The transfer Of population has re-
suited not from caprice, but from great
changes in the, industrial life; md it
will not be checked SO long as the pres
ent social and industrial arran yainerts
continue. Lven the old saw-mill that
used to s!eafsn us with its clatter by
the brook-side for perhaps a dozen
hours week, has come to the city,
taken steam boiler in place of the old |
brook, ana .lls the air with its humming
voice dozen hours day, six days in |
the week. NortAacestern Christian

If history tells as anything II de-
.clares that morality, true civilization. /!
true progress cannot be guaranteed by
any man-made philosophy or ethical
system. Reason alone is insufficient to
guide us. Reason married Circum-
stance in days of old, and the offspring
was Egyptian materialism, classic nv I
'thology, Syriac Tsebaism. Reason
married Revelation at Sinai. The re-
suit has been Mosaism, from whose
light the fiery cross obtains its bril-
Lance and the crescent its gleamcur.-
