There is reckoning yet to pay
So cry the opposing nations in the
great war. Each looks forward to a
judgment day, when the nations will
sit in conclave and apportion out pen
alties and rewards. Now. blinded by
the red rage of wa, none of the war
ring peoples can see clearly or Judge
fairly: some day the inevitable just
verdict Of history will be written.
AS with nations, SO with human
lives. For three months past the
Sunday schools have been studying
the majestic truth, so difficult to
grasp, that the day of reckoning and
of clear judgments is coming. Jesus
stressed this teaching of judgment
days Of his ministry. His utterances
were those of judge, and this pres

International Lesson Committee.

Like all other truths with which
He dealt Jesus made this one per-

streams from the Judgment Seat
After the War Is Over.
The dispatches are filed with con-
hicting stories concerning the armies
and their conduct. No one can be
certain Of the full truth now. But
after the war IL over, 1t will all be
revealed. Then the glory or shame
or both commingled-of the contest
ants will stand clear for all mems
reading.
That truth, also. lies in these les
sons on the judgment. However
much we may deceive ourselves or one
another. in the present life, the day
of perfect revelation Is coming;
wherein for an endless eternity our
true nature will stand revealed. to

why the light Of the judgment day is

When Pooh Pooled Principles Prevail
One spectacular phase Of the closing
days Of earthly ministry Of Jesus was
the way In which the crowd, from
the temple officials down to the street

radical Rabbi from Nazareth; where
as. as all the world now knows, they
were being judged by Him.

ing Is a passion and an equipment for
service. To minister to our generation
Is a worthy life goal. Whoever does
that is missionary. And to be a mis-
sionary Of the Cross Is one best way OF
fulfilling this purpose. For the mis-
deepest. most varied and most abiding
ways.
A friend, a young business man. told
me last night that he systematically
devotes two evenings Of every week to
and wife and little children make
strong claims upon him. and he quite
as systematically gives most Of his
hours away from business to them.
With that same elaboration, every
Christian should assume some definite
woodwork of the gospel. Ones duty
is by no means done when one has
prayed for missions and made a contri-
button. These are varied ways-rang-
ing from the entertainment Of q mis-
sionary and his family in ones home
to the sending of a book to a friend on
the field-in which every Christian may
share in the fellowship of the one COM
mon task Of world-evangelization
Many a person who cannot make q
missionary speech can write a mission
airy letter. ="
Wherever there is a nom Christian
foreigner in ones own land, there is a
missionary opportunity.
1t is the motive that makes the mis-
sionary.
The sender and the sent are fellow
missionaries. Every disciple who does
any sort Of mission work is a fellow
laborer with Christ in the one unfin-
ished work that began in Bethlehem.
Somehow or other, as this over
whelming war is teaching mankind,
there must come a federation of ma
tons, parliament of man. The
Christian law OF peace and brotherhood
must supplant barbarism and strife. OF
all forces that have been leavening hui

the enemy either hit him on the head
or catch his hands. The right hand is
protected by the rifle. so that it is the
left that gets hurt.

which is generally supposed to be

chicken, remains for only two hours
A hard boiled egg lasts for four
hours, which is much longer than the
average. whereas boiled fish remains
for only an hour and half.
1t is very common mistake to sup

Switzerland at least has large as

doubtless there are some government
