The indications are that Sunday, Oe-
tober 4, will be more generally observ-
ed in one common motive and accord
ing to one universal program than any
Sunday America ever knew.
The exercises will have to do with
war and peace. and they are held in
accordance with the recommendation
of President Wilson, who named the
day in response. to q request emanating
from the federal council of churches.
Protestants. Catholics and Jews an
nounce their purpose to observe the
day.
The plans more favored than others.
and especially among Protestants and
Jews, is the decoration of the interior
of churches with the colors of the eight
nations engaged in the war. Belgium
and Japan being included. There Is,
therefore, careful avoidance OF favor
itism.

Share With Friends.

This rule does not apply solely or
even principally to those WHO are al
lied by the ties of friendship.
The worlds rule is 'Iove thy neigh
Dor and hate thine enemy; but God
says Love your enemies, bless them
that curse you, do good to them that
hate you and pray for them which de-
spitefully use you and prosecute you;
that they may be the children of your
Father which is in heaven; for He
tnaketh His sun to rise on the evil and
on the good. and sendeth rain on the
just and the unjust"
There is no merit or just claim for

To give to those from whom you ex-

We should share our blessings with
our friends. We are usually more will
ling and less likely to forget the obli-
cation of so doing. But even with
friends there is more danger of not
remembering than of not being willing.
In the case of strangers, and espe-
cially enemies, the Willingness is often
absent. even when the remembrance
of our duty is present.
