comforts, larger wealth by the great
mass of the American people
Such hunger ~ the indication OF n
healthy growth
As To the causes Of religious unrest,
these may he found in the inherent con-
traction between an Oriental religion
and Occidental nations. Evangelical
Christianity can better he lived in Asia
than IN Europe or America. The social
standards Of three thousand years ago and
two thousand years ago are still taught as
the standards to-day. The problems OF

by faith. &c. which troubled the minds
OF early Christians are still harped upon

present day.
