Residents of Public Landing County

The lowly seaweed, washed fast to

may help to make the Campaign"
highly successful.
Many believe that our civilization
is breaking up, and that a new order
will replace the old. Rt. Rev. James
E. Freeman, D. D. of Washington,
says: eve are passing through one
of the gravest periods of all history.
A greater conspiracy of forces is ar
rayed against the Church than in 1900
years."
H. G. Wells writes: OBSTRUCTION
is not threatening our civilization; it
is happening to our civilization right
before our very eyes. The ship of
civilization is not going to sink in
five years or fifty years. It is sinking
now"
Paganism completes with Christian
lty Tor the conquest of the world. A
nation larger than our own is edu-
eating her youth in atheism. They are
attempting to "take God out of the
skies" and destroy the Christian
Church in all the lands.
At the same time the churches of
America are facing more and more
the empty pews. God is forgotten by
many of our nominal church men,
bers. Our young people are not being
trained into the life and the work of
the church. Non-church attendance
fosters the practical effects of athe-
ism.
Church attendance at the public
worship service is a symbol of peo-
pies awareness of God. The worship
service affords the collective oppor-
