"Will Civilization Stand?"
The following extracts from a sermon preached by
R,. v I). A. I'etty, pastor of the Methodist Church
Sunday morning. have great significance, because the
subject "Will Civilization Stand," is one full of world
concern and will summarises the subject.
Mr I'ttty punted out modern' conveniences, indus
try education, and government as typiqil of twen
tieth/century civilization. He said in part:
•"'Will Civilization Stand?' is no idle question.
Thinking people everywhere are asking it. frive lead
ing English historians four years ago s|>ent several
months together in asembling all the facts and in
answering this question. . I'hey concluded that it can
not stand without a means of transforming the hearts
of men. - " * / A
The greatest danger menacing our age is the abuse
of the achievements of science. Mastery over the
forces of nature has placed in the hands of twentieth
century man powers that he is not prepared to exer
'cise. General Swinton of the British Army has said
'We have developed germs which can be dropped on
aimies and cities so that it is now possible to blot out
H nation in iF»lay.' _

1 "Thomas Edison said, 'There is no way of prevent-
ing a flotilla of airplanes flying over London tomor
row and spreading a gas that would poison its millions
in three hours.' When Napoleon marched on Mos
cow he traveled at the rate of four miles a day. When
Nelson sailed in search of the Frsncif fleet he sailed
five miles an hour. Our slowest airplanes travel a
hundred miles an hour. Our fast ones make two hun
dred miles an hour. Science has opened two new
empires to the modern man—the empire of the air
by the flying machine, and the empire of the corners
of the s£a»by the submarine.
" The gern?s discovered by science may be used by „
the medical profession to save life, or by a war-mad
nation to destroy millions. The things that make our
civilization may be turned to destroy mankind. It
was done for the Greek nation; for the Romans; and
for the Germans.
"Here is where the Christian church comes in.
I'nless the development of Christian and moral! char
acter catches up with the development of scientific
endeavor, humanity will destroy itself. Dr. Charles
£. Jefferson says, 'lf the church doesn't end war, man
will end the church.' If the Christian church of the
world so preaches tnd teaches Jesus Christ as to change
the he:»rts of people, the achievements of science will
be used to heighten our civilization. Thre is no con
flict lie l wee if science and religion. Science gives laws
and facts. Religion, gives interpretations and values
of those laws and facts. Jesus -Christ can save our
civilization. Hut 'There is none other name under
heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.' "

Modern Woman
Is the modern woman responsible with as much of
the modern trouble as she is charged? What is gen
erally designated as the modern woman is not the
young painted,. silly, vain, flapper, because there is
hope for such. But the modern woman is the one
who puts the iron heel on the husband's neck and
challenges his liberties to speak or to spend for him
self. Sift' governs with the iron hand at home and
forces-her husband to s|>end beyond his capacity, and
frequent)) drives him to-thp j>enitentiary or to suicide.
Site spuds the day sleeping and lounging while the
husband works, and the children, if by chance there
are children, warn around in the care of a nurse who
does not teach them the things they should know. And
then when it comes time for the husband and children
to get thai needed rest and sleep, many of the modern
women are just getitng their eyes open, ready for the
night' clubs of various and sundry kinds—generally
good, but sometimes good. T
The modern woman is" contributing to the down
fall of the modern girl and boy, because they are lead
ing ilu-m on into paths that frequently lead to trouble.

"Nearly everything I ate caused a

My neck glands were gainful and swol
len. and rheumatism settled in my
shoulders and limbs all the way down
So my ankles. My liver was sluggish,
and I was almost continually taking
laxatives. I commenced taking Sar
gon and I could feel its strengthening

finished my second bottle, my diges
