In very forcible appeal the speak

his address by asserting that every
great nation at some time or other
confront great crisis. This nation
is no exception. he continued for it
is evident to all who have made
study of affairs that the country is
face to face with crisis which, while
possessing great possibilities for good.
also possesses great potency for evil.
He referred to the outstanding char
acteristlcs of the nation as the great
strength and enlightenment of the
present age. the Increased material re-
sources and the great growth of the
cities All of these things may be
turned into evil or they may be made
to accomplish great good The way
to take advantage of the wonderful
opportunities the age affords for do
ing good is to educate the children to
proper sense of Christian RESPONSE
bility. and this must come through
the Sunday school.
