WAR Or THE FrIrRE.-That
history repeats itself has passed into
a proverb: Int il history is sure to
repeat itself. then woe to the present
civilizstion- As nearly as we can
see through the dim glass of history
and the ssiH DINNER glass OF tradi-
ton, 81 the civilizations that have
preceded onrs have eliminated
IN a state IN which the rich
were rich beyond their: capacity
to enjoy and the poor miserable
beyond their power TO endure.
Then the civilization was over
thrown and barbarism succeeded.
10 Egyps, Assyria and Rome rose,
became corrupt, and fell. Will our
civilization 60 the same way: The
road We hare travelled so far il he
same. The line OF deInarscation
between the rich and the poor is
becoming plain and palmer so rap
idly that comparison OF decade
with the preceding decade reveals q
startling progress on the road to
the point II which previous civiliza-
tons hare collapsed. Where viii it
end. Must it ever be true of civil
lizafions as of men that
From year % year we ripe aud ripe,
And thea from year 70 year we rot and roty
Will there never be civilization
that will endure: Must all the
efforts Of men TO build up society
which shall not fall to pieces of it's
own rottenness forever fall Ii his
tory is to repeat itself again, then
this civilization must sicken and
die as all previous ones have done.
What is the cause of it all: What
is the disease OF which all past civil
lizations had died? OF what dis
ease is il that ours is already sick
unto death? Unless al. The Wis
dom of the past is folly and all its
truth faisehood. then the disease is
mammon worship-greed of gain.
Instead Of the sure rock Of associa-
ton for the common good, the only
foundation ON which society can
stand, we have builded on the sands
Of composition. Mammon worship
makes men not each Others associ-
ats and helpers, but their eompe-
titors and foes; and so while men
worship mammon, the shrewd, the
cunning. the grasping and the men
who have the power Of accumulation
will grow richer and yet richer,
while the rest must grow ever
poorer. Then, when the strain
becomes too great, civilization fails.
Either those who are seeking to win
the people from mammon worship
and TO overthrow the competitive
system, which il it's other and COM
mon name, will be heard, and that
soon, or history will repeat itself. -
