Chicago, June 1S.-A dispatch to

From a strong man physically, and

prominent minister of this city,
through the hallucination that he
had told lie about member OF his
congregation.
The decline of the preacher follow

rapid. Only a few weeks suficed to
transform him from vigorous ag-
gressive exponent of the gospel to a

knowledge the many evils around u,
must yet also feel confdvu. asslr.
ance that in the struggle we shall
win and not lost, that the century
that has just opened will see great
triumph for our people.
But the surest way TO Achieve this
triumph is, while never losing hope
and belief u our progress. yet at the
same time 10 refuse to blind ourselves
TO what is evil in the coptleN pay
of the many forces, working through
and with. and against one a.other, IN
the upbuiliing of our social structure.
There is much that terl toward evil
as well as much that tends toward
good; and the true PARROT is that
man who, without losing faith IN the
good does his best to combat The
evil, to stamp il out whe.t that is
possible, and at least 10 miIimiLc its
results. Prosperity such as ours nee
essary though IL be as Tie material
basis of national greatn 'g.. inevitably
tends to undue eXaltatioR OF the
merely material side OF the national
character; and We must largely rely
on the efforts OF such men and wom-

up the spiritual life without which
the material life amounts to nothing
As generation succeeds generation
the problems change in their exter
nal shape; old needs vanish, and new
needs arise; but II remains as true as
ever that in the last analysis nation
al greatness, national happiness, ma
tional success, depend upon the char
acter of the individual man and indi-
vidual woman. We need good laws;
we need to have these laws honestly
and fearlessly administered; we need
wealth; We need science and art and

hand. But most of all We need the
essential qualities that in their sum
make up the good man and the good
woman; most of all we need that fine
and healthy family life the lack of
which makes any seeming mater'a
prosperity but glittering sham.
II the average man is brave and
hard-working and clean-liying, If the
average woman has the qualities
which make good wife and good
mother, If each has self-respect. and

thing in life is the chance to d. serv-

is evil. We must condemn the man
who is either brutal and vic, Jus. or
weak and cowardly; the man who
fails to do his duty by the public who
is bad ncighbor an idler, an neon
siderate and selfish husband, neg
lectful father. SO also we must con
demn the woman who, whether from
cowardice or coldness. from selfish

that there shall be national growth
and not national decadence, so that
in quality and in quantity our people
shal increase. The measure of our
belief in and respect for the good
man and the good woman must be
the measure of our condemnation of
the man and the woman who, wheth
er from yiciousness or selfishness or
from vapid folly, fails to do each his
or her duty in his or her special
sphere. Courage, unselfshness, COM
mon sense, devotion to high ideals,
a proper care for the things OF the
spirit and yet also tor the things of
the body-these are what we most
need TO see In our people; these are
the qualities that make up the right
type OF family life; and these are the
qualities that by precept and by eN-
