At the College Conference meeting last evening in Sever 11, Prof. Wm. J. Tucker, D. D., of Andover, opened the question. "The Recovery of Religious Enthusiasm." The past thirty or forty years, he said, have witnessed a relapse in religious enthusiasm. Recovery will come from the impact of strong minds on men outside, and of this recovery there are signs. Men, in the past, lost their enthusiasm naturally, for there was a need of material stock in which Christianity could take root. The peculiar enthusiasm of his own generation, the speaker said, was rather political or purely intellectual than religions. Of this, war and the doctrine of evolution were the great causes. But with the coming generation there is to be a change. The problems which will confront them will be human problems, and because intensely human therefore divine. Christianity is now developing, instead of the martyr or the reformer, the man who will use the world for his own large, true, Christian ends. The forces at present at work on young life are a craving for serious results in thought and a desire to make the most of one's self. With the last generation it was method; with the coming it will be motive. Christianity is God working in every conceivable direction.
