MORAL REVIVAL WORLDS NEED,
 SAYS ASTOR

LONDON, Nov. 21 - World codes
 must be revived in conformity with the teachings of Christ, according to
 Viscount Astor, if Christianity is not to become failure.
 The world is disturbed by new points of view regarding the position
 of women, class distinction, the move
 ment against alcoholism, the relations
 of capital and labor, the brotherhood
 of man. Hosts of citizens are chal- longing these new advances, the Wis count said.
 America is now in the midst of a
 great moral struggle that may influ-
 ence the trend of Christianity, the Viscount said. America gave up in toxicants, but as with many a man who has done likewise, the American people are experiencing moral strug- gle as to whether or not they are able to carry out their resolution. The cause of Christianity must be affect
 ed one way or another by the result of this struggle.
 France is a drawback to the pro- gression of Christianity, the Viscount indicated.
 France" he says, seems often very materialistic. Women's outlook, which is usually more moral and spir- | itual than mans has but little influ- ence on French national policy. "Parisian life exemplifies too close ly the saying: Eat, drink and be
 merry, for tomorrow we die.' "On the whole French opinion, even in the provinces. considers man to be
 sensual animal, and expects the gov
 ernment to make unchastity as safe
 for him as possible"
 Throughout the world, as in France,
 temperance and chastity are chal-
 lenged, the Viscount said, but Chris ] tianity has not failed.
 "What the world needs now is fear less leadership and honest thinking. Democracy and Christianity have not | failed where and when they have been properly tried. Christianity has not 1 failed. It cannot have failed, because it has not been really tried, fully ap- piled and understood,
 Democracy is not wrong, because we are not yet able or willing to ap- ply the ideas of the brotherhood of man.
 There are indications of an awak-
 ening or resurrection from material ism, selfishness, self-indulgence and thoughfulness, the awakening of our
 common conscience on the traffic in women and children, on the deception of alcohol, on slums and war. "All these are hopeful signs that we are striving to arise out of mental satisfaction and out of mere. selfish l physical enjoyment and are indica-
 tions of vitality and progress
