STERN TIMES AHEAD

DEAN INGE'S ADVICE TO THE RICH.

Dean Inge, preaching in London recently, said: Tho common people in this country are dreaming of prosperity and high, wagos after the war. They do not reflect that thoro will bo no market for high-priced goods for very many years to come, either at home or abroad. There is a very firim time ahead of us that will test our national oharacter more soveroly than the war itself. The next thirty years will be a time of recuperation, of a storage of forcos. We must work out the great problem of education, end place the choicest treasures of our glorious, civilisation _ within the reaoh of all who can appreciate them. The- richer classes must realise that if they are to exist at all it can only be by continuing those habits of selfdenial which they have learned and practised so cheerfully during tho war. They will have to choose between simplifying their manner of life permanently and rather. drastically, or withdrawing altogether from the struggle for existence. It is their bounden duty not to set a standard of expending which is impossible to their class as a whole. They ought not to make things more difficult for the majority who will lose a quarter of their incomo, and probably a good deal more. All that is needed is to keep to the habit of. simpler living for tho sake of our country and our times. '
