 "Thut man behind me has been whistling to attract my attention for five minutes" she said. "I wish you would stop it."
 Much to her amazement the police man laughed unrestrainedly. He pointed with his hand to a window opposite the Hanson Place Baptist church and there sat the culprit, winking and W histling away.

THE WORLDS GREAT NEED.

It requires no argument to prove that there is a real and immediate danger of being overcome of evil. All over the world we have been warned since the war against moral reaction and spiritual letdown. The aftermath of the world war has revealed the depth and danger of the world shock. There are unn1is- takable evidences, national, racial, industrial, and religious jealousies and antagonisms. There are unmis- takable evidences of recklessness, extravaganza, lawlessness, and vic iousness. Free and easy manners, vulgar plays, picture shows, dances i; brutal public behavior; coarse and offensive books; and in the individ- ual, either moral lassitude or else disregard of human decency and divine control, are signs of resur- gence of evils which, if we do not re- sist them, will mean a tidal wave of evil already apparently set in mo- tion by the evil one himself. If we lie down, or if we drift like dumb, driven cattle, our latter postwar state will be worse than our former pre-war state, and every expelled devil will return with seven others more devilish than himself.
 The danger is that we shall be betrayed into trying to overcome evil with evil and to fight the devil with fire. This is the short and easy method---meeting hate with hate, cruelty, cunning with cunning, force with force. From the angle of war it would mean standing armies, com petitive armaments, huge navies, and ? militarism raised to the nth power From the angle of international re- lotion it would mean, instead of a League of Nations or any covenant of peace-desiring peoples, the old discredited secret diplomacy, the old discords and distrusts. From the angle of industrialism it would mean labor and capital fighting tooth and nail; strikes and injunctions; re- bellions and repressions. In genera society it would mean renewed re. 1igious hatreds; class antagonism racial distinctions sharpened anc deepened; law and order openly defed.
 To seek to overcome evil witE evil, to act as if two wrongs made z right, to drop back into the old con tentions and confusions, might bt the easiest way, but it is the deviP' way of ultimate spiritual death. is the moral abdication of civilized society. It is a shameful confession of religious inaptitude. It is infam! to the dead who died for the world betterment. It is, in the long ant final results, the suicide of all civili zation.
 Above all others we American seem to be called to exemplify ; better method---not < to overcome evil with evil, but to overcome evi
