Smsese— Oivilisation After the War. Edward Davies Schoonmaker, writing of “The Moral Failure ot Bificiercy,” sounds a new note in criticlsm of our civilisation. He deplets our soclal scheme as a train of two cars, puphed by an engine, and rushing to destruction. The first car is militarism, the second industrialism, and the engine is our educationa! system. It is his argument that militarism is the outgrowth of industrialism, and that industrialism flows from our eystem of education, and that the wreck of one will surely entall the destruction “‘efticiency” has falled because it is, paradoxi- cally, inefficient, Jacking in the moral element faculties and provides for his spiritual along with his material growth, It is interesting, too, that Mr. Schoonmaker does not confine bis accusation to any one race or nation. It has been quite fashionable of late to lay all the blame flowing from *‘efficienty” on Germany, because the Germans have proved themselves such capable exponents of the dogma of organization and preparation. Americans are included with the other enlightened nations of the world In the Indictment, and_must take their full share of responsibility, and pay in propor- tion as they have neglected the ethical to expand the practical in the possibilities of the race. Our educational practiée leads to industrialism, and this to militarism, whether we admit it or not, according to the syllogism presented. But Mr. Schoonmaker sees a worthier clvi- lisation arising; not a soclalistic state, nor an no way been Inconvenienced up to this time, feit the force of the mob's anger. hands full to protect the lives of resident Germans. The coslition government came in with a rush, Par- llamentary léaders no longer had to plead the cause of the nation's defenders, millions more were voted to the war budget without s dissenting voice vietims of the Lusitania did not dle in vain. They gave new life to England. It the detachment of the Hnglish was a surprise, the exaltation of the French was one no less.

It is the long lines of underground fortifications, the trenches, with their complete equipment for supplying the needs of men who must eat and sleep there as well as fight, their bomb-proof chambers and their endless barri- cading hedges of barbed wire, that add another rea- sonable doubt In regard to the possibilities of its being all over by October or November.

Tt might be pertinent upon the direct point to seriously consider wkether the health of the community, moral and physical, is not the entanglement in our immediate path and that the church might well center all of its energies upon this problem as the prevequisite to the next progressive step, but to linger upon this argument would not be falr to Christian Sclence inasmuch as healing the sick’is but incidental to the tullding of the perfect structure which is the end and aim of Christian Sclence. ‘Whlle the cure of disease attracts the » attention of the outside world both be- R o cause of the world's great need to he healeq of its diseases, as well as the radical departure In the methods em- ployed by Christian @Science, yet the thowsands who have been healed in Science testify that their physical healing is relatively unimportant compared to the mental awakening which has come from some understanding of what Paul meant when he said, 'For the law of the apirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death,™ and the writings of Mre.
