nation is by his friends He has
chosen to embody himself in the lives
OF those who are his disciples. This
affords a high and holy reason to a
Christian man for doing great service
for his land and time; he thereby
bears Christ up to an additional place
of power.
Social betterment is the chief in
terest of formidable number of per-
sons. Some of them are college grad
yates and professors, and some are
workers in labor unions. Others live
in the college settlements in the con-
gested parts of great cities, while still
others preach from pulpits, write for
newspapers or conduct business on
lines designed for the common vel
fare. Sociology is becoming every
day more of a real science: and, still
more rapidly, an impulse in the
hearts of everyday people. The mag
azine called THE Survey" which
represents all branches of social serv-
ice, Is perhaps the most vital weekly
published in North America. To a
remarkable extent, Christian leaders
are identifying themselves with social
service The trend this way Is steadily
increasing This spirit is Of piece
with the restlessness which Is felt
throughout the national life: the in
scrutable Spirit of Jesus is at work up
on the hearts of men to teach them
his principle of brotherliness.
A nation dominated by the ideals OF
Jesus is an integral part of the King
dom of Heaven.
do not know how q man can be a
Christian and an American, and des-
pair.-Phillips Brooks.
The high price of food is not so
grave national problem as the low
cost Of life.
Any nation is in grave peril when a
large body of it's people have lost the
capacity or desire to undergo sacrifice
for the sake of the common welfare OF
the historic national ideals.
Every victory for temperance is 4
victory for Christ, Every victory for
world interest and self-subordination
thereto, is a victory for Christ. Every
victory for morality. the sanctity OF
the home, and the elevation of popular
| literature is a victory for Christ. In q
word the cause of Christ is ineXtricab-
| ly bound up with all causes of good
There is no truth and Justice and be-
nevolence in all the earth that he does
not minister directly to the Kingdom
| of Heaven.
Public spirit Is as much Christian
duty as private devotions.
| When Christ's reien has fully come
then will be answered the poets pray

Petty politicians bent on their tup'
penny personal plans are a blight up
on every nation. But statesmen, high
souled, broad minded. self-forgettins
are a nations strength and safety
Somehow the Spirit of Jesus in TIN
hearts of men has always made 70
Ilargeness and liberty. Only that sam
Spirit, working through the friends o
Christ, can deliver a nation from TIN
bane of small politics and raise up {
| generation of statesmen.

THE NEW PATRIOTISM.
Terse Comments Upon the Christian
Endeavor Topic for February 27,
"christ Winning Our Nation"
Luke 1O:1-t7,
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

Because most OF us ere not accus-
toned to thinking in large terms, we
give only a partial Interpretation to
the developments Of our own times.
We say that the Big Brother Move
ment means o new soiicitude for the
boy of the street: we seldom stop to
think that it has any relation to the II
repressible agitation for better child
labor laws We talk and write about
the progress of temperance sentiment
in the land, but never once link it up
TO the Brotherhood idea or the
Laymen's Missionary Movement.
Whenever an organized Christian
movement or the presence of we'll
known evangelist affords the oppor,
tunity we see the people pouring out
TO meetings in great throngs. Yet, aft,
Ell all these many activities are but
symptoms of one common spirit that
is stirring the depths of the natures OF
the thoughtful people of our time. A
cropping sense of the supremacy OF
altruism, of fraternity of ethical stand
ards, of spirituality Is really what all
these forms of interest represent.
new mood of idealism has come ovel
| the world. Men are striving after the
| higher good. They desire once more tt
erect for the state and for all society
the long neglected standards of Jesus
! There is a real and profound sense II
which Christ Is winning the nations
The new patriotism Is applied Chris
tianity.
