~Lovs" was the subject of the I'D.
dress by the Rev. }, Howard Melish
In the noonday Lentsn service In the
Miles thsstsr. Thursday. Some ex.
tracts follow:
Love 10 the society- making virtue.
II II that In the heart OF boy or girl
which draws them together and leads
I them TO break tea that bound them
since hatyhood and set out upon an
unknown voyage fraught with risk
and danger. II IL that In the heart
soe 3 young man or young woman
which looks upon their child with I'M
atterable yearning. which makes the
woman on occasion as fierce a. t.
arees and the man ~ strong as = lion,
witch helps them both to endure mis-.
cry and face insuperable obstacles
with courage. It 10 that In the hearts
OF men and wonlsn OF different famt
lies which leads them to recognize In
others. not OF their blood, q fraternity
exceedingly real. II inspires friend
ship and makes possible comradeship
N some noble enterprise. 1t Is that
feeling in the hearts OF innumerable
people for the nation that leads them
ON occasion to lay down life itself
that the nation might live. II is that
n the hearts OF men and women
which crosses all national boundaries,
overcomes racial antag0nisms. sees in
other men born brother man, and
~ child Of God.
I'm emphasizing love the Apostle
Paul gives the key to every modern
social problem, and In fact. the true
golution Of all the problems Of life.
What II II but love that John Ora
ham Brooks has In mind In his study
Of syndicalism when he says the sta
illity Of social welfare must forever
depend upon the eveR wider and more
Intelligent good will OF every class
and condition Of men," Or that Lin.
coin had when he said with malice
toward none. with charity for all, let
us do the right as we are given power
TO see the right Call 1t good will
or call II love, II IL that power within
the heart OF men which will unite en-
pl0yer and employee. the piece-worker
and the worker, the skilled and
the unskilled. the upper and the low
or class, the immigrant and the ma
tive born, In q great social unity.

but Il enables men to find the cure.
Two men who love each other may
lind 4 dimcult to adjust their de-
cisions, but love finds way. Two
groups OF men who have the good Will
may ind hard to agree, but they viii
agree. Two nations which love each
other may have all the so-called justi-
fications Of war but they will beat
their swords into plow shares and
submit their cases to arbitration.
what we need In modern life, in
every work and condition, IL men and
women who will show their fellows
the more excellent way. Our sys.
TENS may be wrong but only love will
right them; our policies may be fool
ish, but only love will correct them.
Men there are today who believe that
class hatred will ultimately abolish
I'll CLASSES. Foolish men. you are
c0wing the wind and will surely reap
the Whiylwind. Violence breeds vio-
,ence and can breed nothing else.
Would you stir up Q revolution that
shall really change the earth into the
l,ingdom OF God? Then preach love
and practice It. There ID nothing so
revolutionary. Hope may lead you to
.emove mountains, faith may help
you TO put all foes under your feet
but only love will help you take your
enemies by the hand and go with
them into the Kingdom of good will
and enduring peace.
what every right-minded man
wants, what the church desires IN its
