RELIGIOUS REBIRTH
0 PEOPLE IN SERIOUS MOOD. . Discussing the future of religion in “John o’ London's Weekly,” Mr Ashley Sampson writes: People are in a serious mood today; and I do not believe that this time it will all evaporate as soon as the war is over. It has come too close to us for that. The iron has entered into our soul; and I think that it will take more than another Armistice Day to extract it. For this reason, then, I believe that we shall not be satisfied with things as they are when the war is over —still less with them as they were. We shall surely realise that liberal humanism by itself is bankrupt, and that an age of science without faith in God has given us a world fit for something less than Man; and, in this moment of illumination will lie the future of the world—whether it is to go back upon that vision into a peace that produces another and more desperate war, or whether in the light of that vision it rededicates itself to the true service of true religion.
