Demonstrate that there is no God and then for him there is littie meaning to life. We are told that during the French Revolu- tion . . . God was by legislation, dethroned and reason substituted. This lasted for three days, during which excesses committed were so great that the law was rescind- ed. Danton, Marat and Robs- pierre could not f ight something that is inborn. The Church, speaking in very general terms, is humanity's open forum in which the varying, changing congregations give open expression to their idea of what is best. Its standards vary as the views of those who control flue- conditions. But good, bad or in- different. it is the mouthpiece of the people and for that reason it will ever be with us. . . Mrs. R.
