points of view eachnide side has made the best possible moves undertlit the prefent circumstances The Pope haaCertainly ertainlY consorted the best IntcreHtn of theChurch Church in forcing the struggle The reasonnuy nuy be found for this In the fact that forIfteen Ifteen years during which the writer haabeen been a close student of French public sentiment ment a great and significant change haabeen been the steady drifting away of the popul 1A0 from religious convictionsThla this of course baa been moat marked inh the urban populations It ia not that thoFrench French people are developing antagonismto to religion The change Is far more dangerous gerous than that Franca Is becoming notirreligious irreligious but unrellgioua The Churchsinly inly hope in combating this tendency
