A NEW SPIRITUAL WORLD
Pastor" Wagner, the author of "The Simple Life," is president of the International Congress on Religious Progress, which has been sitting ia Paris. He says that "a new spiritual world is being born." "One of the other speakers is," says The Times, "M. Emile Boutroux, of the Academic Francaise ; whose recent book on 'Science and Religion' has been widely appreciated in the world of theology and of philosophic speculation. The thesis of M. Boutroux is that it is the work of philosophy to reconcile religion and science, and he has declared 'the future does not, as Victor Hugo maintained, "kill" the past. " 'It is the business of philosophy to distinguish between those elements of past opinions and civilisations which are pei'ishable and those which are capable of fertilising and strengthening the evolution of the future.'
