Large Gatherlng Hears (Gontimudde from page 1) rament of war, but in the friendly councils of peace. Second, the Drink Traffic:-- Here again, toleration is the word. 'The liquor traffic is the arch foe of mankind. It is both seditionist send anarchistic. It spits in the face of our king and tramples our flag beneath its dirty feet. It will obey no law---it mever has and never will, save as it | is compelled to at the point of a gUN.| tne hard facts of life. Why are mil- And yet we tolerate it. The church jions of workers outside the church tolerates it. Our Canadian govern- ment, some while ago, refused 'to give clearance to liquor cargo, destined for the United States, and yet the flow thither has not diminished, but has rather increased, notwithstanding , the fact that not a single gallon is. shipped legally. And our Provincial governments not only tolerate this disloyal busi- ness, but are partners in it. They are the traffic's salesmen--playing the lofty role of bar-tenders for the trade. I do not know what action The Un- ited States of America will finally take with regard the liquor traffic, but it may be taken for granted that as a nation she will not stoop to the depths of embarking in the business of becoming retail salesmen for rum. Third, Our Economic Order: Our present economic order has had hundreds of years in which to justify itself and where has it landed us?. Greed, lust and oppression are rampant. Millions are being starved by poverty and drained by exploita- tion. Men by the hundreds are going around hat in hand begging for the simple right to live. And yet we call this Christian Civili- zation. No wonder Russia is boasting that her people, on the whole, are bet- ter off than ours. No wonder she is her working class people are being treated. How can these conditions be ex- plained when elevators and grainar-| q.ciged to decorate the flute and they textile | ies are bursting with grain, factories running, if running at all, at a mere fraction of capacity, and there is more money in the country than ever before? Many causes have been assigned, war debts, Over capitalization, water- ed stocks, gambling and extravagan- ces of one kind and another. But the real causes are gréed and the uncon- trolled profit motive. The one great- est obstacle to the spread of the prin- ciples of Jesus Christ is our economic order--"we preach the religion of Jesus and practice the religion of | was sweet and beautiful, ithe souls of the worshippers. But |/one day the priests at the and they | success." In America it used to be. "Any boy can become president," but to-day it is "Any boy may become a millionaire." It is the practice of the gospel of success, instead of the gos- pel of service that has produced the present situation. Ninety-five percent. of the income tax of America is being paid by one third of one per cent. of the population. Eighty two per cent. do not earn enough to pay any in- come tax -at all, while five sixths of the workers are receiving less than a cultural wage. é The church must stand up and face to-day? Surely it cannot be argued that it is because they are a godless people who want nothing to do with religion. For the most part they are decent, law-abiding citizens. No, they are outside the church because they believe that the church failed them in the crucial hour and that it is not | more than luke warm in its sympa- thies with them in their struggles even now. The church refused to par- ticipate actively in the reorganization of society made necessary- by the} changed conditions of life--the work-' ers had to fight their battles largely alone. "When the "Dumb Terror' of ussia, after the silence of centuries, found voice to make reply, it spake as the "Red Terror" and hurled itself in devastating fury upon the church, which had always stood for the old, order of exploitation." There is"here | a warning to be heeded. | Finally, 'said the speaker, the church must guard herself against | the influence of wealth. It is much | easier to be a voice crying in the wilderness than to be a voice, stern and uncompromising, when standing, in the pulpits of great cathedrals, ae magnificent churches, facing audien- | ces of the sleak and well-fed. "In the .temple at Jerusalem there was an old Z ' ; ~ | flute fashioned out of reeds--an old, now proposing to inaugurate immi-| gration to let the world see how well | days of Moses. The sound of the flute | flute having come down from the | ravishing covered it with gold. The flute was | never the same again. Its sweet, clear, | cool tones were now harsh, metallic | and jarring-gold had coarsened its | melody." Can the church stand pros- perity? Can she command wealth to serve?

Irvine provided him with the white gloves at the op- ening of the Supreme Court here on Tuesday. 3 Day Sale Continues JOIN THE CROWDS--Be here tomorrow!
