By OwUlfj rr«*. Boston, July IT.—Former President Woodrow Wilson, writing under the caption, " The Road Away From Rtv olution," for the August number of the Atlantic Monthly, issues a note of warning that our civilisation cannot survive materially unless it bsN re deemed spiritually. "In these dreadful and anxious days when all the world Is at unrest and. look which way you may. the road ahead seems darkened by shadows which portend dangers of many kinds. It is," says the one who com manded the ship of state during the! world war, "only common prudence that we should look about us and at tempt to assess the causes of dis tress and the most likely means of removing them." Then avoiding the partisan as he analyzes the existing state of Amer . an civilization, the writer goes briefly to the root of the matter by making essentially what is a religious appeal for n tauter understanding be tween "the haves" and "have nots.’’ "Heal ground for the universal un rest." he asserts, “lies deep at the source of the spiritual life of our time and leads to revolution." The cause of the Russian revolu tion. which he calls the outstanding event of its kind in our agv. was. in Ills view, a systematic denial to the great bodv of Russians of the rights and privileges which all normal men deaire and must have if they are to he contented and w ithin reach of hap piness." What his this to do With Aster i,-a? It w is against capitalism,” he declares, "that the Russian leaders directed their attack, and it is against capitalism tinder one name or an other that tile discontented classes everywhere draw their Indictment." "The toad that leads away from revolution is clearly marked, for It Is defined by the nature of men and of organised society. It therefore h* hoot eg tts to study very carefully and very candidly the exact nature of the task and the means of its tic contplishnu nt.' The sum of the whole matter is this, tlint our clvlllantlon cannot survive materially unless It l>o redeemed spiritually. Here is the final challenge to our churches, to our politli :il organisation and to our capitalists—to everyone who fenrs Hod or loves his country."
