AMERICA IN NEXT TEN YEARS.
The opinion that religion will become the dominant factor in American life within the next decade was expressed by Dr R. J- Colbert, of the University of Wisconsin. Dr Colbert spoke at a meeting of the Episcopal Women’s auxiliary in Chicago* recently. , “Materialism has almost reached its peak,” he declared. “Organised groups dominate our social life. We are threatened with disintegration through group conflicts*I—in 1 —in business, politics and all phases of soeial and economical classes. “This conflict is our greatest hope and our greatest fear. If discussion resulting in betterment is the main abject of conflict it is our greatest hope but if it keeps groups farther apart it is our greatest fear.”
