WORLD UNREST.

(To the Edivor.J Sir,—Lloyd George koes to the heart of the matter when he states that the Christian Church alone can save mankind from anarchy of will and aim. The Great War will have been fought in vain if Christian leaders cannot create that “atmosphere” of yvhich ■'Mr. ■Lloyd George speaks. In a really soul-satisfying atmosphere secular idealism will wiKier and die; while the alturistic spirit of Christianity, grows rapidly. 'Sectarian distrust and a feather-bed conception of the personal sacrifice necessary to remove the boulders of sin from the onward highway of humanity' gives the peoples of many lands the impression that in asking the churches for bread they receive a stone. In God's Own Country we should be capable of creating a satisfactory atmosphere. The modem mind is very plastic. Leadership of a high, and* holy order can give it a proper sense -of 'direction. Why are our church leaders so profoundly conservative about the establishment of precedents. The founder of their faith created many precedents especially, in the Temple, , Our war zone Y.M.C.A. c.vea,ted on iexcellefit tetinossphere of practical Christianity. Always making smooth the path to duty, and often death, the Y.M.C.A. established precedents which should become a re,al and vital force.in solving the thorny problems of our first war, social and economic troubles. ‘Overseas the Y.M.O.A, bought and sold, ran pictures and plays and “buckshee stunts.” J+ established a new era in aoniied Christianity. , World unrest will be with us so long as wo worship the Golden Calf. From the Stock Exchange to church bazaars.' via the racecourse, from the buying and celling the earth,' and all the good and material it produces for human corn fori and convenience, the selfishness of iiarraclongli’s Progandra quickly cures Corns. ,1/6 everywhere.
