WAR AND THE GOSPEL

The eyes of the world are turned to-
wards Japan and Korea. The latter has
igu. ed more prominently in the newspa-
pcrs during the past few months than IL
had done through all its history besides.
Great events. pregnant with consequences
to the world, are being enacted in and
about Korea, with Japan as the principal
actor. What the final outcome of it all
will be no one can tell. This much we
know, however that the war in the east.
and the attendant awakening. have a vital
relation to the cause of Christianity. Now
doors are being burst open by wars
mailed fist for the, advent of the gospel.
Four nations are being turned toward Il
consideration of tho consultations of rclig-
ion by the wake of disaster and death
which has followed the armies and their
conflicts. Whether the east shall be dom
mated by the civilization and liberty of
he west or whether it shall he subject
to the dominance of bigotry. ignorance
and tyranny is one of the greatest issues
to be determined by the war. Therefore
the Christian should read his daily paper
in the light of the welfare of the kingdom
of heaven, and he should pray daily that
out of the clash of arms. out of the shock
of battle, and out of the devastation and
death which are fruits of war may emerge
the glory and rogross of the cross of
Christ.
The y. NJ. c.. A. in Japan, in co-opcra-
| ton with the missionaries. is doing an ex-
tensiye work in supplying sailors and sol
diers with Christian litera ture. More than
one Japanese hero has been found dead
with a priced copy of the scriptures in his
| possession.
1t may be in the east today as Il has
often been in the past that the bloody
track of war IS but a highway for the
swift progress of. the Primo of Peace.
The standing thai native Christians
nave acquired in Japan is. evidenced by
the fact tina the military authorities re-
auire that none but Christians .hall act as
interpreters to the foreign war CORE
spondents.
"a nation in a day" is almost being re-
peated in the cage OF Korea. The native

The coming celebration of st. Pat

one Of the most interesting and enter
tanning that has ever taken place here
in honor of Erin's patron saint. The
programme that has been arranged by
the executive committee is a varied
one. and while not long fits the occa-
sion admirably.
There will be a wide departure from
religious services this year. The com
mittee decided to hold a celebration of
mirth and merriment, and allow the
Irish people to observe the religious
part of the occasion as they saw fit.
Nor viii there be any official grafton at
the exercises. Michael Casey. chairman

and that will be all.

Until this time arrives Margaret Pat

the programme should prove to be ar
tistic as we'll as interesting. It contains
six numbers, and all those who are to
appear are we'll known in this city and
elsewhere as entertainers of ability.
One Of the features of the programme
to be given at the Presidio grounds in
the afternoon is the fancy Irish dances
by the well-known instructor, John J.
OConnor. OConnor is member of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, Knights
