THE ABOLITION
OF THE S.V.C.
Unnecessary Officers. At High Salaries
Shanghai, Aug. 15.
The abalition of the Russian Regiment of the Shanghai Volun teer: Corps, and drastic reductions in the expenses of other branches are being urged among members of the Japanese community of shanghai, the Shanghai "Mainichi Shimbun stated yesterday. Some. of the more radical elements are asking for the complete abolition of the Corps, which they hold to be unnecessary so long as foreign troops are maintained here for the protection of the International Settlement. -
In spite of a reduction of $46.190 if this year's budget, the various unpaid units still spend $388,490. while the Russian Regiment's ap- propriation has grown by $4.280

MYSTERY RELIGIONS Just as Buddhism brought a new and deeper appreciation of religion to the Far East, so in the west a new spectacle arises. with the coming of the Mystery Religions Men were growing up, and begin- ning to feel the growing-pains of a deep inward dissatisfaction. man knew himself to be more than a son, a tribesman, a citizen: He was a man with his own life to live, his own sing to be for- given, his own sorrows to endure. The and his own desth to die. And then I wonder if we are religions which provided for family neglecting our duty in taking, welfare, tribal victory, the pros religion for granted anybody'sperity of the state, no longer mel religion or our own.
CONSCIOUS HYPOCRITE Let us confine our attention to AUT DWIL We shall find it quite enough to thing about. I am not accusing any one of being a con- scious hypocrite. In
English society there are no longer either kicks or ha pence to be gained by being "religious: there is only Indifference on the part of one's neighbours. So both martyrs and hypocrites are jew a.Tid far between. What I do say is that religion for most of us is a second- hand affair, and I protest that the second-hand is not good enough:
If you were asked, "Why are you a Presbyterian? or an Anglican? | or a Methodist?" what would you say? I should answer without hesitation, "Because I was born and brought up that way." But if you asked me "Why are you á Christian?" I should have more

This was provided by new re- Ligious soc'etics, called the Mysteries, which grew up Arst in Greece, and afterwards throughout the Roman Empire. Some of the societies had travelling preachers who had open-ar meetings and distributed tracts, very like the early Methodists or the Salvation Army. They told of gods who cared for man as man, would help him live his idividual life in triumph, and save his soul eternally. One great difference was that in these religion 'a man was not born sb." He decided for himself, as one by one they pasted through the ceremony of initiation they were re-born into the society.
