Socialism in China.
n the Philadelphia Ledger.


The most Interesting news that has
come from China for many days Is the
intimation from Picking that it is the in
tention of the new rulers of the republic
to embark upon a wide field of expert
mental legislation in social affairs. Had
DR.. Sun Vat Sen not been so supremely
successful in his political leadership, his
announcement of his intention to enlist
in a new movement for social revolution
might be disregarded as idle beasting.
but 1T cannot be SO regarded. There is
every prospect that China will actually
be made the field for social experimental
ton on q wider scale than the world has
yet seen. The time and the ground IL
ripe for such a trial for the modern pana-
ceas for our social ills, for the traditions
which have to be overcome are Of q diff
ferent sort than those which make the
problem In the western world so COM
pick. For one thing, capital and indus
try are in China yet unorganized, and
there are no insuperable obstacles to q
trial Of reforms which when urged in
other lands seem 50 impossible of appli
cation without destructive revolution.
If China's influential statesmen are
really bent upon following the lead OF
Sun Yat Sen In this respect the results
will be profoundly Interesting TO the

naturalization" Of the mines and rail-
ways. etc, may AFFORD no sure criteria

REV. SAMUEL W. GRAFFLIN,
The Desolation OF Empti-
ness; A Dearth of Men"
Isa., 24:I-6: Luke, I3:34-35.

IN ORE gold has been mined this year
KIM than ever before, more books
- written, more songs penned. more
luxuries created, to charm the stated souls
and bodies Of men. But what shall we
say concerning the output of the world in
real manhood? Earth's greatest prophets
have been her poets. and well and truly
did Goldsmith sing in The Deserted Viii
lage":
Ill fares the land. to gathering ills a prey:
Where wealth accumnlates and men decay.
1t is pitiful picture which the prophet
Isaiah draws. of the emptiness and DESC
1ation of his native land. Priest and
people, rich and poor, master and servant
mistress and maid, are all involved in the
utter emptiness" of the scene; and as
though to fix the picture and lock the
door of hope the lesson closes with the
vail, And few men left.
Not one. whit more hopeful, in its out
look, Is the picture drawn. in the second
lesson, of the weeping Christ, as. brood
born of her unresponsiveness to love and
truth.
Three thoughts come to us from this
topic and these texts:
L. The Causes That Lead to Lack of
Manly Men" Slackness of moral fiber
Is always the fruitage of ease. The Spar
tan mother taught her son to Ride well.
to shoot an arrow straight. and to tell the
truth While this teaching lasted Sparta
was invincible. The PIONEERS were hardy.
fearless men; the missionaries of the
cross, in every land and age, have been
men and women who put ease and self
away: who dared on God and made of
adverse circumstances the stepping stones
to triumph. Strength is fostered by ex-
ercise and when we cease to strive We
lose the power to strike against the evil
or for the good.
Worldliness saps the sources OF true
manliness The infidel and the worldly
man may bring about a reign of terror.

for fearless. truthful and courageous
manhood, is one great cause Of the lack
of manly men. Nothing that pedagogy or
science can devise will ever take the place
of family worship. and the evening hour
when motherhood regales the childish
mind and heart with hero stories from
the book of God Nor will this or any
other land raise manly men till We re-
sumo the habit, once observed of making
patriotism a synonym for love Of God
and country. God first and country. as
the place where men are privileged to
make THE kingdoms OF this world, the
kingdoms of our God and of His Christ.
III. The cure for this dearth OF manly
men. We have too large q faith in God,
in man and in ourselves. to feel that the
golden age of manhood has passed for
ever. We believe that could men see
the world and all its needs through the
eyes of Jesus Christ; could they realize
the grandeur that inheres in manhood
saved by grace and hard at work for
God and fallen men; We should see a
real revival of that Christian chivalry.
that noble self-surrender. on the part OF
men. to high ideals and noble deeds. that
influence and effort. God give the
prophets vision and a heart of love; then
as we catch the view of the worlds worth
and need, as Jesus saw it, We, too. shall
hasten forth to do and dare and die. IL
need be. for the, cause He loved. And
we shall be maply men.
III. The cry for men. One OF the ap-
palling signs of the times Is the willing
ness on the part of SO many boys and
girls to be just ordinary" We could
forgive the uneducated or unreined man
and woman Of pioneer times: we could
even praise the boy or girl who stayed Al
home, reluctantly giving up a cherished
hope of education, in order that they
might pay off the mortgage on the farm
or send some other child through the
schools hut neither the church or So
ciety should for one minute tolerate the
boy or girl the man or woman, content
to be just Ordinary" The cry IL for
men. Ministers are often besieged by
business men with the request that they
find for them honest and intelligent
young men" There are silent churches
by the score that are eager to find some
godly man, some man of intelligent 'piety.

with preparation. both of mind and
heart? God hear our prayer for them
and send us men. Men who hate ease
and worldlness: men who know God and
love His Son; men who have vision and
have faith: then shall the moral slackness

Men who honest and will not lie:

Men who have courage TO dare and do

After the conduct of religious. services
and addresses by Rev. William Orem
who has taken a leading part In the
work since its conception, Rev. DR.. Sum-
walt, DR.. Barnes and Mr.. Swartzell an
informal discussion was participated in
by q number Of others, the general opin-
ion being that no organization should be
attempted without the assurance that the
Baptist church has determined to leave
its present location for one in the vi
entity Of Chevy Chase Circle, but that
since 1t seemed that this assurance had
been given, arrangements should be made
for such services as would not interfere
with those of the Baptist church.
The meeting finally determined to ac-
cept the offer Of the Baptist congrega-
ton of permission to use It's building
for services Sunday evenings and at
other times which would not interfere
with the meetings Of the Baptist
church. and a committee consisting of
eleven persons was appointed to carry
out this plan and to take such other
steps as might be found desirable to
bring about the organization of a
church to take the place Of the Bap-
fist church when that church should
leave it's present location.
