MORAL CONFUSION.

DIR. Phillips preached a very able dis
course Sunday morning. "A sermon full of
thought and replete with results of observa-
tions made in an almost unsurveyed field.
His subject was "The moral confusion of the
times We have no room for even a brief
synopsis. But the Doctor must remember
that Kansas is not the world, nor is Wichita
Kansas While the line of demarkaton be-
tween the good and the bad is well-nigh OBJ
liberated in Wichita, we confess. still there
is an excuse. The spirit of its growth and
business and its Environments altogether en-
gross the lives of our people, the good and
bad alike, and being upon one platform
touching many things we are more or less
Homogeneous to all. The Doctor himself has
lost much of that peaceful look which he
wore when he first came among us, and in
stead OF the quiet even flow of the doctrines
his soul becomes enlisted in an enterprise
and improvement about which he becomes
enthusiastic, and even scolds. The Doctor
Is catching or becoming eneiilphed in that
same confusion. We admit there Is IA letting
down. but we claim there is also a raising
up. Wichita is not wholly bad Look at
the work which is being done for humanity;
at the varions organizations for the benefit
of humanity that are being maintained in
our midst, not mentioning the churches.
Then look at the number of church build
ings which have all been erected in such a
few brief wears; at the metropolitan affair
gong up on Lawrence avenue. Inexplica-
bic almost are the moral confusions of the
times, but we believe humanity grows daily
better fitted for this life. and for the other
upon the whole.
