SEVEN PERuIs TO PROGRESS

This was the title of the address
given by Miss Grace Leigh Scott at
the meeting held at Rising Sun
Methodist Church April 23rd. A
large and appreciative audience
made up of representative people
from several other church groups
will carry the inspiration received
there back to their own communi-
ties. AS several asked me for list
of the seven perils l promised to
list them as l took them down. They
were as follows:
/. Wealth without work, Gamb-
ling and stealing; 2. Politics with
out principle, Need for Christian
Citizenship; 8. Industry without
morality, Revenue from liquor and
vice; 4. Science without Humanity,
Bombing and war; 5. Pleasure with
out conscience, "Wild Oats; 6.
knowledge without Character, Pris-
on inmates; z. Worship without sac
rifice, Religion only skin deep.
In explaining these various perils
to progress present tendencies in
the world today were recognized as
very definite causes for the sad
state of things today, and the need
for change before a much better
world can be brought into being
Miss Scott also spoke in the Per-
ryville and Rising Sun High Schools
stressing the need for the develop
ment of Christian Character.
