is THERE A CHRISTIAN CIVIL
ZATION?

(From the Sunday School Times.)
There are questions that the great
war has raised which arc not helped
by the thinking of thoughtful men.
FOR men cannot answer them. The
following letter and comment appear
ed in newspaper in Virginia:
"ClvllizatiOn has collapsed. No one
disputes or denies, believe, that the
nations now engaged in am effort to
destroy each other entirely have been
, regarded as the most highly cultivated
and civilized on earth. In music, art,
the sciences, manufactures, education
and all, they were nearly perfect.
/ They seemed TO have suddenly reach
ed the top, when suddenly there is a
lettering and crash, the entire fabric
coliapscs, and the bloodiest and most
brutal and destructive war ever known
is now being waged by these same
civilized" nations. We call it Chris
TAN civilization, and here is my ques-
ton: What relation does Christianity
sustain TO this civilization? If Il
Christian civilization has collapsed.
then has the Christian part Of it
collapsed, too? To what extent is
Christianity responsible for the civili-
zatlon which has collapsed? Can you
enlightcn me?-Reader.
The question is a serious and i'm
portant one. The editor doesn't feel
that he is capable of answering the
question satisfactorily.
Will some one or more of the minis
ters or thoughtful men give us the
benefit of their thinking along these
lines?
The editor of the Virginia paper
sent this clipping to the Sunday School
Times, with the following letter:

100000 at
B.B.Games of
1914 Season

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-That 25,000,-
900 spectators witnessed amateur and
professional sports in this country
during the last twelve months is suf-
ficent foundation for the oft-repeated
statement that 1914 was a record year
in American athletic competitions.
These astonishing attendance figures,
equal to approximately one-quarter of
the total population of the United
States, are not the result of haphazard
guessing. The attendance at all
forms of sports contests was recently
the subject of discussion among a
group of writer's and experts in this
city, and after much comparison and
conference the foregoing figures were
fixed upon as being comparatively ac-
curate and conservative
In the main these 100000 repre-
scented paid admissions, but not entire
ly, since in certain sports the paid
attendance forms but a small percent
age of the total assemblage of spec
tators. In some cases the figures are
official or semi-official, while in others
they are the result of careful tabula-
lions gathered from club secretaries,
newspaper reports and estimates made
by those qualified to gauge the size
and number of large crowds.
Base ball leads, as is natural, and
while official counts are not available
total of 100000 was the general es-
innate as the attendance at all games
played under organized base ball con-
troll, representing as it does forty-three
leagues and almost 300 clubs.
Football comes next with 1922 900.
Parke Davis, member of the rules com
mittee and expert football statistician,
is authority for this estimate, together
with the additional information that
$4,000 players participated in $4,000
games during the season of tea
weeks.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
approximately 100000 persons wit
messed racing, trotting and pacing
throughout the country last year. Ten
mis- and golf proved hard problems,
since few accurate records are kept.
The official figures showed that close
to 100000 spectators paid admission
for the twelve days of Davis cup tennis
play, and the eight days of champion
ship play at Newport
Another 10000 was fixed upon as
the probable attendance at all other
sectional, state and city tennis title

tournaments Golf galleries, being
without admission feature, were not
separately considered.
Automobile, motorcycle and bicycle
races were allotted 100000, and track
and field sports a similar attendance.
These figures refer principally to paid
admissions, and if they err they mini
mize rather than exaggerate. The two
international polo matches, between
the United States and English teams,
drew $4,000 spectators to Meadow
brook last spring. Probably $4,000
more followed the play in other tourn-
aments about the country giving a to-
tai of 125,OOO.
The two big college regattas, at
Poughkeepsie and New London, attract
ed 100000 persons, of whom 10000
paid for observation train or boat seats
Other dual and triangular varsity
races, together with the national and
sectional regattas of the National AS
sociation of Amateur Oarsmen raised
the total to 425,00O.
Boxing also found a prominent place
in the tabulations. Using the reports
of the New York and Wisconsin state
athletic commissions it was estimated
that fully 100000 spectators attended
professional and amateur exhibitions
and championship bouts during 1914.
In New York state alone the gate re-
ceipts, as reported to the commission,
were, in round figures, $64O,OOO and
the attendance 100000.
No attempt was made to estimate the
attendance at golf and trap-shooting
tournaments, where admission fees are
either normal or entirely dispensed
with. Cricket, soccer, hockey, lacrosse
and yachting were placed in the same
category. No place was allotted to col
lege, schoolboy or semiprofessional
base ball, but these sports or classifi-
cations of sport were used to bring the
total up to 100000
1t was agreed that 50 cents per per-
son would be most reasonable admis-
sion estimate, but even this gave the
startling total of $780, 900 in gate re-
ceipts in the last twelve months. They
form impressive testimonials to Amer
ica's place in the world of sport, but
as one man remarked as he viewed the
tabulation and estimates for the TWEEN
tieth time; Il am inclined to think
that we could add another 80 per cent
to the total and still be inside the
limit"

LILlTH NOT A BIBLE NAME
Figures In jewish Legends ss De
stroyer of lnfants-Also as
Adams First Wife.

Lilith is not a Bible name, but .
Hebrew word. used to designate an
imaginary being referred to In the Bi.
BILE, but not by name An authority
gives Lilith as the name of the first
wife of Adam, according to rabbinical
tradition" and says: She was made
of Che earth as was Adam himself, and
would not submit to be ruled over by
her husband. Seeing no possibility OF
an agreement between herself and
him, she fed away to the sea, where
she became the mother OF race OF
demons and as punishment for re-
fusing to return to Adam, one hundred
of her children we're to die every day,
Lilith became noted in Jewish legend
as a destroyer of infants and for this
reason they adopted the custom Of
writing the names of three protecting
angels on slips of paper or parchment,
and binding them upon the infant, to
prevent the evil influence of Lilith."
This refers to an ancient custom and
we do not know that any trace of It
survives. Another authority says that
the Hebrew name Lilith attaches to
the passage in Isaiah 34:14. which
says, "The night monster shall settle
there and shall flAd her place OF
rest" Popular superstition named
this imaginary night monster Lilith.
and the Jewish encyclopedia says,
The superstitions regarding her and
her nefarious doings were, with other
superstitions, disseminated more and
more among the mass of the Jewish
people. She becomes nocturnal de-
mon, flying about In the form OF a
night owl, and stealing children. She
is permitted to kill certain infants
and II child smiles during the night
of the Sabbath or of the new moon,
1t is sign that Lilith is playing with
It." The Jewish encyclopedias treats
as unworthy of notice the idea that
Lilith was Adams first wife, but adds,
"She is clear instance of the persis-
tence Of popular superstitious beliefs
The word undoubtedly is Hebrew, but
as 1t does not appear in the Bible Its
connection with the passage in Isaiah
about a demon of the night seems to
be purely arbitrary.
