IS THE WORLD GROWING BETTER?

has snuffed out the tallow candle
These are only a few Illustrations
taken from thousands which clearly
show that the world is growing better
from a material standpoint. The COM
mon people are today enjoying many
comforts and luxuries that Washing
ton and Franklin never dreamed Of.
The world is growing better from an
educational standpoint 1t would be
a waste of time to attempt to prove
this as It is perfectly obvious to all.
Quincy testifes that he spent three
weeks in single question in long
division, and was thrashed soundly
every night for not being able to
solve it, Surely we have improved
upon such educational ideals and Gus
toms The very poorest children now
throughout our great republic may at
tend school and receive the same con
sideration as the children of the rich.
The vast amount we are eXpending for
education in these days would have
been regarded as a criminal waste one
hundred years ago.
The world is certainly growing bet.
ter from a standpoint Of medical
science. A century ago if child was
i'll the chances were that he would be
bled profusely. If that did not kill
or cure him he was filled with
calomel. IF doctor in these days
attempted to treat patient as they
did in the good (0 old days, he
would either be sent to an insane
asylum or states prison Hospitals
dispensaries, retreats, homes for the
aged, etc, are striking modern illus
trations Of the fact that the world is
growing better from the viewpoint OF
the humanitarian treatment of tho
body of man. A century ago santa

Rev. r. Elmer Smith ct the Meth

his subject the question, rs the

was taken from Pslam 42,5.
Hope thou in Ged." Mr.. Smith spoke
in part as follows This world is GER
tainly a most wretched and terrible
world if we look at it through smoked
glasses. There are some good people
who never look at it in any other
way They prefer smoked glasses.
They really like them. They have
looked through them so long that
their vision has become narrow and
distorted. And the saddest part of it
all is that they imagine they see clear
ly and intelligently. At the outset
this preacher admits that conditions
are not ideals by any means, that sin
is robbing multitudes of people Of the
best things in life, that the accursed
rum traffic is Staying it's deluded vic

every year. that mammon worship IS
the only worship that vast numbers
know anything about, that lust is un-
dermining the physical and moral
health of a large fraction of frail
humanity, that Sabbath dissertation,
profanity, civic corruption, ETC., ETC.,
abound. 1t is with sad hearts that
we admit all this to be true. But let
us pause this evening in the very
midst of these discouraging facts and
tendencies and ask-'It the world
really growing better?"
We will all admit that the world is
growing better along material lines
The inventive genius of man has add
ed much to the comforts and enjoy
ments of life. The swift ocean grey
hounds have supplanted the slow sail
ing vessels. The rushing iron horse
has superseded the numbering stage
coach, The convenient match has
taken the place of the inconvenient
| flint. The humming sewing machine
| has caused the slow needle to be
largely discarded. The electric ligh
