MEN AND RELIGION

In the Young Men's Christian Association Hall to-morrow night th» Rev, J. C. Jamieson, of Sydney, will give an address on the "Men and Religion Forward Movement." Tea will be provided at 6 o'clock, for which a small charge will be made, after which Mr. Jamieson will speak. All men interested are invited to attend. In an article in the May number of The Review of Review's, Mf . Fred Smith explains that "the primary objective of th© Men a^d Religion Forward Movement is to give increased accent to a mail's place in the exietence and preservation of Christianity. There is a need for a real emphasis of the masculino in religious work. Owing to many unutterances, and to some superficial thinking, the Church has many times come to be regarded by strong men as a place only for the weaker sort or for the discouraged and defeated. That is not so. In the second place, the movement is- undertaking to co-operate with other agencies in a. large interpretation of Christianity's function in the i world, and is seeking to apply" Christianity to those vital everyday issues of life with which men come in contact on the ma-rket, in the street, and in the home." s' i — !
