George A. Milne, M.A. Religious Living. -(5) In this article, the final in the series on Religious Living, '1 wish to supplement certain features which were empltaaised in the preceding article. 1t is imperative that the young pe0pte of the rising generation: be made aware of the bitter evils of our civilization. Let us face Mal matter in a realistic way and loot straight at some of the evils that ought f0 weigh upon the consciences of Clu'istiat citizens. First of eft there are the economic evils, tyre fact that so many et our fellowmen have to live in material conditions which give their lives little ohance of being what human lives ought to be. Environment plays a mats( important part in the lives of men. Squalid housing oon- ditieee breed squalid people and afford a nursery for potential criminals, Then there is the vexing problem of unemployment which confronts us in major legree ]n every decade. All too often we see young fellows growing up flabby in mind and body because they have not been able to find suitable em- ployment after leaving school. As Christian citizen's we cannot shake off responsibility for all those evils. Christian citzenship has done much to mitigate such evils but a great deal still remains. The social evils constitute a major problems ins all ages. There is t1ha evil of intemperance, the evil wrought by strong drink. What should the attitude of a Christian citizen oe to the "temperance question"? It is a social evil of tremendous dimensions, ru1niug the homes and souls of hundreds of thousands. Surely every Ohristian citizen should face the question whether anything can be done tr, mitigate it, by legislation, by local reamer's, by counter -attractions, by personal example, by education, or in any outer way, at whatever cost of sacrifice to oneself. Another great social evil is gambling feel betting, and it presents a somewhat similar problem to that presented by the evil of strong drink.
