I do not know how you feel about it, but each day finds me more disgusted with the established social order. As a race of people we are growing insincere, suspicious, pessimistic, cold, unfaithful, selfish, cruel. We do not believe each other, and we do not expect much to be believed. The associations between men and women are eVerything and . anything but what they should be. Sen- timent is dead. Love has gone out of the back door. Greed and avarice and vulgarity display themselves in the homes of the rich. Strife and discon- tent and slavish drudgery reign in the hovels of the poor. Mammon rule. Art is set aside. and the soul of simple good- ness is fioutcd with derision and mock- ery. Rich women gamble and flirt and gymen in New York (lity, when on», prominent minister said, ” the church- should inculcate the teachings ol'Jesus,” to which another replied, “ Dr. Whi- ton's, position is an admirable one, but if the clergy of thie‘city should attempt such a thing. nine-tenths of the pulpit-.1 would be vacant within a year.” What is to be thought of such an ad- mission ? Christ’s social teaching is “admirable.” Of course it is; and it is quite safe to admire and say nice things about it in the abstract. But when it comes to the actual application, it will not be tolerated even in the church. It must not be preached, in order that the man, if such we may call him. may keep his place in the pulpit. Surely the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God, and for judgment not according to appearance nor With respect of persons, but accord- ing to righteous judgment and with im- partiality. This means that the church â€"â€"thc men and women of the churches â€"'mu.~‘t be free from complicity with dishonestv and injustice. not simply in hideous terms, but under the guise ol‘ “ legimatc business ” and “ practical politics.” And unless the church does . this, all its efforts at outside “ reform ” will prove ineffectual. It is because the church, while then. retically Christian, has practically ru- jected the ethics of Christ’s gospel that. it is as salt- without savor, and has ceased to exert sufficient moral influ- ence eufiicient moral influence to com- mand the confidence of men, or even awaken enthusiasm among those who. from various reasons, contribute to its support. In a mild sort of way all churches and church people wish to “ save ” society; but they seem to have forgotten that Christianity is abattle, not a dream, and that to “ follow Je- sus” means to bear witness in social and business and political life to the truths which he taught and the princi- ples which he died in upholding. The need of the hour is for vital faith in the central fact. that this is a moral uni- verse. The problem of life is to retain and develop God-consciousness, the con- R.J. Mchenuv. J. A.

Nobody knows what life means or why they are living. To many people it is all a Force. Some strive to assist them- selves out of the tangle by taking their own lives. Preachers preach; revival meetings are held ; we are told of God and the sacrifice of Jesus. But. the car- nival of misery grows space. Men long grown bitter say there is no God, and cease to adore at any shrine. Delicate maidens and little children are forced from the shelter of their homes to enter the great " grind ” of making a living. Young men meet snares and pitfalls up- on every hand. Society licenses hells ot ruin for their undoing. Money is the measure of meritâ€"of all things; and it is next to impossible to get money without getting it at the cost of anath- er’s comfort. I say I do not like it. It is infamous; it is cruel beyond all reck- oning; it makes fiends of saints, and renders it well-nigh impossible for any man to be good. It has eaten up the soul of humanity, and made of men and Women whited sepulchrvs. But the system can be changed. It is man-made. and when man finds he is failing in the creation of a thing. he has the blessed privilege of changing his reality, to the Reality of Religion ; not religion in in the narrow, dogmatic, ec- clesiastical sense of the word. but in its larger, deeper, higher meaningâ€"~inolu- sive of all diverse interests of' life, touch- ing every relation between man and man, embodying the great principles which bind us to the God of things as they are, and yoke us to our follows for the bearing of each other’s burdens, and the fulfilling of the law of Christ. And these are the principles of Social-- iam.--The Vanguard. 0-0-9 How Capitalism “ Works.” “ The Rich do n’t seem to make any- thing. What do they save ? " asked Hodge of Professor Status Quo. “ Well, for one thing,” said the Pro- * f'essor, “ they save you from the tempta- tions of riches. The poor we have al~ ways with usâ€"to do our dirty work.” “ Then, it’s our money they save? "' said Hodge. “ Well. yes. of course, in a sense," said Professor Quo. " It is the reward of their abstinence from consuming what. you produceâ€"they save out of the in~ terest on their investments.” “What are investments?” Hodge. asked.

' The Socialist cries “halt!” in the mad rush to destruction, and proposes that the people reconstruct the social order on a basis more suitable to the demands of the 8:58. For these reasons I am a Socialist. For those reasons I insist that every thoughtful. loving woman look into con- ditions as they exist to-dav; and if she bring an indictment against them «- which she must do if she be honestâ€"I ask that she take up the Socialist pro gramme and examine it thoughtlully and conscientiously. and see what. con- c|u<ions it will bring to her mind.
