Abstract

Mania in Los Angeles
Emmett, William | January 17, 1918 issue

It is a blot upon pages of the history. But from the point of view of intellectual progress, mental epidemics, such as are now sweeping over Los Angeles, California, are fraught with even greater danger. War hysteria has reached a height at which sane men must stand aghast. Press, pulpit, people and courts seem equally mad with war-frenzy. A handful of Christian ministers, mostly from the northern part of the State, being grieved at the continuous preaching of the gospel of hate, decided to hold at Long Beach a conference to emphasize a broader view of humanity and to attract other Christian ministers to a saner view of things.
