To the writer for the press who never
said that his contributions were

doesn’t think the girls are all dying
after him. To the young woman who
would not prefer a plate of ice cream

woman over thirty who never had an
offer. To the young lady graduate
who would not rather have a white

graduating exercises. To the married
woman who does not sometimes won
der how she ever came to say “yes”.
To the clergyman who doesn’t feel
just a little proud of the tears he calls
up at a funeral. To the car conductor
who does not take peculiar pleasure
in helping the ladies off his car. To
the doctor who has the hardihood to
tell a wealthy patient that nothing ails
him. To the boy of eighteen who
does not know more than h’s parents.

drew the long bow when dilating upon
his agricultural achievements. To the
widow who does not like to have her
mourning becoming. To the school

IS THE WORLD GROWING BET
TER?
Friends, have you not often heard
some pessimistic person sigh for the
good old times, and declare that the
world was growing worse every day?
Don’t believe them. This old world is
growing better all the time. The per
sons who think differently are looking
through short-sighted spectacles. They
spy the knots and rough places on the
tree of humanity and fail to look up
ward to its tcAvering top, ever growing
higher and spreading its branches to
the sunshine of Christian civilization.
In the so-called good old times, the
population of our country was scant,
there were no telegraphs, no cables,
no telephones to bring the news of all
the wide world happenings to our
knowledge through the newspapers.
All the crimes and tragedies the world
over are chronicled in glaring head
lines and the good deeds and noble
movements for reform are recounted
in brief paragraphs. So, it seems to
the unreflective reader that there are
lots of evil things taking place, and
the world must be growing worse. But
really statistics prove that in propor
tion to the population, crime is not half
as frequent as it was a century ago.
The spiritual and moral standard has
risen greatly higher. Mankind is
gentle, more merciful, more humane.
Charity is infinitely broader and more
active. In those “good old times”
there were no orphans’ Homes, no
homes for the old and decrepit and
the weak minded. There were no free
hospitals, no free schools. The asy
lums for the insane were horrible pris
ons where the lash and the chain and
the darkened cell with bread and wa
ter constituted the treatment.
As for the jails, they were dens of
shame and horror —where filth, gloom,
poisoned air and meagre food engen
dered disease and insanity. Starvation
and blows was the punishment for
prisoners who did not tamely submit.
In those days all rich men consumed
their wealth in selfish pleasures and
riotoua living. Now our millionaires
vie with each other in giving to noble
and worthy enterprises. Colleges and
libraries, free hospitals and charitable
institutions are built —and endowed
with their money. Industrial schools
and reformatories, Orphans’ Homes,
homes for the aged and destitute, and
for the fallen and the unfortunate are
everywhere. Sin still stalks abroad,
but whenever he sows an evil seed
Christian love follows and plants a
flower. Wherever poverty utters the
cry of distress, charity springs to its
aid. Wherever a longing for better
things holds out a hand of appeal like
a lilly struggling up through weeds or
mire it is grasped by the strong hand
of helping love.
And this 4 s daily increasing. The
factors for good are multiplying. The
white banner of love and mercy float
high above the blood red flags of ven
geance and wrong.
Ah yes, let us be of good cheer. The
world is growing better. We stand
on the threshold of the foretold mil
lennium. Science has given wings to
the body but the religion of love has
given wings to the soul.

TOO MUCH FOR FATHER.
My friend Jones, who is a univer
sity man, writes a correspondent, has
views on education. He determined
to teach his little son Freddie the al
phabet by a new method. The lesson
began thus:
“F for Freddie,” said the father.
“F for Freddie,” repeated the little
one.
“M for me,” said the father.
“M for you,” Freddie.
“No, Y for you,” said the father.
“No F for me,” said Freddie.
The lesson was then given up and
Jones intends to have the usual “A
was an archer,” etc. next time. —Man-
chester Guardian.
