e
It is time for Americans to
\
admit that the accident prob-
lem has reached a point where
it is a menace to the life and
property of every person and
' that the "prevention" methods
1 of the past have been failures.
1 The much-lauded solution by
I, compulsory insurance was
'found to increase accidents.
i
- rather than decrease them.
Insurance can only indemify.
-; It can never prevent. It is a
•j minor phase of the accident
t problem, not the crux.
' In most communities, traf
t lie laws are inadequate to meet
I modern conditions. Drivers
I
are licensed wholesale, usually
r without tests to determine
- their mental and physical fit
ness. The irresponsible and
i the reckless crowd on the high
ways of America has not gain
-1 ed a "highway safety consci
- oiisness."
i An insurance law. such as
' New York has adopted, which
) forces a motorist to prove fin
- ancial responsibility after he
* has caused an accident, or lose
- his license, places responsibil
- itv where it belongs, on the
- party at fault.
We must rid ourselves of the
4 reckless and ignorant and in
still the basic facts of safety in
the mirid of evtry driver and
pedestrian using the highways.

Iti that night was I'elshaz ir slain
j find I'al ius the Median took the king
dom.
The rhuldoan dynasty ended with
It'lshazzur. So we may interpret- this
whole scene as pointing to the condi
tions at the close of the times of the
j  lent lies, and as foreshadowing the.
; prevailing conditions. I.et us note:
1. The stupidity of men.
They, like people today, would not
lenrti I y example. Nebuchadnezzar's
fnte should have deterred Biilsljazzar
front slid, frivolity.
2. The magnificent splendor.
This great feast was characterized
I y pomp, display, parade. How char
acteristic of this age!
Luxury. The fan ous hanging gar- j
dens of ISabylon wire a noteworthy'
example. Signs of luxury to lay art i
oti t very hand.
4. The llcenlioiis-ness of t!.e king I
with his wives t.tid concuhim's.. I.i- I
rcfitiousness is notoriously prevolcnt ;
today.
fi. Blasphemous sacrilege.
Atid may not the sacrilege of today ;
lie. in excess of theirs, expressing it- \
self in (1) a profession of religion for W'
pecuniary gain, social and political
preferment; (-) use of the pulpit and
of the ministry for display and no- j
torlety, even for the propagation of k
false dQctrine; CI) union with the
church, attendance oji tlie communion,
so as to cover up secret sins; (4) the
use of (he Word of (Jod to give point
to a Joke; (Ji) denying that the Bible
is God's Word, making It a hook of
errors, myths and legends; (C) sneer- *
lag at the virgin birth, repudiating
('hirst's deity and setting aside His
vicarious atonement.
C. Drunken carousals. The hand
writing is on Ihe wall. God will not
endure this forever; His judgment
shall fall. Conditions in the world in
dicate that I lie time is drawing nenr.
