BLESSINGS OF WAR
Peace at Any Price Has No Place in
Christianity

At the Central Presbyterian church Rev.
John R. Jones took his text from Psalm
xxxiii :3-"Bessed is the nation whose God
is the Lord The patriot and Christian
feels that the war confronting us is an
unselfish contest waged in behalf of a
downtrodden and oppressed people. The
sentiment that desires peace at any price
has no place in Christianity; 1t must be
peace at the right price. There are times
when the Christian man and the true pa
triot should cease to speak of the blessings
of peace and should talk of the blessings
of war. The present war should give us
confidence in our resources and high cour-
age as we go forth to fight.
We have drawn the sword because We
have felt the common tie of brotherhood
and will show to the world that the strong
cannot always oppress the weak. This
war will make us a stronger nation, hon
ored a: home and respected by all the ma
tions of the world. Our country will never
get over its revelation of itself in the late
war; men stod the test and came off more
than conquerors. The strength of coun
try is not in a great navy, large guns and
battleships and generals, but inj the man.
hood back of these and the Lord above all.
This war shall be a great blessing to
us as a nation and bring about
a peace that shall be peace indeed

because of the sin and imperfection OF
the human race. In Gods dealing with
the Jews through the Mosaic law 1t was
demonstrated that man cannot be saved
under the law because perfect obedience
to law is impossible; no man can attain to
perfection in this life. Therefore in the
time of mans great need, when he had
alienated himself from God through sin,
provision was made through Christ for his
forgiveness and reconciliation to God.
But while all men through the blood of
Christ may receive pardon. God has wisely
and justly set forth certain conditions
upon which forgiveness may be secured.
That the unconverted man may be brought
into harmony with the divine will, he
must experience three changes-a change
of mind, a change of heart and changed
relationship to God. By change of mind
man becomes conscious Of his sinful con-
dition and through faith accepts the doc
trines of Christian teaching necessary to
his salvation.
by a change of heart the sensibilities
are touched. The affections are so
changed as to lead to repentance. If the
heart of man is thoroughly changed he will
he led to reformation of life and conduct.
He will love only those things per-
tanning to purity and holiness. By
a changed relationship is meant
the taking of the final step that
shall bring him into harmony with the
divine nature and secure unto him the
blessing of eternal life. This is attained
only through obedience to the commands
of the gospel. A man may be penitent
sinner and faithful believer, but not until
he confesses his faith in Christ before men
and obeys him in the ordinance of baptism

ACCEPTABLE SERVICE
Christian Work Must Be Done in a
Whole-Hearted Manner

David Walk, in the Church of Christ on
Eighth street. near Central avenue, read
Psalm 80. directing attention to the first
three verses.
How blessed to know that anything we
do is acceptable to God. 1t lightens bur-
dens to know that they for whom We bear
them are pleased with our efforts. But the
assurance that God approves any special
service is unspeakably comforting to the
soul. A right spirit is an essential pre-
requisite to acceptable service. The lips
may utter thankful words while the heart
is unthankful.
First of all there must be preparation.
Musical instruments must be in tune. The
man who best understands his business is
most likely to succeed. 1t is no less true
that thorough preparation is necessary
in order to do successful Christian work.
God will not be satisfied with perfunctory
service, nor ought He to be. 1t would be
unkind to His children. Our labors and
sacrifices must be the best which we have
it in our power to render. The soul out of
tune is necessarily discordant. Right
moods do not come by chance. We may
expect them only in conformity to the
laws of divine service. We must be on time
and in tune. A single belated or inharmo-
NOUS instrument will throw a whole or
chestra out of tune.
To get benefit out of any service re-
quires that we shall put something into
it. The religious sponge is a heaviness.
A painted fire will warm no one. If we
would grow in grace, knowledge and use
fulness we must get down to business.
Gods service is reasonable. Impossibih
ties are not required, but we must do our
best. Christ said of a certain woman,
"She hath done what she could" Higher
praise than this cannot be bestowed.
