Smile and Hustle

Smile, and the world smiles with
you
KNOCK" and you go it alone:
For the cheerful grin
Will let you in
Where the "kicker" never known.
Growl, and the way looks dreary;
Laugh, and the path is bright;
For welcome smile
Brings sunshine, while
A frown shuts out the light.
Sigh, and you rake in" nothing,
Work, and the prize is won;
For the nervy man
With backbone can
By nothing be outdone.
Hustle! and fortune awaits you,
Shirkl and defeat is sure;
For there's no chance,
Of deliverance
For the chap who can't endure.
Sing, and the worlds harmonious,
Grumble, and things go wrong,
And all the time
You are out of rhyme
With the buy, bustling throng.
Kick, and there's trouble brewing
Whistle, and life is gay,
Like day in June,
And the clouds all melt away.
And the clouds all melt away.

mate, we, a nation of ninety millions
of people, with ten millions Of people
constantly underfed, under-clothed,
and without proper home surround
ings, pay $45O,O0O,O0O every year, in
time of peace, as tribute to the god of
war!
Think what immense strides the ma
ton would make if this sum were de-
voted to civilizing purposes. MANY
worthy young men and women in. the
United States pay their total annual
expenses in high-grade colleges and
universities with $3.50.
Our annual national expense of mill
tarism, $3.50, 100000 would pay the an
nual college expenses of 100000
young men and women; that ), is, of
nearly twelve times as many as there
were in the year ending June 80, 1908,
in the five hundred and seventy-three
colleges, universities and technology
cal schools in the United States"
"The total cost of militarism in the
United States for the fifteen and half
months ending June 80, 1909, was
greater than the total value of all the
books, libraries, lands, grounds, build
ings, furniture, scientific apparatus,
machinery, and all the endowments,
all the investments and "all produc-
tive funds" of all kinds belonging to
all our higher institutions of learning"
There is no end to the estimates
that could be made of the good that
could be done in so many different
ways with such an enormous sum of
money. But instead of doing these
things, our national legislators smile
at such propositions as visionary and
utopian, and proceed to demand a
larger appropriation for military pur-
poses. 1t is no wonder that the ma
tional government pleads poverty,

Tie results from target practice il
this country for the year 1907 and
1908 show that the average battery
hitting capacity has been rapidly in
creased. About sixteen times as many
hits were made in 1908 from the same
gun in a given. time, at the same
range as were made in 1900.
When we turn to machine guns the
capacity is horrible to contemplate
"If battery of modern Gattling
guns, 4 concealed, using smokeless
powder, located out of hearing mile
away or nearer and equipped with a
Maxim noiseless attachment, should
be trained upon a regiment-o men,
each gun pouring one thousand bull
lets per minute, (they have capacity
of three thousand per minute), into an
exposed regiment, the only observable
result would be this: the regiment
would melt, stricken by an unseen, IN
heard breath of death"
Il could give you many other details,
especially with reference to the mod
ern naval death dealing capacity, but
1 will spare you. The details I have
given already are too horrible. They
do not indicate a decrease in the death
rate from war in the very near future.
Let us turn now to consideration
Of the cost of war in dollars and
cents. The annual cost Of miltarism
in the United States, including the ex-
penses of the army and navy, the loss
of the producing power Of over 100000
picked men, pensions, interest on war
debt and other items, is in round num-
bers $3.50, 100000. This is a conserva-
tive figure. The New York World in
recent editorial estimates it at

1t is safe to say that the average
man of today is theoretically opposed
to war. And yet war is still with us.
1t still curses and scourges the ma
lions and levies heavy tribute upon
the life and industry of humanity. 1t
does this in spite of the theoretical
opposition of the average man, and
from all. appearances is likely to con-
tinue to do so until the average mans
theoretical opposition is converted in
to practical opposition. 1t is the
changing of opposition from theoreti-
cal to practical, it seems to me, that
can be the only excusable purpose OF
sermon on war. People tell me about
this question of war, as about many
other evils that inflict humanity today
Why every good man is opposed to

means. What has it meant to the civil
lized Christian world in recent his
tory, say in the last century? 1t is
estimated by reliable authorities that
in the hundred years from 1889 to 1889
there were killed actually in battle
in European and American wars alone
that is in wars between Christian
nations on1y-tWenty million men. 1t
is further estimated that conserva-
tive figure for the additional deaths,
over and above the normal death rate
of non-combatants during these wars,
is also twenty million. Forty millions
in the last Christian century! Four
hundred thousand lives sacrificed to
Mars every year of the most Christian
and most civilized century in history.
One human life extinguished as a di-
rect result of war every minute, and
twenty seconds, in Christian nations
during the whole of the most recent
Christian century. Almost murder a

they expect the deficient and brutal.
lied portion of the race to refrain from
murder, to have respect for human life
and regard it as sacred, when they set
such an example? Is there any hope
that this enormous murder is to
cease? There are indications that it
will increase in the future. Witness,
for example, with what enormous
strides the death dealing capacity of
modern armies has increased within
the last decade. Bullets fired from
rifles used in the American Civil War

in the world. George Washington, we
are told, was theoretically opposed to
slavery, and yet he was slave-hold-
er, coming to the point of practical
action only at his death, when. he
freed his slaves. Emperor, William,

The average man tells you he is OPP
posed to war, and with such great
men for examples, shoulders a rifle
and goes forth to kill other average
men, equally opposed to war. perhaps,
men whom he has never seen and
who he can have not the slightest
reason or desire to kill. And so war
continues to curse the world-con-
tinues to become more and more OF a
science-and instruments of death be-
come the only things in modern life
that are improved as rapidly as pos
sible. It is said that the telephone
used daily is toy beside what the
telephone might be if all the improve
ments actually invented and patent
ed already, and owned or controlled by
the telephone companies, were put in
use. And what is true of the teie-
| phone is true of many other branches
of PRODUCTIVE machinery. But the

tinues to be improved almost daily,
SO dead in earnest are the nations OF
the earth about the PRACTICAL side
of war. THEORETICALLY, war is
| opposed by everybody, but PRACTI-
CALLY, everybody is preparing for
war.
1t is for this reason that there
should be sermons against war-ser-
mons calling for practical opposition
in the name of religion. For religion
is intensely practical. It is PRACTI-
CAL service of God-it is PRACTI-
ECAL opposition to the enemies OF God.
Anything less is unworthy to be call
