LAST DAY EXERCISES
Continued from Sixth Pass.

Liquor nerves men to crime, arouses
the criminal instincts. Does it not pay
Wichita TO allow her joints? The fines
and licenses greatly reduce taxes. These
fines amount to about IS per cent Of our
total taxes, or about $4,000 annually
whilst the city pays out $4,000 year for
police and $4,000 for pauperism, mostly
caused by these same joints.
Rum is waste and loss ard also de-
bilitates the body and enfeebles the mind.
The habitual drinker is especially liable
TO epidemic diseases. Life insurance
statistics show that out OF 100000 people
2O-years-old, 13 per cent of the general
public live to be over 50. whilst but S
per cent OF incorporates live to this age.
The same power is a great source Of
political corruption, as well as Of physical
and moral ruin.
DAIsT zE1NrNGER How Hlstory Is
Made"
Everyone who reflects upon the course
of events has theory TO account for
the order or disorder in which they &C.
Cured. Thera is a cause for ali thing,
hence there must be a cause for that
greatest Of ali things, the universe.
fore the course of events can be con-
sidered as single phenomena We must
have an ever present relation Ct cause
and effect There are many philosophers
Of history, attempts to account for the
course Of human events. How does his
tory unfold itself, through Providence,
through principle of absolute science, or
in the facts and their relations, influences
and results?
The true philosophy Of history would
run to these three theories Each theory
seeks for a iaw-the theis,ic finds il in
faith, the idealist in thought, the realistic
in facts. The law Of history wherever
seen is divine. 1t is neither fate nor
chance
In the NEUROLOGICAL age no history is
found. but IN mans second period comes
beginning Of history. The nomad life
gives way TO settled lfe-the family
arises soil is cultivated. the altar is set
up. cities grow up for mutual protection

then social rights Man is the highest
product Of nature and yet through his
spiritual part ne rises above nature and
perceives the eternal and blessed.
Great historians differ greatly as Il
their method Herodotus was purely
historian and attempted no philosophy or
criticism Of course Of history. In Tau
cydldes we find keener insight and more
thought. Lirey and Plutarch show no at
tempt at philosophical tracing Of events.
Gibbon. Hume. Robertson. Voltaire show
more Of a real attempt 70 get a the
basis and causes Of history, but they are
far short Of ideal philosophical history
