SPIRITUAL VITALITY.
The modern world, says Christopher Oawson in the "Dublin Review," has .lore power than any previous age, but it has used its power for destruction as much as for life; it has more wealth, and yet we are in the throes of a vast economic crisis; it has more knowledge, and yet all our knowledge seems powerlees to help us. What our civilisation lacks is not power and wealth and knowledge, but spiritual vitality, and, unless it is possible to secure that, nothing can save us from the fate that overtook the civilisation of classical antiquity, and so many other civilisation* that were brilliant and powerful in their day.
