As Rich As Croesus.

The wealth of Cresus, which has
passed into a proyerb, has been vari-
ously accounted for. The possessors
of Sardis, the capital of the Lydian
kings, were enriched by the neighbor-
hood of the river Pactolus, which
flowed down from Mount Timolus to-
ward the Hermes, and brought with
1t considerable quantities of gold in its
sands. To this cause historians often
ascribe the abundant treasures be-
longing to CrGsus and his predeces-
sors, but Crpsus possessed besides
other mines near Pergamus, and an
other cause of wealth is also to be
found in the general industry of the
Lydian people. They were the first

carried on retail trade, and the fist

secondly, by the prevalence of di-

is the duty of the Christian Church to
speak out. There has been a decline
in the birth rate in every Western
country, most marked in the English
speaking countries; greater in the
United States than in any other coun-
try. 1t is largely due to the loss of
the sense of responsibility to God for
the fruits of marriage. 1t is symp-
