1t is question for personal and

Preparations for the celebration Of the

Before that day dawns the cause Of
war must be removed.
Whence comes war?
II came into the world through the
passage sin opened, and until that pas-
sage Is closed by the overthrow and de-
structlon OF sin. war will not cease.
Inc nature Of sin is to breed strife
The gospel of peace and good will to
men must ind a lodgment in the hearts
OF all men before universal peace enters
upon its reign.
The military wars of earth are a re-
morseless evil. They have made the
earth to groan in agony to its very CEN
ter and deluged its surface with human
blood. Every association of war is preg-
nant with horror. All that is ruinous,
terrible and horrible stalk in its wake.
True eventual good has resulted from
war. but that does not excuse those who
provoke it. Woe unto the world be-
cause Of offense. for it must needs be
that offenses come, but woe unto that
man whom the offense cometh.''
What Is true Of that man. is true of
that nation by which the offense
cometh.
While we are now SO deeply impressed
with thoughts of war and its great evils
let US not forget that there is q good
war in which we may engage. and in
the issue of which. all men are concern
ed and deeply interested.
