that if the railroads cannot, under
their present income, pay their eX-

Nor did this official attempt to as

How many men and women are
there who have devoted continuous
thought and a life-study 10 the causes
which make for and against mental
death in their own lives and in the
daily life of the individual through all
classes of the people? All that tends to
defeat spiritual death and rescue the
human from it should result in IN,
creased vitality for each Individual
who has mastered the underlying
causes which make for spiritual life
and health and eternity.
Where is the preacher today who IN
sistently, or even at all. teaches that
unless we are wholesome IN spirit we
cannot be healthy in body? This truth
was recognized and enforced by the
preachers and leaders OF former gen.
GRAFTON and also by the predecessors.
Our experience OF life has brought
home to us the truth, which IS con-
tinuously enforced by our intercourse
with our fellows. that the most import
ant Of all things to men and women
from the day Of adolescence onward
is a keen apprehension OF their spirit
ual nature. The spiritual side of the
human has a most vital effect upon the
well-being of man and woman. Those
who have the Spirit have life: those
who have never been aroused to the
existence of their spiritual nature as a
real living power anG source OF
strength and influence to men and
women, tend to be more and more an
iu.al in the sense that their thoughts,
their interests, their actions, their de,
sires, their ambitions, tneir aims and
outlook become restricted and CON

View tend to bring them the maxi
mum of earthly prosperity and TO give
them what is colloquially described as

WHEN THAT NIGHT COMES

loving. american life" asserted The
resolution, is marked in vulgar and
fragrant way by ostentatious luxury
and prodigal extravaganza, creating
false standards Of living and tending
to make more evident the cleavage
between rich and poor Much OF this
is true. 1t is a situation that has been
more or less provoked by the Euro-
mean war. We are encouraged to Sit
on this volcanic prosperity. without
realizing that it is bound to blow up,
by the Democratic administration We
are told to enjoy it without thought of
the morrow, or the reckoning that is
sure to come when war shall cease.
The resolution Of the Episcopal con-
yention recalls a familiar parable
spoken BY an "Authoritive Voice, and
bears an application today as it did
nearly two thousand years ago:
And he said unto them, Take heed,
and beware OF covetousness; for g. mans
life consistent not in the abundance OF
the things which he possesseth.
And ne spoke parable unto them,
saying. The ground OF q certain ricn
