The New Crusade

To-day growing interest insreligion is evil
dent all over the world according to recent
editorial by William Allen White, in the Emporia,
Kan, Gazette. Three years ago, when the pres
ent world war had been in progress but few
months and many people had been discussing the
real causes of the war, an Emporia business man
who reads outside of business hours and thinks
much of what he reads, said: believe this war
has been brought about by neglected Jesus
Christ.
Men are stopping to think, even in the midst
of turmoil, and a great change is evident in the
ordinary mans conception of religion. Some of
it is constructive thinking that does not sub
scribe blindy to creed and dogma, but which is
working out higher meaning for religious faith
and a greater sense of religious obligation than
this world has ever known.
Evidences of this thinking are frequent. The
man who signs himself Wow Populi,' and Con
slant Readers and sends communications to his
newspaper is discussing his conceptions of relig-
ion and his own discovery of personal religion.
Fathers of American boys with the coors are TAX
ing time from their own affairs to reason upon
the beginnings of this and the spiritual state
Of the world. In England, where almost every
home has lost son, books are being written in
this new field by men who are masters of other
provinces of learning and all of them get back to
the basic principle that universal neglect of the
teachings of Jesus Christ has something to do
with this war.
There new thinkers all reconcile Christianity
with the war because Christianity is democratic.
They are arguing, as they write their newspaper
communications and magazine articles, that a
world in sympathy with the teachings of Jesus
Christ would never have suffered the great tester
of Prussian cruelty to grow unchecked until it be-
came world menace. And they realize that the
physical as well as the moral forces of evil,
THAT is why there is no blasphemy when the
youth of England and the youth of America
march off to war singing Onward, Christian
Soldiersr"
Mr. White has just returned from visit to
the front for the American Red Cross His words
are apropos to the campaign now on among the
churches to contribute to the spiritual prepared
ness of the American Army by sending the Chris
tian Testament into the trenches. American
Bible Week deserves the support of every
thoughtful, patriotic citizen-American Bible
Society.

The United States Food Administration Says

There is no royal road to food conservation.
We can only accomplish this by the voluntary ac-
ton of our whole people, each element in proper
ton to its means. 1t is matter Of equality of
burden; a matter of minute saving and substitu-
ton at every point in the 100000 kitchens, on
the 100000 dinner tables, and in the 100000
manufacturing, wholesale, and retail establish
ments of the country.
Food saving is in it's essence the daily indi-
vldual service of all the people. Every group can
substitute, and the great majority of thrifty
people can save a little-and the more luxurious
elements of the population can, by reduction to
simple living, save much. This means more
than that we should eat plenty, but wisely and
without waste.

TWO VIEWS OF BOARD

Should Be Assisted.

In view Of the general interest in the
board Of health's order prohibiting certain
public gatherings i'll this state the differ

New York Judge relative to the question
are worthy Of comment
Superior Judge Stanley c. Wilson of
Vermont dissolved an injunction which
had been secured against the Barre board
of health restraining the board from en-
forcing its order against the sale of ice
cream and sodas in Barre drug stores to
be consumed on the premises. United
States Judge c. j. Hough of New York
dissolved an injunction against the state
board of health secured by the Com
munity Chautauqua, the board having for
hidden the holding of Chautauquas.
In the Barre case Judge Wilson, while
dissolvlng the Injunction, said he believed
the board had for some time used It's
powers arbitrarily and he cautioned the
board not to issue too sweeping orders
and intimated that it had gone step fur
ther than it ought in this instance, ac
cording to the reports Of the hearing, sent
out from Montpelier
