MODERN WAR is MERCIFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound
ed Are Given a Fair Chance
to Recover Health.

A general impression is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss of life and greater pain
are caused. The view Is almost GER
tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let, says the Scotsman, unless 1t Is OF
the soft-nosed type, is on the whole
merciful, and either kills outright or
gives its victim fair chance Of re-
covery. 1t does not. as rule, mutt
late.
The ambulance corps was practical
ly unknown GO years ago, and not
only is aid brought more rapidly to
the wounded, but it is far more ef-
fective than in the pre-Lister days.
Rapidly of conveyance has increased
beyond all comparison. In the pres
ent war 1t Is true to say that in many
cases men have been lying In a Brit
ish hospital within "a hours Of re-
ceiving their wounds. II the risk Of
being hit is greater, the chances Of
recovery from injury have been I'M
mensely increased.

The English Bible contains itera-
ture Of many sorts: historic. poetic
dramatic and lyflclh argumentative.
epistolary, biographical. Its history
is clear wfsho0t baroness, simple
without dullness. Its poetry as seen
In the book of Job moves like drama

Its poetry also sings songs Of trust.
which give calm to the moving depths

are personal and tender and loving.
It's biographies are, above all else,
truthful. It does not hide Jacobs CHI

treason.
The Bible OF Luther has been tho
formative influence in the making OF
the German language. The King
James translation of the Bible has
been a standard of good English and

of the divine movement for human re-
demption.
And its purpose is to reveal God as
the Redeemer, or to record His work
ing In the world for its redemption.
Many things we may ask of the Bible,
but we must ask that 1t shall guide
us to God. And this 1t does. 1t full
fills its purpose. No one who sim
cerely tries fails to find In it's pages
the way to the Redeemer. The Bible
does not pretend to be text book on
all conceivable subjects, but II is a
text book on getting out Of Egypt into
Canaan, or out Of bondage into free
dom, or out Of a wrong into a right
life. 1t Is rich in information and in
spiration on many matters related to
all this, but it is supreme in this mat
ter of the redemption Of human life
from destruction.
Wendell Phillips was once asked to
omit the last paragraph of one Of his
great anti-slavery speeches as con-
dition Of having the speech published.
The flaming orator replied: II cannot
do 1t. / wrote the whole speech just
to say that" So the whole Bible
was written to say that "the Son of
Man Is come to seek and to save that
which Is lost"
