He quoted freely from his own knowledge of mining gained by many years experience.

These fronts include those involvâ€" ed in want and fear so often enumerâ€" ated as poverty, sickess, old age and unemployment. These can, to soms extent, be ‘alleviated by legislation, ahd mo doubt the measures now in force .or being put forward will ao much to improve the lot of the lower income groups. f But there are other fronts not SO easily relleved by legislation. Many are the evile which spring from the imperfection of human nature which constitute fronts on which we muss all fight. dil l1A AAV. These are the fronts of misfortuns and maladjustment, delinquency and crime, vice, viciousness and avarice. When we cease to war on thess fronts the enemy will rush in like a flood and no change of the economis system or beneficent legislation will keep us from ultimate destruction, ag complete as would have been the 1085 of the war, if the Home Front against these evils is not maintained with all our powers. Because of the strain of the, WAT years. and .. the. wondenful response which has been given toâ€"the war effort and to ‘all great forward, movements for sociat betterment: kecause the people are tired of regulations and restraints, and becausge human n@ture calls for relaxation, the Home Front is seriously threatened by eubtle sugâ€" gestions that strenugus_ efforts is no longer necessary and: now! we can let tHings take ‘their ‘cotitsd. " _ Nothing could be further from the truth than to say we have won all for which we fought. No! We have only won the right and the opportu:mâ€" ity to bring into being the kind of world we want. â€" The old world is dead, but the new world must yet be won. j h The Salvation Army stands in the forefront of the battle against thesse eviis.
