GOT NEW IDEA OF RELIGION Colonel Roosevelt Admitted He Had Taken to Heart the Simple Faith of the Doughboy. Oolopel Roosevelt was a deeply religious man. and one evening at Oyster Bay he said to an'editor: "How this world war has clarified our ideas! It has clarified my own Ideas about religion. "Before the war I was inclined to agree with the philosopher who said: "'Religion Is the experience constituted by those thoughts, feelings and actions which spring from man's sense of dependence upon power or powers controlling the universe, and whicii have as their center of interest the cosmic fortune of values.' "But how different Is the definition ol" religion that the doughboy has flung us from the trenches, and how heartily is our agreement when he says: "'Religion is betting yoar lifeoa the existence of God.'
