It le wot pleasant to prophesy, But it must be apparent to every of ignorance thinking mind that a continuance of this enormous tnitu qeust result in moral and social plague-spots all over the land. WOMAN'S INHUMANITY TO WOMEN Kvery time & convention of women reformers meeta some sort of @emand for a single moral standard of Judgment of the sexes is some- hew or other expressed, Now the mothers’ congress has been deploring that men are not fudged as women a ‘Thet a great wrong le done by the double must be apparent to everybody. But the omen themaeive wholty responsible cor the injustice that they sporadically #0 grievously condema, ‘They have long arrogated to themselves all censorshty of the vexual relations. They have taken up the seventh commandment as the polden rule of conduct and ‘onaguitied the guilt of ite violation so far beyond that of other rules of right living that the comparatively easy toler- qnte With Which men even of spotless lives look upon sexual sing te often urget againat them as o reproach.

The trouble t not that we have no uniform standard, but that we have no standard at all. MORE RACE SUICIDE There is constantly accruing evidence that President Roosevelt's fears regarding “race suicide” are not unfounded. Some striking statistics Bearing on the decline in the birth rate have fast been furnished th reports of New Jersey pastors of the Reformed church. ‘A pastor at Bergen, N. J., whose congregation te the oldest of that eiomination in the country and embraces many people of prominence, reports that the 407 families of his congregation had brought but 1) In- fants to be baptize’ during « year. Another pastor, with 160 families in his congregation, had baptised 47 infants, and one with 123 families had baptized but two. * “WPhe whole number of infant bantiams reported from seven Enatish speaking congregations, consprising 1,52) families, wae only 9, or one Infant to 16 families. In contrast to this was the report of the pastor of the Second church, tm which the services are conducted in German. His congregation com- prised 353 families, and he had baptized 156 infants. ‘Another German paster reported #1 baptiems fn 10¢ families, and the . average of the German speaking congregations was three baptiems te five families. It ls possible that the Germans are more prolific of offspring than ether people in this country, but the showing here made, while surpris- ing, ts not conctusive. Probably the Germans bring their children to baptinm than are thelr American co-retigioniate. Yet, after all due allowance has been made for « decline im faith, the Aecline of productiveness mugger ted by these figures is unmistakable. And now, since the decline in pro ductiveness among college graduates has been so generally accepted as Gue to education, must we conclude ine in the Reformed church ts due to religion? OUR NATIONAL SONGS Puptia of the New York public oota have presented to the pubtte @ few national byron, the first verse of which Is enough for the aver age American, With jingle and spirit both borrowed from “God Save the King.” it runs thus God save our president; In peace and sweet content His rule sh all be— Chief of this glorious land, Pianted by Pt grim hand.
