Our exlstance proves that we
have given consent to a sparing
Providence as regards our stay in
this world. The consent has not
altogether affected the stay, but
since ours has been the power to
prevent the stay, we have, at least
consented to a contin-

involves us IN eternal liabilities.
They come through opportunities,
advantages and privileges, result
ing in a budget responsibility. In
such an age as this these liabilities
rapidly multiply.
With the facilities at our com
'mand, it is a dreadful thing to
live in this day, Dreadful in the
sense Of accommodating moral la

But the liabilities accumulate.
not only trough the accessible ia
cilities, but partly through the
powers we possess, adapted to an
effective utilization Of these facil-
