The modern city will become : formless mob of unemployed men and the countryside will become a wilderness of peasants and since the urban masses will have no food and no means of commanding it, we may expect the most violent perturbations before they are persuaded to accept their fate ,ln a philosophical spirit. Revolutionary social outbreaks are not the results of plots, they are symptoms of social disease. They are not causes, rbut effects. This is what I mean when I write of a breakdown in civilization. I mean the death of town life, which cannot go on without money, and the cessation of organized communications. I mean a breakdown in the organizations for keeping the peace.; I mean an end to ganized education. I mean the smashing of this social order In which we live, through the smashing of money, which has already occurred to a large extent In Russia, which is going on in many parts of eastern Europe, which seems likely to occur within a few months in Germany, which may spread into Italy and France, and. so to Britain and even to the American continent, and which can only.be arrested by the most vigorous collective action to restore validity to money. Now Mr. Wells declares the place at which to start this vigorous collective action is in Washington during the arms conference, but he notes there is no step being taken and he warns the world that the impending disaster is at hand. If his analysis is not a wild speculating on dark forebodings, then he has sounded an alarm which, if disregarded, means misery and woe. As a matter of candid opinion, we believe Mr. Wells Is. unduly alarmed and falls to realize that money is not in itself the basis of prosperity. It Is a medium of exchange and a measure of values. Inflation gradually will cure itself, in fact that operation is underway at all times, and is disclosed in food-hoardin- g CASUALTIES OF WAR CONTINUE TO GROW. ip'It la surprising news to many perj - sons that the number and percentage of men disabled by war is constantly iiicreasing Many young men who escaped the rigors of the front lines apparently unscathed are now beginning ,io show the effects of their experiences In physical or mental breakdowns.

Wells, the English writer who is extending the Washington conference, 'answers in the affirmative. His utterance is called pessimism and to that charge he replies: ii. I suppose they would call the Snote of fire alarm or the .toot of a motor. horn "pessimism" until ; the thing hit them good and hard. It would have the same effect of a disagreeable warning and to the even tenor of their ways, They argue that this alleged 'decadence is not going on, iror what is from a soundly practical point of view the same thing,' that it is never going to reach '"them or anything that they really ""care for The starvation of Russia to an empty shell, the break-uof'j China, the retrogression of p southeastern Europe is barbarsim, the sinking of Constantinople to irthe level of a drunken brothel, Mthe: steadily approaching !of Germany, is nothing to these "optimists." America is all tright, anyhow, and am I my brother's' keeper?! It is just a phase "of misfortune "over there" and the people must get out of it as. they can. Wait for the swing of 'the pendulum, the turn of the tide. Things will come right again-o- ver the heaps of dead, There Jiave been such slumps before in "those countries away over there, notoriously less favored by God as 'they are, than America. " It may be well, therefore, to go over this matter a little more fully and to give my grounds for supposing; that there Is a rot, an undoing going on in our system that .;will not necessarily recover that theimovement is not "the swing a pendulum" nor this ebb an And , , ebb that will turn again. further, that this rotting process la bound to affect not merely Europe and Asia, but ultimately America.

Elder Shreeve said. He then referred to sn article in the Saturday Evening Post of September 3. 1901. and sine published in book form by Senator Albert Beveridse under tho title. '"Tho Toung Man and the World." in which the senator asks questions of young ministers of various churches for a plain "yes or no" to throe questions. Tho questions were: "Dou you believe in God the Father. Ood a person. Ood a definite and tangible intelligence ?" Not one minister answered yes. but each wanted to explain that the diety might be a definite Intelligence, or It might not that tho "latest thought" was much confused upon the matter. ",--'- j- ! MORE EXPLANATION'S. The second question. "Io you believe that Christ was the son of the living Ood. tent by Hint to save, the world? Do you believe that Christ was Ood's very Son, with a divinely appointed mission, dying on the. Cross and arisen from tho dead?" Again not sn answer with an unequivocal yes, but aa;aln explanations were offered and in at least most of the answers was that Christ was the most perfect man the world had seen, and humanity's greatest moral teacher. The final question was, "Do you believe when you die, you will live again, as a conscious Intelligence, knowing who you are and who other people are?" Again not one answer was unconditionally affirmative. "Of course, they did not know." Elder Shreeve quoted a large number of writers upon the subject of Christianity in an effort to prove that the churches of today, although professing and calling themaelres Christian, were not teaching the plain and simple truths of the gospel message as delivered by Christ and His apostles and concluded with the following statement: THING OF PAST. AOther lnalancee can be produced to defnonatrate that tho rood old Christian religion for which men died, la a or tho past. That almple faith thing In an Heavenly Father and a crucified Savior, and resurrected Redeemer, with the simple gospel of salvation, is a thing of tho past. And In place thereof we have Institutions teaching the youth of the land who are committed to their care, evolution and Darwinism, denying, the Ood of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob, the Christ of tho New Testament, the teachings of His apostles and ministers. By these teachings they have and are planting in the hearts and minds of thousands of young men who should bo a moral force In the world, the seeds of infidelity and atheism. The cry has rone up through all the land: Where are the old paths In which our fathers walked? Gone through the teaching of your profeiiora, so that today there is as much difference between the gospel of Jesus Christ and the teachings of preeent day Christian ministers, as there is between light and darkness."
