How Value Is Measured.

1t Is believed by men, for instance.
that tuberculosis and typhoid fever are
largely preventaDle diseases, and posses
sion OF such belief imposes upon men the
duty to undertake every known method
OF minimizing these Affections, A SINH
lar situation exists In SO far as moral de-
yelopment is concerned.
The value OF d man TO humanity is
mea asuTed by the extent OF the circle in
which is included the volume Of his con-
slderat!on for the welfare OF others.
Lowest In the scale is the man who has
absolutely no thought for the we'll being
OF his assoeia tess who cares for no other
being, but who. on the contrary, will
take from others without compunction
In order to seliishly work in his own
behalf exclusively; who will even take
human life In order that his own sha II
be preserved TO him. a most potent ex-
ample OF this lowest order has been had
within the past few weeks in the ndl :
vidual lawlcssncss displayed by crea-
ture in one OF the mining camps. From
this lowest type tho grades progress up
ward 20 the perfect type represented In
Christ.
From the speakers viewpoint. a peo-
pies position in the scale OF humanity
could be best estimated by their concern
over the welfare OF children and the I'M

highest type of civilization is seen in the
community which seeks first assurance
OF superiority In the next generation,
that from one to the other there shall be
continuous progress,

Love for Children.

Love FOR children is greater than the
love OF man for woman and the love of
woman for man. This principle asso-
ciated with proper concern for their phys-
teal. moral and mental welfare and the
adoption OF the single standard OF NOR
allty for men and women. is going TO
prove TO be the salvation of the race In
superiority OF Its future generations
The home Was never in greater danger
than II is today. The people have turned
over ch'ldren's amusement to the AmerI-
can business man, who is exploiting for
profit only the right OF children to have
recreation. The moving picture show is
the grea test menace 10 children, said the
speaker, who described the case OF a
young culprit once brought before him
on a charge OF burglary. who declared
that his first inclination toward crime

II Is practically assured that the audi

Looking to the Future.

The sacreduess and responsibility OF
fatherhood and motherhood can not he
too often OF TO forcefully Impressed upon
the human mind. IT is estimated that In
the year 1914 approximately LOCO, 900
children Will be born in the United States.
II is a sad reflection upon existing con-
ditions 70 learn that about 250,00 of
these Will probably die before reaching
the age of twelve months. the speaker
added. In view of this awful condition,
DR. Gowans declared. there should be
an awakening. Many fathers and moth
ers are not properly fitted for the re-
spons!bilftics OF iatherhood and mother
hood, and the large percentage of deaths
among infants Is brought about through
ignorance and lack OF attention TO pre-
yentable diseases
In any other activity of life no man
is accepted as being qualified except
after faithful prcpara ton. Yet IN the
most important sphere OF life-in the
matter OF fatherhood and motherhood
the race is being injured through igno-
rance begotten OF non-prepar ration for
parenthood.
The new education goes further than
the mere training OF people TO think II
reaches beyond mental development alone.
by including physical training, 1t teaches
children to think and TO do and to be,
and this system will bring to the race
through future generations a superiority
impossible under a system Of mental de-
Velopment alone.
