Lauds Wilson's Prayer
Proclamation as Worthy
of Religious Preservation

Rev. DR.. Waldron, in his peace SER
mon" at Shiloh Baptist Church. yester-
day morning said: THE Presidents
call to prayer is not only a great state
paper; 1t is a wonderful treatise on
prayer, and is worthy of permanent
place in the religious literature of
the country"
DR.. Waldron used as his text the fol-
lowing passages of Scripture: Pray
one for another" James, 5:16; Peace I
leave with you. my peace I give unto
you," John. 14:27; "Acquaint thyself
with God and be at peace; thereby good
shall come to thee" Job, SIG.
He said: This is the first time in the
history of America, and probably the
first time in the history of the world.
that the head of great nation has
called upon that entire people to pray
that wa. may cease among other and
distant nations with whom it was not
In conflict. Surely a new day and a new
hope are dawning for our own country
and the other nations of the earth. The
brotherhood of all men Is beginning to
assert itself. and nations as well as
individuals are realizing that they are
their brothers keeper
The speaker said: THE kaiser has
been urging his people to Pray God to
give victory to our side Abraham
Lincoln during our civil war urged the
people Of his country to Pray God that
we may be sure to be on His side
This latter prayer is the one which we
and the belligerent nations need to
pray now, and 1t is the only petition
which Is sure of an answer. The ter
rible war raging in Europe is bringing
to the minds of men as nothing else
can the awful consequences of nation
al sins. Each of the European nations
now at war has been guilty of great
crimes against God and humanity. and
they are atoning for these sins in the
blood of the best of their sons.
God makes the wrath of men to
praise Him and the remainder he re-
strains. We do well to pray for our
brethren across the ocean, and as we
pray let us confess our own sins and
turn from them and make amends for
the numberless crimes we have COM
mitted as a nation upon the weak,
ignorant and poor of our own land,
or God will soon begin to make an in
QUESTION for blood in this land, for
righteousness exalteth a nation, but
sin is a reproach to any people,"

THE day is calling for new inter-

The war in Europe is killing off its
splendid youth. Vigor Is being drench-
ed in its own blood. while the crippled,
the aged and the helpless will be left
to perpetuate the race. War is in de-
fiance of the highest eugenics.

terial civilization and Christian civili-
zation. Racial and national civiliza-
ton implies. for the most part. ma
terfal progress. Progress necessitates
expansion. and expansion, in a material
and national sense, must result in con-
fiict. Christian civilization likewise
means progress, and its progress de-
mands expansion, but being derived
from principles altogether at variance
with those that give life to material
wholly different. Christian civiliza-
tion acts on the principle: Do unto
others as you would have others do
unto YOU This principle is progress
sive, expansive, but cannot be antago-
nistic. The more it permeates society,
the greater is the degree Of Christian
civilization-the more secure Is the
guarantee of liberty and peace.
Our Divine Master did not preach
material progress or nationalism. He
despised the one and sought to break
down the barriers of the other. His
was a worldwide religion-the broth
erhood of all men, irrespective of race.
The nations. while boasting the

time been heaping up the elements for
the inevitable confagration. Peace!
Peace" they have cried, and 10! there
is no peace.
Let US pray. then, that the spirit of
Christ may descend once more upon
the warning world-the spirit of broth
erly love, irrespective of nation or race.
Let us pray that, as result Of this
horrible strife. men may learn that In
order to have peace on earth among
men of good will we must first learn
to give glory to God. For when duty
to God is neglected, duty to man fs
forgotten. We cannot regard all men

Lincoln's conduct of the Trent affair

New Definition Of Patriotism.
1--WE need to emphasize a new defini-
tion of patriotism. The war has taught
strikingly that no one liveth to him
self and no one dieth to himself 1t is
as true Of nations as of men, True
patriotism demands that we should act
not merely for the good of this coun-
try, but through this country for the
good of all the world. Brotherhood is
broader than national boundaries. We
must give wide application to the
teachings of Christ: Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself.' We shall not
have peace till we practice in national
dealings the Christian principles in
which we put our faith for the settle
ment of personal differences. Those
who advocate this will be called Wis
