There are those who would have u lelieve that the hujnan race is mak ing rapid strides towards a perfec civilization. Everything is right. 01 rapidly approaching that happy stab Others would have us believe tha everything is wrong and everybod headed for sudden and swift destruc tion. It is true that the world has mad \ery great strides in invention. Mc chanical devices have multiplied. I the making of these things greute physical comfort has been brought t mankind. The burden has been lifte from the backs of many. But th question arises, have the slaves lib erated from drudgery, been reall benefited. Machinery having liberate their bodies are they simply tume loose to graze, left stranded In th track of a marching civilization, let to starve by the wayside? If so, thei liberation is a mistake. The sewin machine has given us better mad garments. The loom furnishes u better cloth from which to make then The application of steam to transpoi tation has brought us a greater vs riety of foods and has helped in nm terial things. We have triumphe over many physical barriers. But th triumph is discredited by the recen world war that destroyed the greate part of the world's accumulated valu and swallowed ten millions of huma bodies into its insatiable maw, mor than one of each hundred human be ings on the earth. The property los and the loss in human life cause u to jpause and leflect. A civilizatlo that destroys itself is not going for ward. It is in the way to death. I nmn ia tn turn all fVio w^nlfVi invon tion and skill of the advancemen made into engines of torture and do struction, the whole thing is a failure Some people tell us that the war prin c'.ples, creates now ideals and sets u new standards. This we doubt. Cei tninly the new creations of war hav not led to the abolition of war. Th clouds of war are thick over the eart today, and the gloom is deepening. I is beginning to appear that th-> wa s-.ettled nothing, improved nothing. 1 failed to put us forward, as som people predicted it would. The phi losophy of war that '"might make light," gives the lie to all the boaste blessings of war. Civilization cam near to perishing from the earth dui ing the period from 1914 A. D. t 1919 A. D., and it is by no mean assured that we have passed out fror the shadow of death. There are mor hungry people in the world today thai ever before in its history. There ar more people clothed in rags than a any time since the world begar There are more people carrying abou in their hearts the spirit of fear thai has been known since the world be gan. This fear grips the heart ani paralyzes the hands of multitude^ This is true of the people without re para to the question of war. Mer chants, farmers, rich men, poor men men of all races anl all creeds and to a very great extent, gripped witl fear. Labor is afraid it will lose it dinner pail. The rich are afraid the? will lose their limousines. The for tunes of enlei prise are exceeding fickle, and everywhere there is fear a nameless dread. We submit thai a civilization that cannot cast out feai is, in large degree, a failure. Feai predicts failure, and then turns about and produces it. A civilization that does not liberate the mind is u failure. Physical slavery is bad enough mental slavery is worse. There is this further fact to be con. sidered. Veneer is not teal quality Fine feathers, fine nesto do not makt fine birds. Vice, adorned with fine raiment and bedecked with jewels, is nor.e the less vice, and will bring forth death juat as will the unadorned, hideous vice that is so repulsive to the eye. The wanton, brazen guilded sin of the age may not havo the serpent's hiss, but it has the serpent's sting. A man who oppresses >' the poor through raflncd mathods o1 law and In the nam* c-f progr^as It 1 no batter than the heavily arraec r J thug who waylays his victim anc - clubs hiiu into unconsciousness in or ( dcr that he ma> rob him. Saltish greet that robs by law is even more crue tlinn the brutal robber that infest , the roadside. The slimy reptile that through bribery of one sort or an a others, robs women of virtue is ai i glier product of hell than is the buc eaneer of the seas who kidnaps help i less women and sails away with then tc use them upon his lusts. The vil reprobate may be clothed in purpl ana line linen, out nis nature i? a * beastly as can be found in the realm ' ct darkness. Civilization, then, has much to caus thoughtful people to puuse and thini Poverty, fear, Vice and shame mus ^ bt destroyed before civilization, ret civilization arrives. The show in int terial development is but a sham ur less there be the moral, clean foundt t tion underneath. No man can atlor p to boast of the present day civilizt tion so long as there is poverty anj t where, hunger and want nnywher No man can say our civilization y rerfoct if there be one oppressed chil within its borders. One harlot wall e :ng the streets is a challenge tht - gives the lie to the claims of perfet n tion. One ignorant, untutored min r is a challenge of the claim to perfe< o ;| COURTESY ^2 Is a worthy i 0 y should not be J looked by the < :| Dis 1 .
