It will not be strange if in thove days Nihilisfs should arise, possessed with a frenzy of | destruction such 4s those alone can comprehend who have felt within themmelves the tightening clutch of spiritual death. To know that onc| cannot know, to be assured that no assurance is possible, will summon | them to a war against the spirit. | ‘Thus wrote a great thinker, many years ago, long before the clouds that lower over the world were anywhere to be seen. All will agree thet the work constituted an appallingly true prophecy. The state of mind predicted by the passage has arrived, and the con-| sequences, as foretold, are everywhere in evidence. Nibfliem is rampant the earth over. Humanity is mad, an@ like the) frighterazed horeo with the bit in its teeth, is running amuck, apparently | not caring where it is going so long as it is knocking things over and! destroying things generally. | ‘The explanation of this widespread frenzy is not far to seek. To tho! intelligent observer it is as clear as day. The old vision of things spiritual | is fading away, the old sense of moral responsibility and accountability is growing Weaker and weaker, and in the “clutch of spiritual death,” with that sign of “fruitless questioning” hanging over his horizon, man is strike | ing out right and left quite regardless of what he is destroying. | ‘The DESPAIR born of the negation of faith in the old deliverances of he soul has precipitated a saturnalia of violence, a wild scramble for tho contents of the flest-pots, without so much a# @ thought for anything | higher. The world-wide unchaining of the Brute that lies pent up in man ts| explained by the fact that to a much greater extent than many are aware of the feeling is growing that religion is the guess of a worm in the dust, and | that the world, including man, is merely a odtnbination of ether and atoms, | of matter and its forces. . i Millgnniums ago a great soul declared, “Where there is no VISION the | peuple peri 1." There is next to no vision now, and the perishing of the | people has . egun. I do not believe that it will be completed, for I do not believe that human nature can possibly be quite DEHUMANIZED. The pendulum may swing far to the dark side, but it will come back to the side where the | light is. Away down in its innermost depths humanity is divine, and sooner or later the divinity must assert itself. | Deep in the mind and heart of universal man is the conviction that | “life is more than meat and the body than raiment;” that righteougness and | love are morals that sym! i. the fundamental realities of the world, and that it te in the light of these great spiritual realities that we are to find the meaning of our existence here on this planet. | I am sure that humanity will “come back,” and. preaking through the | bars of the cage that has for so long confined it, will emerge into the wide spaces which #hall be bright and beautiful with the PRESENCE OF GOD, | Information for Parents The Home Care of School Children © help you bring up a healthy |be served warm or hot, and all the child, a few hints are given| meal should be eerved in an appetiz- here. ‘They showld be followed | '"§.\ With care you can teach a child to carefully.
