The Man OF Providence.

~ EEP in the hearts of many Americans
has been q feeling since the first an
nouncement Of President Wilson's
illness that it was not the purpose of an all
wise Providence for his work to be cut short
at this critical stage of Americas participa-
ton in world affairs. Indeed, there are many
who believe that Providence lifts up men to
meet every crisis; that leaders play part
Of infinitely greater Importance than alb
stract policies; that the hand of Providence
began to move in the Baltimore convention
seven years ago, when slowly but surely the
Wilson tide rose to he nomination mark.
Certain 1t is that THE Presidents admin
istration has been more eventful than any
since Lincoln. Prior to the war, when a
world upheaval was hardly dreamed Of he
assumed the leadership of the Nations af-
fairs at time when great problems of do
nestle concern were pressing for solution;
and with strong hand, unfaltering courage
and fars1ghted vision he guided the forces of
progress and Independent political thought
to the enactment of momentous legislation
Through the tortuous shoals of neutrality,
sometimes uncharted by precedent, he steer
ed the Nations course during nearly three
years of a world war that gradually en-
veloped civilization and forced Americas
entrance in spite Of the peaceful traditions
Of her people. Great though they were
Americas achievements IL preparation, in
the mobilization of her tremendous re-
sources, did not surpass the magnitude of
Woodrow Wilson's achievement in mobiliz-
ing American public opinion in support of
the war.
Today his crowning task remains I'M
finished Having, in the words of Senator
John Sharp Williams, expended energy, in
tellect and almost life in his labors for a
League of Nations to prevent future wars,
he is rewarded in the Senate of the United
States with courses and calumny." Slowly
hut Sura1v the tide of American Duhlic ODin-
ion in rising to support him, Trivial ques-
tons based upon bubbles over language of
the treaty are being brushed aside. Ere long
the demand for immediate ratification will
ring throughout the Nation with irresistible
emphasis.
In such a moment can it be the will of
Providence that such a world leader should
be halted in his task?

THE. FADING VlSION-By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory

precipitated a saturnalia of violence, a wild
scramble for the contents of the flesh-pOts,
without so much as a thought for anything
higher.
The worldwide Enchanting of the Brute
that lies pent up in mali is explained by the
fact that to much greater extent than many
are aware OF the feeling is growing that re-
ligiOn is the guess of worm in the dust, and
that the world, including man, is merely a
combination of ether and atoms, of matter
and its forces.
Millenniums ago a great soul declared,
'Where there is no VISION the people per-
ish." There is next to no vision now, and the
perishing of the. people has begun.
| do not believe that it will be completed,
for I do not believe that human nature can
lum may swing far to the dark side, but it
will come back to the side where the light is.
Away down in it's innermost depths human
ity is divine, and sooner or later the divinity
must assert itself.
Deep in the mind ana heart Of universal
man is the conviction that life is more than
meat and the body than raiment;" that right
eousness and love are morals that symbolic
the fundamental realities Of the world, and
that it is the light If these great spiritual
realities that we are to find The meaning of
our existence here on this planet.
| am sure that humanity will come back"
and, breaking through the bars of the cage
that has for so long confined it, will emerge
into the wide spaces which shall be bright
and beautiful with the PRESENCE OF GOD.

IFE will be unbearable with knowledge
that there is no more hope Of UNDER-


IL STANDING it, and that the sign OF
fruitless questioning hangs forever over the
horizon of man. 1t will not be strange il in
those days Nihilists should arise, possessed
with a frenzy of destruction such as those
alone can comprehend who have felt within
themselves the Tightening clutch of spiritual
death. To know that one cannot know, to be
assured that no assurance is possible, will
summon them to a war against the spirit.
Thus wrote great thinker, many years
ago, long before the LIQUIDS that lower over
the world were anywhere to be seen.
All will agree that work constituted an APP
pallingly true prophecy.
The state of mind predicted by the passage
has arrived and the consequences, as fore
told, are everywhere in evidence.
Nihilism is rampant the earth over. Human
ity is mad, and, like the fright-crazed horse
with the bit in its teeth, is running amuck,
apparently not caring where it is going so
long as it is knocking things over and Destroy
ing things generally.
The explanation of this widespread frenzy
is not far to seek. To the intelligent OBJ
server it is as clear as day. The old vision Of
things spiritual is fading away the old sense
Of moral responsibility and accountability is
growing weaker and weaker and in the
"clutch of spiritual DEATH, with that sign of
"fruitless questioning hanging over his
horizon, man is striking out right and left
quite regardless Of what he is destroying
The DESPAIR born of the negation of
faith in the old deliverances of the souI has
