But needs change, and illusions fade away and are replaced by knowledge. That religion reflects these factors of which it is a function cannot be doubted. Some thinkers, who have sincerely pondered the problem, declare that religion will only be transformed. Others, as earnest, assert that it will disappear, and speak of the non-religion of the future.
In a great war, with no one occupying positions, we should be lost immediately. Marshal Saxe knew us well when he said that the French were best for a war of position. He recognized the lack of stability in the ranks. On getting within rifle range the rank formation tends to disappear.
The red blood of redemption flows from the country year by year into the national arteries, else these cities would drop off the map. If it were not for Poseyville, Indiana, Chicago would disappear. If it were not for Poseyville, New York would disintegrate for lack of leaders. "Hep" and "Pep" for the Home Town But so many of the home towns of America are sick. Many are dying. Many are dead.

Is it possible that a girl can disappear in broad daylight in the streets and never be heard of again? Oh, won't you find her?
The referendum is of precisely the same nature, but this already has become a reductio ad absurdum, and can hardly survive the discredit into which it has fallen. In any reorganization of government looking towards better results, these elements must disappear.
