DR.. Charles l.. Candee, pastor of
Westminster Presbyterian Church,
Wilmington, on Sunday evening
addressed the second of the open
air meetings held on the steps of
Old College Hall under the
auspices of the Presbyterian
Church Of this town.
Congregational singing Of old
favorite hymns without accompani-
ment was followed by the reading
of Scriptural passages by DR.. w.
j. Rowan
DR.. Candee analyzed the solu-
tions offered by Socialism, Union
ism and the other agencies that
claim remedies for the social un-
rest prevalent at the present time.
He designated a return to pre-war
conditions in the commercial, social
and spiritual worlds as impossible
and undesirable. The remed-
les offered for stabilizing the so,
cial order leave out of account the
effects of sin, he said, and mans
personal responsibility toward his
fellowman:- A realization of this
the ideal Of universal brotherhood
the subordination Of self to th'
common good, and a spiritual re
generation are in the opinion o
the distinguished speaker, the solu
ton to the complex problems tha
confront this age.
