The SOCIAL PROBLEM.
A Lively Sermon from Rev. Clay
McCauIey.
Communism Described ~ Beautiful in The
ory but Utterly Impracticablo-
Social Problems Cannot
bc Solved By War.

"The Social Problem" was the subject OF Rev.
Clay McCauley's discourse in All Souls Unitaran)
Church yesterday morning. He said the history Of
the world is in large measure record Of efforts to
solve the social problem, and II is yet unsolvcd.
This problem is composed Of two factors-selfish-
ness and dependence. Each individual is possessed
OF the selfish faculty OF acquisition which Is never
content, but constantly asks for more. Each per-
son also has social faculties that t him for society,
and needs that make II essential that he live In
society and beside the earth is full Of people II
were wcll.niEh impossible TO escape from society.
The acquisition instinct forces all men into com.
petition.
THE STRONG SUCCEED
while the weak fail. The successful rule the nm.
successful serve The rulers grow oppressive and
sfrrognnt arr and the servants rebel. War drenches ne.
succeed but II II docs It brings no permanent re-
lief The speaker In support Of this proposition re.
Vowed the French revolution Of lTn.W in an able
and comprehensive manner, showing that com.
munism, though beautiful in theory Is utterly i'm.
practicable because the highest conception Of II

try by ihc Cstabi ,hmunt Of universal suffrage but
uic sch,!uvss Of man, which j. yet dominant, has
thus lar prevented the Inauguration of the era Of
equality aud fraternity. The rich are growing
richer Il. the czpCMse Of the poor. who are growing
poorer constantly. The result is arrogance on the
one Side and enviOus discomfort on the other This
hrs reached point at which one social fabric Is In
