motives and forms and objectives of
life. Standards are changing. A
deep seriousness is coming over the
mood of myriads. 1t Is not easy to
remain trivial-minded and thing
minded in day when all the old
values are being challenged, and an
entire civilization is being turned to

thoughtful persons gather, the talk
turns to the possible shape of

new world are we building, or pre-
pairing to build? No economic or
social theories are too fantastic to
come under serious discussion today.
Mans mind is in an increasing
ferment. We are all trying, more or
less vaguely, to appraise what is per-
manently and what is transitory;
what is essential and what is unes-
sential; what is worth living for,
and, If need be, worth dying for?

cool. More and more the problem
of a fair chance for all of child
hood is engaging our thoughts. The
widespread secularization of the
Lords day, the growth of the gam
bling spirit, the present use of in
roxicants, the popularity of filthy
literature-these all are getting in
creased public attention.
1t is clear to even a person with
half a mind that the brave new
world we covet can only come to
pass as we have brave new men and
women, themselves characterized by
the qualities which we seek in a
remade society. Public morale is
dependent upon private morals. In
this time of sincere heart-searching
we are called to consider anew the
effect of strong drink upon the
character of the Nation.
John Barleycorn's Anxious Friends.
Today's Pennsylvania newspapers
carry significant story. A COM
mittee of friends of John Barley
corn, originally organized to promote
repeal of prohibition, is out with
statement advocating the closing of
more than 5000 of the States liquor
shops. They see what promiscuous
drinking is doing to the younger
generation, and to society as a
whole. They fear an arousal of
public sentiment that may bring
back prohibition.
Indeed, a Gallup poll published a
few days ago reported that 80 per
cent Of the population of the United
States now favor a return to the
"dry" era.
To all clear thinking persons it IS
plain that we cannot have the new
order of which We dream so long
as the booze habit prevails. The one
simple, logical step is for the indi-
vidual to forego alcohol. If we are
a people who cannot subordinate
an appetite to a principle, then we
are not fit for a new sort of world.
We need to hear again the Bibles
stern injunctions Abstain from
every form of evil; and Woe unto
him that giveth his neighbor drink. "
Without fanaticism, or distortion
of relative values, all of us who seek
a better world must give ourselves
to championship of the temperance
cause, starting first with total per-
sonal abstinence All considerations
of patriotism, social responsibility
and Christian idealism constrain the
high-minded to enlist in this cru
SADIE for a shackle-freed world.
