even a casual glance at the pres

son, in part, reveals conditions of so
startling a nature that all must re-
alize the need of adopting a remedy
whereby these evils may be removed
On the one side there is boundless
wealth. pampered idleness, garish dis
other side, struggling poverty, end
less toll, nerve-racking cares and food
remnants from the scrap heap.
AN eminent authority assures us
that IS per cent of our people may be
classed as poor. inasmuch as they own
nothing beyond a little furniture and
q few personal possessions, and they
become the objects of charity in times
Of prolonged sickness. Fifteen per
cent of the people are only fairly COM
Portable, IS per cent are entirely COM
Portable, while 2 per cent of our peope
hold three-hfths of the country's
wealth. The people naturally feel
that there is something radically
wrong in our social organization
when such a condition gains a tight
hold on society"
There is one great force that can
and will adjust the social order. and
that is Christianity"
