He viewed this situation as le-
suit of dlsl egard of the Christian
injunction.
4 Envy, hatred, RIGHTEOUSNESS
greed, injustice" he said, can lead
to no other result, as We are find
ing at the present moment to our
sorrow"
"The present situation" the Bish-
NOp continued, "calls for nothing
less than a change in national char
acter-beginning with ourselves.
We are dealing with political and
economic conditions on a gigantic
'scale.
1.-The defiance of prohibition and
the Volstead act is but one OF the
many evidences of lawlessness. 1t
tis evident that this method of deal
ing with the great moral evil CT
drink and drunkenness is hardly
meeting with the results anticipat-
ed by its proponents. A large pro-
Is portion of our citizens feel no re-
sponsibility nor interest for it's en-
forcement, hold that it is an un-
iustifiable law and participate in an
illicit traffic which yields such enor-
nous profits that the business has
become definitely organized and bia-
family defiant
FlayS "LOYe for Money"
But even in this business an
other even more grievOus type OF
sin is displayed-that love of money
which is the root of all evil If
the profits were taken out of the
trade such action would strike at its
very heart.
This love of money shows itself
also in widespread political cOrrup-
ton, in types of speculation and
forms of legal gambling which help
ed among other things to bring on
the present economic confusion. 1t
is true tht church needs the support
- the country can give to its work,
but it is even more true that the
country needs the Gospel of Christ,
which the church holds in trust for
mankind"

youth is listless and Indifferent to

I'VE want to challenge youth to
the best that there is in life; to
help them to live by a few simple
truths" said Miss Phillips, who is
the daughter of the Rev. Zebarney
Phillips, chaplain of the U. S. SEN
ate, and rector of the Church of the
Epiphany, Washington, D. c.
Tells OF First Retreat
Miss Phillips told of having been,
virtually drafted to conduct re-
treat at the West Chester Teachers
College, West Chester, Pa. She said

tuition asked her to do it, remem-
bering her address there on an ear
lier occasion, and having had a
clergyman turn down their invita-
tiOn to hold the retreat. "Yes,
went" said Miss Phillips. 7

to stress the fundamentals in con- Y
facts with young people. She sug- i
