In the face. Of a depressing spirit
OF cynical sophistication and a. an
appalling lack Of chiyalry on the part
OF many or the young men Of today,
and in the face Of the growth Of the
organized industry which traffles in
human frailty, il is yet clear that
Christian society. as never before. Is
addressing itself in the spirit Of
Jesus to the task of Graduating his
ancient evil. a new light Of publicity

there never was a fallen woman with

ease. that the manhood OF the world
today must measure up to this test If
1t would wear the knightly badge Of
the conquering Christ. h hideous
world-spirit is being met with the
victorious teaching of the Saviour.
The last word of it all is in the
lesson: society is welded into one
ness; in its eakne and in its
strength, by the truth that all Of
mankind must make It's approach to
God as sinners dependent upon His
mercy. If saved at all, we must be
saved by His grace. This is the
truth that makes US tender, patient
and fOrglving. Because of the
love with which Christ loves US and
all men, we, in turn. must love His
other children too much TO hurt or
permit the hurt Of eve the least
Of His little ones.
