WHY NOT TRY CHRISTIANITY? p"

THE nation and Athenaeum of London, in re-
markabe article published recently, declares that
civilized man has everything he wants to make him
happy--love. pity, energy the sciences and the
arts Subduable earth and sublime religion" and
yet is rushing to ruin And how is the catastrophe
to be avoided?
"Here we are, English, Irish, French Germans,
Russians and Americans shpwrecked together and
liable to perish. The doctrine OF self-subsistence
will save none OF us; for what happens to Vienna
tomorrow may happen to Paris or London the week
or year after. The military or the more print
tive stocks might indeed, survive general crash OF
civilization But docs not always want to be
living the centuries over again The trouble is that
the imminent peril OF society remains unexplored
and almost unguessed by it. While man fears what
is really not fearful at a-the loss OF comfort or
The spread of the doctrine OF equality-he does not
dread the most horrible thing that could happen to
him, namely the loss OF all sense of unity OF the
human race"
Wherefore the writer proposes remarkahl,
remedy why not try Christanity; He insists
that the mere day-by-day observance OF the central
Christian precept which is the Golden Rule would
suffice to stop war, famine, plague and most social
diseases and to raise the whole western world to
unmaginable condition OF happiness beauty and
wealth Yet man, in his great time Of trial dis

impractical! Not so, the writer insists Chris
tianity as religious mystery may be impossible for
to agree upon but doctrine of life there
is nothing simpler

OF doing to others we would that they should
do to US forgivng the injuries that they have done
