be Judged at the last day. TO those who
have been brought to a knowledge Of God,
have accepted his word and have given
obedience to his divine requirements are
the words of the Scripture especially d.
rected. Much has ever been said concern
ing the duty Of man to God, but too little
emphasis has been placed upon the duty
Of man to man. AS Christ came into the
world not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, SO are Christians to minister to
the needs Of those about them. The
standard Of our acceptance at the judg-
ment seat is based upon our service to hu-
manity. Whoever is in need Of help and
sympathy is our brother. whether in posi-
tons of power and influence or in the
humblest walks of life.
''Thus Is Christianity in Its broadcast
sense an active, vital force in human af
fairs, as adapted to the greatest needs of
the human soul. In this world of sin and
temptation there are abundant oppor-
tunities for doing good. Caring for the
poor, comforting the sorrowing, encourag
ing those who have aspirations for the
higher and holier things of life is the
srandest service in which one can engage
And whether we, as Christians, have done
this shall be the test at the last day ofour
into eternal joys.
IF we have fulfilled the requirements of
the divine law, great shall be our reward.
We shall be heirs and joint heirs with
Christ of the riches and glories God has
In store for US. At his second coming we
shall enter into possession of these pleas
ures, and shall dwell with him in the place
that he has prepared for US from the foun-
dalton of the world"

OUR NATIONS DEFENSE
Lecture at Brotherhood Hall by Alb.
bolt Clark

The subject of the Theosophical lecture
at Brotherhood hall, 525 West Fifth street.
yesterday morning was "Our Nations De-
fense." Abbott Clark, after speaking of
our great need of defense against our
selves, and the duty which we owe to our
nation to keep strong, pure and true, said
in addition:
1.-THE dangers which threaten our nation
most are: First, the degradation and I'M
spiritual condition of men and women; sec
ond, the lack of home life; third, selfish
ness and materialism in our edu-
cation fourth, the low standard
Of club life and bigotry Of relig-
ion; fifth, the sensationalism of the press;
sixth, the filth and corruption Of our poll
tics; seventh, the dangers of war.
"Our nation can never fall by any out
ward foe, but the foe within, the vice and
immortality of present civilization is men,
ace to the nations welfare. Just as Greece,
India and Rome fell through internal cor
ruption, so is that our enemy today.
1.-THE only defense of nation is the love
purity and divinity Of womanhood and
manhood; the sancti.y Of home: liberal ed
ucation; fearless reform in church and So
ciety; the publication of the press AMI hon
esty of the ballot, which would elevate tile
thoughts, lives and ideals Of the people
which would develop among them leaders
and teachers of he race with unselfish
motives, spiritual wisdom and heroic pow
ers."
