The Effect of High Rents

One of the most serious problems that is confronting the business men of Birmingham is the high rents of che downtown stores" said Judge H. Dryer, referee in bankruptcy
 Tn many of the failures of business Taen that have come before me recent ly the item of rent has cut quite an Important figure. Under the present rent lease system in the laws of Ala bama all the goods in any storehouse whether paid for or not, are liable on attachment for arrears of rent and un- der the provision of the law the renf for the full term of the lease can be claimed
 ."There have been several instances in which this provision has materially affected the credit of the business man. for the wholesaler as a rule does net care to place his unpaid for goods where they might be seized to satisfy a claim for rent
 "The landlords lein takes precedent over all other unsecured claims and in numberless instances in the bankrupt court the landlord has claimed all the property of the bankrupt to the exclu- sion of every other creditor
 ''In my opinion unless the business men of the city are given some re- lief from the boom time rents there will be many failures and the rent. aforesaid will be quite factor In bringing them about"

mental things are postponed or cur tailed altogether. Our young people, for example, are afraid to marry un- til competence is in sight, and afraid to have children even then.
 Now, do not mean to say that the whole country is so affected, or that the disease has progressed so far as to be fatal. Nor do l even say that currents of health are not beginning to gain the ascendancy over the cur many quarters a quickening realiza- tion that there must be new mind toward wealth. A new conscience is arising with reference to the obligation the rich man is under to the world. We hear wild and grotesque utter ances, and dismiss them with the easy charge of 'fanaticism," socialism" or anarchy" They are in reality the raucous voices which arise out of the worlds half-formed protest against the selfish and sordid use of wealth.
 The introduction of Christ into the life of the world is our only hope. That will strike at the individual hearts of men, and that is the only but entirely sufficient foundation for deep and lasting change.
 The law of Christ for property is plain: First. We own nothing; We ad- minister Gods property for Gods pur- poses. Second God is Father and we are all brothers From these two it is easy to deduce the following: The self ish use of money or of the ability to make money is sin
 This does not mean that we are not to spend money on ourselves and our families. We are to feed and clothe and train ourselves and those depend ent upon us in such way as that we shall be the best possible purveyors of God to men. Beyond that we owe to the world under God our money and our ability to make money. These are to be given according to our best judg ment, guided by the spirit of Christ.

Russian Unpreparedness

The fall of Lemberg was fraught with the utmost significance, how ever the allies may seek to minimize this victory of the Germans. The main army has not yet been beaten, but Russia has received a staggering blow which the German leaders will not be slow in following up. She occupies now a position similar to that occu- pied by Austria when the onslaughts of the Czar's troops forced her to fight with her back against the wall The Russian advance has become retreat and the allies can expect no further help from this source for some- time. While the Russians are not hopelessly beaten, their future success depends on getting sufficient ammu- milton. If this is not forthcoming soon, irreparable disaster may overtake the Czars forces.
 Yet, when Russia entered the war the whole world was surprised by the rapid progress her armies made. One brilliant victory followed after an- other. Lemebrg, the capital of Galicia, has been in the hands of the Russians nearly ever since the beginning of the war. Now they have lost practically all the territory gained from the Aus trians, their battle line is broken and they face overwhelming defeat.
 The cause of these reverses seems to be lack of ammunition, as we'll as lack of training. The latter, how ever, is far from being so important factor as the former. Although Rus sia has more men, probably, than all the other belligerents put together, they can do nothing without ammuni- ton, of which the German armies have an unlimited supply. Unpre- paredness has brought disaster.
 Unless the allies bestir themselves, Germany will give Russia a sound drubbing and then hurl her victorious troops against the allies line in the western theatre of war. The allies, as they are situated at present, might not be able to resist drive of this kind

God and Mammon

If money is not corrupting Amer ican life, it is at least vulgarizing it.
 Many intelligent and fair critics of our institutions and character have laid at our door the accusation of measuring too many things in dollars and cents. And if we are honest we must plead guilty to much of the charge.
 We despise European class distinc- tions, but we are building up q set of our own, based on the most sordid consideration About half of our novels have for their only charm a supposed insight into the lives of the very rich. Our press dispatches carry fulsome details of the doings of the millionaires. Many of our salesmen and saleswomen are becoming snobs of the worst sort in their desire to serve only the wealthy. We think that all college needs is an elaborate equipment and big endowment. Even in our churches there is notion that a backbone of about ten rich men is all we need.
 This worship of money and imitation of those who have it are introducing entirely false standards into our lives. On the one hand we spend too much in our miserable effort to keep up. On the other hand some funda-
