We referred, not long ago, to what Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, society leader in New York, said regarding the classes in America. She feels that the salvation of the country lies in the fact that we have a great middle class—a sane, sensible, unprejudiced middle class—who can solve our problems for us if they will. But as things are going now, the middle class is fast vanishing, and men are taking sides one way or the other between the two classes. Mrs. Fish also sees another great danger, and that is that the country is almost without standards. They have departed from God’s great standard—His holy law. She also spoke of the low, bestial dances which are coming into society. She was asked if she had noticed that they had changed. “Have I?” she replied, “I should say I have,—these wretched, vulgar dances. This ‘turkey trot’ business which I have seen during the last winter is too disgusting for words. It only shows that our whole country is becoming materialistic and vulgarized.” She said further that she remembered—and “I am not a very old woman—when to be invited to certain great houses in New York was a social privilege and an honor. To-day,” she says, “there isn’t a house in New York which means anything in a great, social way. The same laxity and vulgarity has been brought about through the popularizing of divorce. Young girls marry and trip lightly into the ‘tie that binds’ with a sense of liberty which can be theirs if they choose, and change their minds after marriage.” But what disturbed her most is the bitter class feeling which exists, and which should be bridged over. She feels, and doubtless there is ground for her feeling, that it is not the servant class that must jump at the call of their mistress. She says, “The servant does not seem to appreciate that while they must jump at the ring of the bell, all of us must jump to the rings of our bells.” What a sad thing it is, isn’t it, that there should be such voluntary slavery? How much better, and how much happier were the old-time conditions, when there was more of equality between mistress and maid, and master and man! Sadder still when, as it largely exists in America, the dividing line is mere dollars and cents. To-morrow it may happen that the mistress is the maid, and the maid may be the mistress, not because of real merit or character, but because of the stamp of the dollar. It is a blessed thing, however, to reflect that we all have the privilege of that far better and higher society, to be counted sons and daughters of God, not because of wealth, but because of character, and that not of ourselves, but through the Giver, the Lord Jesus Christ.
