HISTORY OF RELIGION GIVEN BY HOLLANDS
Speaker at Woman's Forum Tells of Origin and Development of Religion
"No one can tell just what the motive for the first religion was," said Professor Hollands of the department of philosophy, in his talk on the "Theories of Religion" at the Woman's Forum Thursday afternoon. During the eighteenth century the Christian church that all occupied the situations and language were made by "someone." Religion was on one hand, revelations from God, or on the other hand, superstitions. The Deists believed that religion was an institution of reason by God, and that one was intuitively sure that there existed an all-powerful, all-wise God, that certain things were morally wrong and that certain punishment would follow wrong doing.
Professor Hollands said that the first main source of religion was fear and that later with organization a sovereign God appeared. With the first treatment of religion from a historical and comparative point of view, the death blow was dealt to the theory of the Deists. More recently emphasis has been placed in connection with religion, and on the fact that religion seems to be the successive stances of the education of the human race.
At present the theories best accepted are those of the psychologists. Religion in these theories is taken from the application of individual and social psychology. The psychologists are able to answer the question of "why various beings are considered $n_0$ be sacred."
Professor Hollands gave some of the criticisms that he considered were due to the theory of the psychologists. He said that they have not proved able to do justice to nature worship, to do justice to individu! religion to give recognition to religious founders.
In closing, Professor Hollanda gave his definition for religion. He said that religion consists for the individual or social group in which it exists and faith in purposeful principle which is regarded as the domestic principle in all the is real.

University Students Do Not Don Rubbers
This was a damp, rainy day on the Hill where brisk showers alternated with driving mist and even level walks were wet, but by estimates of authorities there were six pairs of rubbers on the Hill while the other three thousand seven or eight hundred went wet shed. How far are we come from the customs of our forefathers!
The only reason we can see is just that it isn't being done. It is too much trouble to put rubbish on and leave them in dry weather, keep track of them in dry weather.
This is a condition that has been increasingly noticeable year by year. Never too popular, the rubber has lately lost ground at an astonishing rapid rate. This leads us to speculate upon the reason. The rubber is not exactly unisightly. It is usually snug and neat. The rubber is attained such proximity in all northward schools is clumy and far from beautiful, and even more so when left unbuckled as is the prevailing style.
No can the cost be given as the reason. Men's rubbers are quoted by a local shop shop at $1.35, and ladies rubbers at $1.00 and toe rubbers at $1.20. The prices of movies and eclare this does not seem prohibitive.
But give a thought to the reckoning. Wet feet produce colds, pneumonia, rheumatism, and any number of associated illies. Such conditions lower the vitality of the student and prevent him from doing his best work.

PROHIBITION BIG ISSUE IN IRISH ELECTIONS
Sinn Feiners and Irish National ist to Coalesce on Liquor
Issue
Dublin, (By Mall).—Prohibition is the issue which is forcing Sinn Feiners and Irish Nationalists in the North of Ireland to get together on common ground and ultimately eliminate them to sit in the Ulster Parliament.
While the south of Ireland, solidly Sinn Fein, has repeatedly rejected Lloyd George's dual parliament scheme, the Irish Nationalists and Sinn Feiners in the Six Counties have been unable to decide upon whether, however, the leaders of these two wings of the Irish Catholics in Ulster have gotten together and decided to participate in the elections, to be held in May. Both factions have agreed to advance an equal number of candidates, who have to mutualize their votes, in the preponderatingly Sinn Fein district is to get the combined vote of the Nationalist, while the Nationalist candidate in another district is to get the vote of both the Nationalists and Sinn Fein. In this way, the Catholicism of the nationalists of their strength in "Carsonia," as Ulster is dubbed by the rest of Ireland, to impress the Orangemen as well as the government in London. Up until the present, however, both Nationalists and Sinn Feiners, if elected, have pledged themselves not to take their
Prohibition is the one question that will drive the Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants in Ulster to combine. If the Sinin Fail and most member groups take a lead, they are the Belfast Parliament, it is conceded that the Drys, who have made great headway in the North of Ireland, will have a clear majority. The "Pusseyfootees" were already announced that they will prowl into the prohibition issue.
According to statistics, more than ninety per cent of the license holders in Ulster are Catholics and either Nathan those engaged in the retail trade. Their representation in the Belfast Parliament would be negligible.
dialists or Sim Feiners. Passage of a prohibition law would ruin their business. On the other hand, the percentage of Catholic and Protestant brewer and distiller is about even. In numbers, however, they are far less.
If the "Appointed Day" arrives, and elections are carried out and the set ting up of the Cason parliament follows, the Simn Feiners-National minority will be faced with two things. Either they will have to participate, thereby helping make the dual parliamentary a source of abstinence—separating the chances of the scheme, and at the same time making the introduction of prohibition in the Six Counties virtually a certainty.
