people shattered. The only Ideal that
we can stick to with immunity is
Christianity, which has proven itself
paramount throughout the ages since
its origin. BY the statement that we

QUEST|ONOF THE DAY
tBy r. VAN ALSTYNE)

The present day worldwide unrest
IS subject OF great consideration and
great possibilities, and is given much
thought by leading critics of interna-
tional diplomacy and affairs Of state.
The subject is being deeply considered
by all students Of science and philoso.
ply and some applicable solutions are
being studied by students OF reform,
utilitarianism, socialism and eugenics.
il is a great question and problem and
should be more deeply delved into by
the general public.
There are several theories as TO the
cause Of the great unrest that prevails
throughout the world today, both poll
teal and individual The theory Of
destiny, that the people are tired after
= long period Of warfare. which is ma
ture, the application Of the science Of
evolution, that It Is caused by heridi-
tary instincts OF the people as a whole
and some astrologists hold that all
things are brought about by the laws
Of the universe and space.
The theory that tine cause is destiny
ia very logical in It's conclusions be-
cause Of its application in conjunction
and conformity with the laws OF ma
ture. Destiny is an end to which the

gence they wished TO rest and not be
models OF conventionality, therefore
are easily led into any form Of politi-
cal environment that has promise Of
being OF any relief to their present con-
dition Of unrest. This should not be a
period OF rest or mental stanation, II
should be period OF thorough think
ing and thorough reasoning and people
should come to some understanding
on the greatest problem Of the times.
The theory OF evolution is one OF the
two main factors in the present world
situation and has some very logical
facts In Its favor. The real differ
ences Of the present problems are be-
tween theology and the church on one
side and the SCIENCE Of evolution on the
ether. II is predicted by some that the
science Of evolution and philosophy
will be the foundations and beliefs OF
the human race in the future. l he
leve that the battle for supremacy be
tween these two elements will be long
and hard fought, but that eventually
the Spirit Of Divine Right will asert
itself III the form OF Divine Revela-
ton by the hand Of the Supreme Being.
The human race should not be alto
gather materialistic, II should have at
least one Ideal and one Faith and that
should he christianity and the church.
The church has had many enemies and
antagonists since it's origin but has

the supreme faith Of its followers. l
believe that IL is the one Ideal that we
should all have and follow, because of
its stability, righteousness and sense

sciences.
