Unrest !, IN war was, in part, born OF it
Eaters Z, beginning Of the war this
ssroi We allude to had become APP
parent IN industry, in society in gem
eral, and even in the church.
Men are running here and there,
seeking a solution for this and that.
I'VE are never satisfied. For the vast
majority of people life holds i'll
terests, comforts, pleasures, excite
ments, unheard of, undreamed of, a
generation ago And yet we have not
achieved contentment. We are, if
anything, farther away from it than
ever.
The world is getting better. No
man who has ears to hear and eyes
to see can doubt this. Never before
has such general 'brotherliness' been
apparent in mans dealings with his
unfortunate brethren. The increase o.
the application of social justice has
been more notably manifested in the
past decade than in the whole of the
previous century. And yet we are
more dissatisfied with life than ever.
What is the answer?
We do not know. We doubt if any
one can give any adequately salts
factory answer. But we dc know this
that the coming decade will be the
most changeful and significant the
world has yet seen.
Within its space we predict will
come universal suffrage for women;
national prohibition; government
ownership of railroads; municipal
ownership of public utilities; possible
arbitrary restriction of the profit one
may derive from ones. investment:
proft-sharing by a majority of all
employees, and many other equally
radical changes.
Do not laugh at this forecast. Think

CLOSE OF THE REVIVAL

Last nights service brought to a
close the greatest religious revival
ever experienced in the history OF
alexandria.
For four weeks a.. man OF God IN
the person of Gypsy Smith, IN, has
stood forth and, proclaimed to the
multitudes who have listened to him
nightly the unsearchable riches OF
the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ.
/ The interest manifested in the CAM
jpaien to win souls has exceeded the
| expectations of even the most en-
tIthusiastic church people and must
prove far reaching in elevating the
standard of living of many in this
old city. Indeed, to a large number
the place where the tent has stooc
will seem like hallowed ground, SC
far as relates to their own personal
experience and they will regret that
the meetings have closed.
Regarding the. revival and its Ell
fects both temporary and permanent
the Gazette will make further edi-
torial reference in a later issue. SUI
flee it to say here that it congratu-
lates. the clergymen, the laity. the
churches, and the city as a whole
uponSs the united, hearty support
given TO, the movement and also upon
the permanent good effect which we
believe will result to the entire COM

fault of yesterdays accident, wheth-

driver or of the child. But this We do
know: If more care is not exercised
there will be other and more serious

The man who does not consider
the human being as the States great

those who have known them. The
