Address Is Given at Plymouth Congregational Church Sunday
"What Is Religion?" asked Dr. Raymond A. Schwegler, dean of the School of Education in his sermon Sunday morning at the Plymouth Congregational church, where he preached in the absence of the pastor, the Rev. Mr. A.D. Grev.
Doctor Schwegler said that a religion is not a cult, a belief, nor a theology, but a phase of life just as certainly as hunger, breathing, loving, and hating is a part of a normal man's existence. Religion is found everywhere that human nature is found and we will continue to find religion everywhere as long as human nature remains as it is.
Doctor Schwegler speaks at Plymouth Congregational church at least once during each summer session of the University.
