UNDER the above caption, the Christian Evangelist has the following paragraphs:
"Does civilization promote crime? All the love of Christianity in us arises to protest such an accusation. But the facts are startling and demand explanation. It will doubtless be found, not in civilization, but in some of the flaws involved in the civilizing process. Christianity must seek to account for the amazing increase in crime in the United States. It is not a political and police problem so much as it is a moral problem. The churches need to be interested quite as much as the government.
"Fifty years ago there was only one criminal to every 1,647 of our population. To-day there is one to every 300 of our people. We have in our penitentiaries to-day more than 10,000 murderers, and we convict far from all of them. The homicides have grown two and one half times as rapidly as our population. Chicago averages twenty times as many murders per thousand as does London, and Chicago's
average is little above the average for the cities of the nation. Strange to say, the Southern cities have the worst records, their average being three times that of the foreign-filled Eastern cities. This may be due to colored population, but the fact that Middle and Western cities are twice as bad as Eastern makes it appear that murder is more an American than a foreign crime. Increase of petty crimes is due to the foreign populations. They are guilty of from three to four times as many minor offenses, with the exception of burglary, as are native-born folk. It must be said in justice to them, however, that it is their children who are mostly guilty.
"Where is the fault? One half of all crimes are committed by those under twenty-five years of age, and three fourths of them by those under thirty, the great majority of them boys. Over against these appalling facts are the counter facts that there are few boys and young men of those ages in our churches. Our Sunday-schools lose them when they come to adolescence. Experienced judges are telling us that it is the rarest occurrence to find a young person before the bar of justice who is either in church on in Sunday-school. If old methods have failed here, new ones must be found. The churches can find a way. The means to use are not sacred,
In the upper row the table of showbread, the ark of the covenant, and the golden seven-branched candlestick; in the lower row the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering, and the laver but the lives to be saved are sacred. There is no hope for these young men except in religious education.
FURNITURE OF THE SANCTUARY
"The sensational newspaper acts like an intoxicant to the excitement-loving nature of youth. The public school puts all emphasis on fitting a man to contest the world. The children of the foreign-born break away from the old country restraints, and mistake the liberty of the new land of freedom for license. The moving-picture scenes of crime and revelry multiply the 'Diamond Dick' novel's deadly influence by ten in their direct appeal to imagination. The church must fill the breach and counteract the anti-social influences that educate criminals."
These conditions in society will grow worse and worse, and then the tendency and the temptation of the churches will be to unite for the enactment of human laws to correct evils that can only be corrected by divine power. We have frequently pointed out, in these columns, the prophecies which show that these times are to witness a great world-wide religious federation. The papal power will be a leading factor therein in this country, and will be the dominant influence in the Old World. But when that federation is accomplished, it will be a man-made scheme to do a work that can only be done through the simple teaching of a pure gospel, under the administration of God's Spirit, and witnessed to by His power.
God's word presents the remedy that His church is to use for these evils, and that remedy is the gospel preached under the promise that "ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1:8.
The one thing for the church to do is to seek that purity of life and that divine righteousness which will open the channels for the display of this mighty power; and wherever that is done, the preaching of the gospel will be attended with results to-day just as much as it has ever been. The trouble with so many is that they have a tame message, the central thought of which is to entertain the hearer or the reader, rather than to arouse him to his sinful condition and lead him to call for the only salvation that is offered to the sons and daughters of men. T.
Heresy and the Ministry
UNION SEMINARY, the Literary Digest of June 14 says, is "regarded as a very hotbed of heresy." We are told further that as the New York Presbytery is largely recruited from its graduating classes, they do not escape the same suspicion. The controversy includes such questions as: "Did Christ have virgin birth? Did He rise from the dead in bodily form? Did Lazarus rise? What part of the Bible is to be believed, and what not?" It is not now under the General Presbytery — it is out; but the New York Presbytery is endeavoring to force it in. But whether the seminary itself shall be taken in bodily or not, or whether the request shall be shelved, as it was at the last meeting of the presbytery at Atlanta, the graduates of Union Theological Seminary are continually presenting their credentials before the body of the presbytery.
Recently four graduates were accepted by the New York Presbytery. Some of them could form no definite opinions concerning the virgin birth of Christ, the authenticity of the Pentateuch, the canonical standing of the Gospel according to St. John, and the resurrection. Among these is Tertius Van Dyke, son of the Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke. Dr. Van Dyke defends the boys, and tells the assembly if they want a heresy trial, they should try it on a grown man, and not on eager-hearted, sensitive boys. Among other things he said: "Whatever comes of the protest, I wish to take my stand with these young men. They are my brothers in the faith. If they are unfit for the ministry, I am unfit."
Dr. Francis C. Montfort, editor of the Cincinnati Herald and Presbyter, denounced "the Baal of Hindu philosophy" as enthroned in Union Seminary, and called on the church to choose between that philosophy and the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Literary Digest says that "he is practically the only one we can find to quote on this side." He declared: "The time has come for the church to draw the line. The issue lies between true faith and Hindu philosophy masquerading under the guise of Christianity. Here is a Hindu philosophy in a modern theological school. Shall we allow this to continue?"
But it does continue, and it is leavening more and more the entire Christian church. The real issue lies not between two schools of Christian thought, but between Christianity and infidelity.
OF VITAL IMPORT
Physiologic Signs of the Times
By George Thomason, M.D.
"For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now; . . . even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body."
PROBABLY never before, in the history of the world, has it been so emphatically true that the whole creation groans under the weight of physical distress and wo. And this universal physical decay carries with it the evidence of a most important sign of the times. The decadence of spirituality in the last days, as illustrated in the Saviour's words, "When the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?" finds its counterpart in the physical condition of men, indicating the positive necessity, from a physical standpoint, that the great day of God should hasten greatly, and also that "except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved."
Important to Emphasize
It is becoming increasingly more and more important to emphasize the physiologic signs of the times, as it is evidently the studied purpose of the devil to blind men's eyes to the evidence of these things. Just as the "peace and safety" cry is abroad everywhere, to lure men into a false sense of security as to their spiritual condition, so we hear on every side, that the world is growing better physically; that the average span of human life is lengthening; that man is triumphing over disease and death. But this security is
Only Apparent and Not Real
Men have triumphed over the decimating plagues of smallpox, cholera, and allied scourges. The emphasizing of hygienic principles and the enforcement of improved sanitary laws, the discovery of the immunizing principle and serum treatment of various diseases, the marvelously great surgical triumphs of recent years, have all certainly contributed to the saving of a countless number of human lives. There has also, undoubtedly, been a great decrease in infant mortality. These things have combined to produce a slight increase in the average length of human life — enough to persuade the casual observer that there is an improvement in the general physical condition of man. But in the light of a more searching investigation of the subject, there is no justification for this optimism. While there has been a great decrease in the devastating plagues of a few years ago, there has been a corresponding increase in the diseases due to subtle tissue changes in the vital organs, which are infinitely more significant, in that they are the results of dissipation, and erroneous and artificial habits of living, in response to the temptations of the great deceiver, and a furtherance of his purpose to destroy the image of God in man.
Lessening of Infant Mortality
The sparing of a large number of infants that, under previously prevailing conditions, would have died, contributes in no small measure to the apparent lengthening of the average human life. But this in itself may constitute a menace to the human race, in that in a sense it nullifies the principle of the "survival of the fittest," and preserves alive many who are weighted down with physical infirmities and deficiencies that will later be transmitted in an exaggerated form to their children. As has been pointed out by Professor Cunningham, testifying before the Committee on Physical Deterioration, in England, "There can be little doubt that the addition of these to the population must have tended to lower the general physical average of the people." The preservation of the physically unfit, while humane and altruistic, nevertheless constitutes11a menace to the human race, in contributing mightily toward further and increasingly more rapid deterioration.
Fewer Old Men
The real and convincing evidence of the increasing physical resistance of the race is not in the number of its individuals that are spared to live, but in the ACTUAL and RELATIVE number of those who attain to old age. Statistics gleaned from all civilized countries indicate a steady falling off in the number of persons attaining to even fifty years of age. As Frederick L. Hoffmann has expressed it: "There is, of course, no question whatever that the American death-rate, using the term in a very comprehensive sense, has substantially declined within the last fifty years; but it is equally evident that this decline has been at the younger ages, and not during the period of life which, economically, is of the greatest value. There is no doubt that the mortality of adult ages is still decidedly excessive."
The vital statistics of Massachusetts show a great increase in the number of deaths of men over forty years of age; that is, that the deaths of old men have increased much faster than the number of old men during the same period. The report of the registrar-general of England shows great improvement in the mortality rate of children, but the death-rate over thirty years of age has greatly increased.
The number of centenarians in various civilized countries has markedly decreased. In this country, at the present time, there are four thousand centenarians, or one in twenty-five thousand of the hundred million people. In France, there is only one person in every one hundred and ninety thousand who is a hundred years of age; in England, only one in two hundred thousand; and in Germany, one in seven hundred thousand. It is a significant fact that in Bulgaria, where the habits of life are simple, there are three thousand centenarians among only three millions of people, or one centenarian in every one thousand people, seven hundred times as many as among their neighbors in Germany. It was this fact that led Metchnikoff to study the habits of the Bulgarian peasants as to their diet, in ascertaining the probable explanation of their greater average longevity.
The Great White Plague
Further evidence of race degeneracy becomes only too apparent as we look a little deeper into the subject. It is with the greatest satisfaction that we note some decrease in the number of deaths from tuberculosis; but it is still the "great white plague." Nearly five hundred people die in this country every day of this awful scourge, a total of one hundred and fifty thousand every year. Five hundred thousand people in the United States are constantly suffering of this disease. More than seventy thousand persons die in England of this same affliction every year. Two out of every three of these cases could be easily prevented by ordinary attention to an improvement of the natural vital resistance.
Scourge of Cancer
Cancer, the very name of which strikes terror to the heart, is increasing at an appalling rate in spite of the tremendous efforts made to stay its progress. Probably more men in the scientific world are to-day engaged in an attempt to discover the cause and cure of cancer than is the case with all other diseases combined. A few years ago an eminent surgeon stated that if cancer increased during the next ten years as it had during the previous ten, there would be more deaths caused by cancer than by any other disease. This prophecy is fast approaching fulfilment. More than seventy thousand people died of cancer in this country last year. It is now estimated that one in every seven women over the age of thirty-five, and one man in every eleven over the age of thirty-five, will die of cancer. This is a disease of civilization, being practically unknown among uncivilized nations. It has increased five hundred per cent during the last fifty years; and it is estimated that in this country not less than three hundred thousand people constantly are suffering of this terrible malady.
Heart-Disease
During the past ten years, the mortality from heart-disease has increased over fifty per cent in this country. The report of the United States Census Bureau shows that the mortality from arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the blood-vessels, during the past ten years, has increased nearly two hundred and fifty per cent; or in other words, more than three times as many people die in this country of diseases of the blood-vessels to-day as ten years ago. "A man is as old as his arteries," and the earlier age at which this condition is occurring is indicative of increasing physical degeneracy and premature old age. Authenticated cases are now on record of pipe-stem arteries in patients only twenty and twenty-five years of age.
Other Diseases
Bright's disease of the kidneys, a disease of degeneracy, shows an increase of a hundred and thirty-one per cent in the United States during the past ten years. Diabetes, a disease principally associated with degenerative changes in the liver, has increased fifty per cent during the past ten years. Pneumonia, which is responsible for eleven per cent, or about a hundred and fifty thousand, of the deaths in the United States annually, while a germ disease, preys especially upon alcoholic and otherwise debilitated persons, and therefore may be classed among the diseases of degeneracy.
The Great Red Plague
Venereal disease, aptly called the "great red plague," is more and more gnawing at the vitals of the human family, and is responsible for greatly augmenting the tide of moral and physical degeneracy. Diseases of immorality are not only responsible for degenerative changes in the bodies of those directly infected, but the hereditary taint is transmitted to the family of the victim. Neisser, the distinguished German authority, states as his opinion that "fully seventy-five per cent of the adult male population contract gonorrhea, and fifteen per cent have syphilis." Other eminent authorities give even higher percentages than these. Noted specialists in gynecologic disease, estimate that seventy-five to ninety per cent of the operations they perform are directly due to gonorrheal infection. Dr. Prince Morrow says that the number of syphilitics in the United States has been estimated at two million. This is probably a very conservative estimate. This disease is not only in itself a danger, but it also causes a great number of diseases of the circulatory and nervous system. Dr. Morrow says that the extermination of social disease would probably mean the elimination of one half of our institutions for defectives. The loss of citizens to the state from the paralyzing influence of gonorrhea upon the procreative energy of the family and the blighting effects of syphilis upon the offspring, are enormous. In the opinion of very competent judges, social diseases constitute the most powerful of all factors in the degeneracy and depopulation of the world.
Increase of Insanity
Insanity, indicating brain degeneracy, has increased in this country more than three hundred per cent during the last fifty years.
There are now three hundred thousand insane persons in the United States, confined in asylums, and a hundred and thirty-five thousand in England and Wales. Dr. Forbes Winslow, one of the greatest of the world's authorities on mental disease, recently stated in a public address that in his opinion the entire race is destined to become insane. In New York State alone there are thirty-three thousand insane persons confined in asylums, or more than double the number there were in 1890. This represents an increase of more than one hundred per cent in twenty years; while the population of the same state during this period has increased only fifty-two per cent. There are at least half as many more people outside of asylums who are more or less mentally defective. In addition to this great army of insane, there is also a great army of imbeciles in this country, numbering not less than three hundred thousand. In England and Wales there are a hundred and twenty-five thousand feeble-minded children, confined in institutions for this class of patients, and eighty-five thousand of these are physically as well as mentally crippled. The New York Bureau of Municipal Research reports a careful examination of fifteen hundred school children in New York City, of which ninety per cent were found to be defective either mentally, physically, or both. Examinations in other large cities give results very similar. No restriction is placed upon the intermarriage of these defective classes, and they in turn reproduce families more degenerate than themselves, and in much greater numbers than the families of the mentally strong. This in itself is a constantly increasing menace to the race, an absolutely certain physiological sign of the times, and an indication of the positive necessity for the soon coming of Christ.

Aged Preachers in Germany
THE shamefully inadequate provision made for the support of the aged ministers of the gospel of most denominations in this country is in marked contrast to the superb provision made for them in Germany. There, it is stated, the young minister gets a minimum salary, usually $500, and a parsonage. This salary is increased every few years until, at sixty-five, the minister, even if he has changed his parish, receives $2,500, the largest compensation permissible, to which is to be added the use of the parsonage and certain fees given him. At sixty-five the minister can withdraw on a pension if he shall so elect, or if the parish shall so desire. Or he can continue, by general consent, five years longer. On withdrawing, he receives as a pension for the rest of his life two thirds of his last and highest salary. On his death, his widow receives an adequate pension for the remainder of her days, and also each of her children until their sixteenth or eighteenth year.—The Christian Herald.
Ice for the Poor
A New York paper points out what is certainly true,—that the city, and most large cities too, can supply beautiful drives and bridle-paths and speedways free for the rich, but O, how little it does for the poor! It asks why ice, in this fearfully hot summer, can not be given to the poor, if all these things are given free to the rich. The parks are kept beautiful with fine highways for those that have automobiles, but the children and the women are driven from the lawns, that their beauty may not be spoiled for the automobile owners; and then it declares that the city could not spend even $50,000 to give—not free, mind you, but at a fair price—the ice that means salvation to a sick child in summer, that means one cruel tax of a trust taken from the necessities of the very poor. It is these things which cause discontent.
Innocent Enemies
By Adelaide D. Wellman
By Adelaide D. Wellman
"CHILDREN, take every one of those weeds to the kitchen and put them into the stove. Be sure that not one escapes."
"Weeds! Why do you call them weeds, papa? They are flowers, and they are pretty!"
"You would not think them pretty if you had seen the harm they can do."
"What harm can they do, papa? They are not poisonous, are they?"
"No, they are not poisonous; but—"
"And they have no thorns."
"True; yet they are very objectionable, because they simply take the land."
Mr. West had never seemed to grudge ground for any play-gardening that his children wished to do; hence they were reasonably surprised that he should object to giving space for the showy plants they had brought from a remote nook they had found when on a jaunt that day.
"They wouldn't take much room," urged one of the girls.
"Ah, you don't understand! In a few years they would take the whole farm, if they were allowed to grow."
Then the father explained that those magenta blossoms stood for many ruined acres in that genial climate, whither they had been brought as ornamental plants. In the colder country from which they came, they had been inoffensive annuals; but the milder clime had permitted them to live through the winter, and multiply with disastrous rapidity.
What the old-time garden digitalis, or foxglove, is to Oregon, and what the carefully nurtured lantana of Eastern hothouses is to certain tropic regions, such are divers habits to the lives in which they take root.
Said an intellectual young woman: "The reading of these books does not harm me, because I read them in a critical spirit, for the very purpose of discriminating between their sound features and their unsound. Certainly impressionable young people ought not to read any of them except such as are recommended by persons of discernment. But in my position, it is desirable that one be informed regarding the current literature." Sequel: Those objectionable books "took the land"—took invaluable time and invaluable mental vigor from a young life that would have yielded far better if not thus sapped.
"Ho, ho! This is harmless diversion!" declared a young man, when an acquaintance expressed scruples about joining in a pastime. And it was harmless, in the sense that it did not tend directly to the gambling-table or the race-track; but to say no more for a diversion than that it is harmless, is to "damn with faint praise." What "takes the land" is a pest, unless it returns commensurate value.
"I do not wear my clothes tight!" insists almost every individual whose feet, body, throat, or hands, are unduly restricted. These persons refuse to recognize the fact that their members not only should not be compressed, but should have room to expand. Likewise minds and morals need more than protection from aggressive injury; they need every aid to development.
Beware of "harmless" diversions, which dissipate mental vigor or spiritual life. Beware of social customs that restrict development.

My Experience in Story-Telling
By William McCormick
William McCormick in "S. S. Times"
ONE Sunday evening in the early fall, several years ago, I told stories to a group of boys. There were about fifteen in the crowd. They were nearly all lads who worked for wages; typical working boys, I suppose, from typical working men's families. Not poor families, you will understand. They were not neglected lads, in the usual understanding of that term. It was a Sunday evening, and all of them bore some evidence of Sunday sprucing up,—in red necktie, or celluloid collar, or signs of a hand-washing before breakfast.
They had come in groups of two or three from different parts of the town. The groups were practically unknown to each other, and the boys were unknown to me save for an acquaintance formed a few days previous. I had asked them if they liked to hear stories, and said I would tell them some if they came round of a Sunday evening.
So much for the personnel of my group. As to my stories, I started off with Elijah and his sevenfold prayer. I began with a little misgiving, in the fear that the story would fall flat because it was too well known to be really entertaining. I prefaced it with a warning that the boys who knew it should not give away the "plot" before I reached the end. Then I plunged in. The warning was useless. The story took me fifteen minutes in the telling, perhaps, and I never in my life saw a more eager audience. They listened almost breathless to the very end. Then I asked if none of them had ever heard it before. Not one. And they clamored for more.
The next story I prefaced with the same trite warning; for this one had been so familiar to me from my babbling childhood, that I could not see how it could be unfamiliar to any one. It was the story of the three boys in the fiery furnace.
There was no relaxing of interest here. They listened through to the end, if possible with wider eyes than before. Had any of them ever heard it? I asked, as they were digesting impressions. No, they hadn't; not one of them.
I was marveling a little now. I asked them how many went to Sunday-school. Their hands were promptly upraised. I would experiment on that. The day's Sunday-school lesson had been "The Crossing of the Jordan." I briefly told the tale of it, and I asked then if any of them had ever heard it. They hadn't, they said, except two, who rather thought perhaps they had. They weren't quite sure. They had been at Sunday-school that afternoon, I learned. The others hadn't. They frankly admitted that they had been hunting chestnuts.
But as to the Jordan story. I had not told the name of the people's leader, and I asked if any one knew it. Nobody did, including the aforesaid two. I gave a hint then. It began with "J," I said. That made it promptly easy. "It was Jesus!" they shouted, almost in chorus.
I told them stories often after that. The listeners varied sometimes in personnel and intelligence. They never varied in attention, and they never embarrassed me by too profound knowledge. I relaxed my fear and relinquished my apology. It was no longer necessary to suggest that somebody might have heard this before. They never had. Whether it was the world drowned with a flood, or a fleeing woman turned into a pillar of salt, or a father about to sacrifice his son, it was all novel and strange and wonderful to this Sunday evening group.
I had almost exhausted my resources at last, and had to half apologize for what was coming now; for it was the time-worn story of Daniel and the lions. But only one hand went up when I asked who had heard that before. He was an unattached orphan, without a home. He said he "seen it in a picture oncet." He had never heard or read the story. He had just looked at the picture and imagined the rest.
Now here was the germ of an idea. It seemed to me worth cultivating. I nurtured it, and let it grow.
Believe and Climb
By Optimist
It was growing dark in the old barn; and to the child straying in out of the fading afternoon light, it looked more shadowy still. But some one was moving about in the hay overhead, and the little fellow came to the foot of the ladder and called: "Is you up there, grandpa? I want to come up." "All right, come along then," was the cheery response. But the little foot placed on the bottom of the ladder paused, and a troubled face was lifted toward the dim loft. "Grandpa, I can't see the top step." A reassuring laugh answered: "Put your foot on the round where you are, little man, and climb up. The last step is here, and you'll see it when you get to it." It was only the old lesson that we all need over and over again — the faithless cry we are always sending out to be allowed to see the end from the beginning; and the answer that in one way and another, by inspiration, by experience, is always coming to us: Climb from where you are. Take the step that is next above you, and wait for the one beyond to be revealed in its time. Believe and climb.

Helping Together
THERE are constantly coming to this office requests for this paper for those who are poor and unable to take the paper; (2) for mission work among prisoners and others otherwise confined or secluded; (3) for public reading-rooms; (4) for general missionary work in foreign fields by our missionaries; (5) for general missionary work in various phases. Sometimes there are calls for tracts in foreign languages as well as English. It is not possible for the publishing house to meet all these requests. Publications are sometimes published at a loss to the house.
We felt sure that many more of our readers would be glad to help us in this work. Thus may we bring together those who have no time or opportunity to do missionary work, but who are able to help others, and those who have the time and opportunity, but not the means. Who will contribute to our Coöperation Fund?
