build a code of morals, not for one
SEX but for both sexes. Justice cannot
be done such lectures in brief re-
view for he spoke of almost every phase
of present day activity, giving praise
where praise was due, and fiery scorn
where it rightly belongs. Political
corruption came in for it's full share
of condemnation. His closing thought
was the looking forward to an age of
universal peace.
Dangers That Threaten America.
Mr.. Gearhart, in his afternoon lee
ture, said that the grandest century
in the worlds history is waiting for
the young man Of today. That a ma
TONS life is dependent upon the
amount of moral force generated with
in 1t, and quoted Websters statement,
To preserve the government, we must
preserve religion" Danger must spring
from among US, and we shall die as
nation, If at all, by self-inficted
wounds. The heart of lawlessness, is
found in the largest cities of America,
and Doodle, bossism and beer, is the
trinity behind the throne of evil. Some
Of the causes of this trinitys existence,
he enlarged upon as the apathy Of
good citizens, failure to vote at the
polls and the influence of political
bosses. We are responsible for this,
and "On to the primaries, on to the
polls" should be the cry of all good
citizens. He pointed out that many
forces are graphing with the evil and
the future is Frightening, but we cam
not ride to good government on flow
cry beds of ease and spasmod-
ic efforts to reform will gain little.
We must exercise eternal vigilance.
He said the sin Of the world today is
largely the sin of Judas, and Christian
ity is the only cure for that bad citi-
zenship that is prompted by avarice
and is not content with gaining wealth
in a legitimate way.
Mr.. Gearhart said that the desecra-
ton of the Sabbath threatens the safe
ty of our nation and proceeded to
prove his statement. Another danger
is the American saloon whose evil in
fluence was deplored and wildly de-
picted. Another danger to our home,
church and state, upon which he
dwelt earnestly, was the double code
of morals for young men and young
women, which has become an unwrit-
ten law in our land He appealed to
young womanhood to use her saving
power Of influence against the prevail
ing conditions, that the banner Of tenn
perance, purity and righteousness may
be victoriously unfurled to the breeze.
