A Bishops VieiO

DIGIT REV. JAMES T.. FREEMAN.
IN bishop of Washington. from the
cathedral in which are inferred the remains
of Woodrow Wilson, has surveyed the
world today from his vantage point, and
gives fathers and mothers something TO
think about
The world in general is becoming bet
ter, the bishop finds, but the home in
particular is worse. He asks why the
home Is not keeping pace with commerce,
industry, science, and has this TO say
Our age has witnessed the breaking
down of conventions. the dissolution of ties
and obligations that were once regarded
as secure and sacred. II has been the
revolt of youth against old restrictions
and the larger liberty if not license of
those who refuse TO acknowledge author
ity, whether in home, classroom or the
larger sphere of social action; for now n
time has come TO mock at form.
There is evidently no limit TO our
search for independence and freedom of
action. Even laws imposed by constit-
tuted authority are Haunted and disobeyed
and this by the so-called best people in
our communities 1t is little wonder that
this is so, for laws win not be obeyed by
men and women who lack deep moral and
spiritual convictions. Lightly esteemed
and quickly dissolved are sacred marital
ties, where caprice of convenience dictates
the desirability of new associations and
larger freedom of action.
Where there are no such things as
parental obligations, where love interprets
itself in terms of lust, we can hardly
expect refinement and reverence in the
sensitive and initiative youth.
IF fathers and mothers think it clever
to evade or disobey wholesome conventions
or laws, if they make travesty of relig-
ion and disclose no reverence for sacred
things and institutions. if there is moth
ing holy, and no discipline nor restraints
are to be observed, except as leisure or
convenience dictates, where, in the name
of God and of all things decent, are we
ultimately to come?
"The problem of our time is not eco
nomic or racial; it is domestic and social.
1t is not superficial; it cuts clear thru to
the very footings of our boosted Christian
civilization"
