MENDING THE WORLD

PRIMATE'S PRESCRIPTION. (Special to "Star.”) CHRISTCHURCH, July 26. "For God’s sake, kecqi out of the newspapers, and go and bring in bait a dozen souls to Christ,” concluded Archbishop Julius, at the Y.M.v.A. Business Men’s luncheon to-day, wnen he gave an address on "How to Mend the World.” He said that he believed there was no mending of the world needed, but the work tnat was left was the keeping of righteousness. The business of those who felt good was to spread the influence of righteousness. Politicians, prohibitionists, and socialists all came .md said that if their theories were put into practice, the millennium would come but nobody believed them. He referred to the teachings of Jesus Christ and of Socrates which show ed that they had to deal with the individual and not the masses. Ninetenths of our work, the work that got into the newspapers, was worth very little but the going out and getting a fellow brother to the service of God was what counted. This was the work that did not die. The whole world was influenced by such work as that. To many the question seemed hopeless, but to him it was most hopeful. Psychology was the study to which we had given our minds of late years. It took no expensive apparatus like other sciences which were also of great value, but it was a study which brought an understanding of human nature.
