Where Faith Is Needed.

The social problems that face us to-
day are 80 vast. so terrifying, so un-
yielding, so deep-rooted, that courage
will fail US unless we have great faith
In God. In this crusade against the
evils OF the world to which the
church is turning we need faith AZ
never before. II takes infinitely more
faith to attack the temperance prob
lem than 1t did to build Chartres ca-
thedral. A worker for international
peace recently remarked that when
be considered the imuensity OF the an
dertaking and the opposition-an OF
position which grows venomous as thu
cause advances-he could not worM

1t is not a sign of power to make

deal to the people around us. Even IL
peoples interests are unworthy or
misdirected, we shall not win them to

1t easy to influence people If we show
genuine interest in some things that

We ought to respect anything that
