A new ERA OF
WORLD LIFE.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 2. - "The.
evangelization of the world must be
accomplished in this generation" de-
clared DR.. Robert e.. Speer, of New
York City. in an address to the student
volunteer convention last night. DR..
Speer and Bishop L. L. Kinsolving Of
South Brazil, bishop of the Episcopal
church. were the. speakers last night
Bishop k~insolVing- emphasized the
needs of Latin-America for more mis-
sionaries. 5s
Previously, 5000 students and visl-
tors listened to impassioned appeals
from natives Of China and Japan and
from missionaries returned from India
and South America for help in meet
ing what was characterized as the
greatest opportunity Christianity has
ever faced. .t =, ~. .
"A new era. of world life" said DR..
Speer, "has broken upon us revolving
the essential unity of the problems Of
personal salvation and national
character and of racial relationships
across the world: 1t is soon realized
that for us the only world that there
is, is not the world of 1000 year old
trees or country aid brutes. but of a
single generation of men.
1.-THE present generation of men Is
in mortal need. It Is no answer to
this need to promise these men that
long after they have .crumbled to dust
by the slow processes Of national
education the Gospel win have filter
ed down to their children. This
present generation, moreover, Is in
plastic flux, and II the idea Of Christ
does not pervade this flow in this
generation it will find in the next that
other ideas have m~onopolized 1t,
This emphasis upon evangelization
must give form to our present day
missionary policies. It should direct
the choice by young men Of their life
work. No other call In tho world to-
day Is as needy, as inviting. as rich
in its return for the investment of
life as the purest form of evangelistlc
work at home and abroad"

THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

Editorial in New York World: "A
miracle" is the approving YER
dict of a professor of political econ
omy OIL the banking and currency bill
which is expected to become e law
today or tomorrow: ""not ten of the
men in congress VINO voted for it." he
says. understood its fundamental
principles"
Yet this great measure embodies the
hopes Of three generations Of plain
Americans. It is the realization of
ideas that nave been tenaciously held
for a hundred years. Delay in its en-
actment has been due to some extent
to popular errors and ignorance, but
much more to the obStinacy and greed
or men who made great claims to dis
tinction as financiers and economists.
The fundamental principles Of an
honest banking system, providing a
sound currency and establishing credit
upon a substantial basis, have been
near the hearts of Americans ever
since they first assailed the corrupt
and monopolistic United States bank.
Many Of the mistakes that have been
made by deluded parties and factions
may be traced to the exa~sperating in
justices of superior persons who, were
just as mistaken and not SO honest.
1t was not the learned professors
or the skilled financiers who created
the independent treasury in $780, 1t
was the plain people, then as now ac-
cused Of misunderstanding fundament-
al principles. The new institution did
not produce all of the results expect
ed, but it did some things. 1t made an
other central bank forever impossible.
1t broke ground for today's deliver
ance. -,&
EInr ft.n caSYNrtxr -. rrI
of our ~pretentiouS financiers have adj
vocated makeshifts, always hoping
that at some opportune moment they
might reconstruct on a grand scale
the old monopoly Of money and credit.
For more than seventy years, in
spite of wars. panics, cheap money
crazes and other distractions, many
of the plain people have cherished the
belief that in due time they should
acquire a banking system controlled
by law and not by favor. and secure a
stable currency equal to public needs
n free from manipulation.
If during this period the stage has
been constantly set for depression and
bankruptcy the fault h been as much
that Of the financiers as Of the peo'
pie. No ten men, but tens of thou
sands of honest men, faithfully repre-
sented In congress and in the White
House, nave at length changed the
whole order Of things.
Such an accomplishment worked out
in toll and suffering is not an accident
and 1t is not a miracle. 1t is the will
of the people made manifest at las
after years of struggle. 1t is the tri-
umph Of Democracy in a field where
the encounter with it's own delusions
was less trying than the conflict with
the ponlroS1s rom n vicious con-
ceits of it's adversaries.
