AUTOMOBILE INCIDENTS.

TO OUTSIDERS the death rate in New York
from automobile accidents is remarkable, al
though it does not seem so TO the police of the
metropolitan city.
During the month of January nine persons were
killed and thirty-seyen more or less manned by
tomobiles in the streets of the greater city. Dur
ing the last twenty-five months the number Of
killed in this manner was 263 and the number in
jured ,663. The death rate and the rate from in
jnTies according TO these figures for January, fell
somewhat below the average, therefore the New
York police do not regard it as unusual. But even
at that, the record is appalling.
In most cases the accidents are due to reckless
ress and careesSness to the driving of the at

In regard to the threatened strike Of coal min
ers, the consumer will pay the freight should the
strike occur. So far as he is concerned il is case
Of Heads, win; Tails lose. But this is true of
almost every strike that affects a necessity of life
OF course there are cases in which the consumer
may be said 10 benefit with society generally when
there is betterment of conditions in some great
overpad and overworked industry brought about
by successful strike but even then the consumer
pays the freight This is the reason why he looks
closely into the occasion of a strike before he
sympathizes with either party.

He is reported to have won big sums
of money on the races, but whether

other question. No wonder the fair

and also affects their eyes. Some Of
them are in such a hurry to get away
from the grounds that they hustle
their clothes on without stopping per-

transient elements in it yet it outlined
the mission of the church and the
method of establishing the kingdom.
Her mission Is three fold, preach the
good news of the kingdom, heal the
sick and cast out demons"
She has taken the first part Of her
commission seriously She has done
a great work in preaching the good
, news" nor must she ever ignore or
minimize its importance for this viii
forever be an important part Of her
work.
But the church has not taken ser
iously the second and. third items in
her program. It is true, that there
have been cranks and faddists who
have believed in divine healing and
who have tried to raise the sick in
the manner of the Lord. But we must
interpret this item OF her program in
the light of the will OF God as reveal.
ed in the order OF nature. In this light
this item Is sane, sensible and beau.
tiful.
1t is the church's business to learn
that sickness and diseases have causes
and that these causes are more or less

Christianity is the only solution of
the social problem. This is the rem
ledy for present evils. Will the church
apply it? 1t is a tremendous work.
ITO reconcile hostile and suspicious
races; to pacify industrial classes; to
lmoralize business; to exterpate social
vice; to purify politics and to simplify
life This enterprise is so vast that
lit appalls us to think of it. But this
and nothing less is the business of
4 the church. This is her work. She
dare not shift the responsibility. For
this she is sent into the world. 1t is
this revelation that will arouse her,
to action.
1 She is already beginning to realize
her mission as she never has before.
! 1t will dawn upon her soon that she
has the remedy for selfish, pleasure
seeking and money-loving age-and
that it was for just such conditions
and times as these that her Master
commissioned and clother her with
power and sent her to the conquest
! of the world Her task from the hui
man side looks impossible, but she
has been sent out to do the impos-
sible. And she can do all things
through Him who strengthenth her.
She will learn that it is only when she
undertakes the greatest tasks that she
finds her strength equal to her needs
The making of better world is a.
i tremendous undertaking. but it can
and will be dcne-God wants 1t done
1t is God who is stirring the world and
binding nation to nation and land to
land 1t is because He is in the world
stirring mems hearts that we have the
social problem.
This world is going to be redeemed.
God is going to do it, through His
church. But the church is slow in
carrying out His commission. May
point out in conclusion some changes
that must take place in the life and
work of the church.
J. The church must close up her
divided ranks and heal her divisions
and fling to the winds her traditions
that impede her progress, lay aside her
prejudice and bury her sectarian spirit
and cooperate with all men who love
the Lord Jesus and are working to
make better world A divided church
can never cope with all the united
forces of sin. Suppose the christian
men Of this city would speak as one
christian man ought to speak. for a
clean city. for sane observance OF
the Lords day. for the closing OF
Sunday shows and places that injure
the morals of our young people. For

square deal for every man or wom-
an who is trying to earn an honest
! living-it would not be long until the
evils that infest our city would be
stricken to the ground and crawl off
to die in the dark.
If the ministers OF this city would
unite in one concerted action for the
right against the wrong and tell the
, sinners in our churches that they are
living double lives, one kind of a life
on Sunday, another during the week.
i do not believe in fanaticism but I
am afraid that we are losing that d.
! vine flaming passion for justice that
! is always essential to moral and relig-
ious progress. It is easy to denounce
unpopular sins such as drunkenness
and the social evil, but we hesitate
when we stand In the presence of
political wrongs and the notorious In
dustrial sins.
| One congregation or one preacher
can do but little battling alone in a
city for social righteousness, but a
dozen churches and preachers united
can make it city of God
| O. In the second place, the mission
Jesus gave her but one commission
and while there were certain local and
