Vision Of Hone

"A s stand upon the threshold of the new
IA year my heart iB thrilling with grati-
tude TO God for his manifold blessings during
the old year. Health. home, food, raiment,
friends, social fellowships, opportunity for
service to others, personal spiritual conquests
-these are some OF the gifts of God which
demand my profoundest gratitude.
Men. let me call your attention to the fact
that this has been a strategic year in moral
reform The war upon political graft and
grafters has been persistent The day of
disreputable boss" rule has ended in most
American municipalities. Men OF character
are in demand for public office Steadily an
awakened public sentiment is choking to its
death the devilish rum business
But have you noticed that the Christian
forces Of the Republic have secured a new
and conquering ally in the metropolitan
press7 Compare the first daily papers Of
the country with those of 10, even s. years
ago See how sensational accounts of crime
have been curtaiIed. See how descriptions
OF domestic troubles and shocking recitals of
personal inimoralities almost utterly ex-
oilided. Have you noticed the attitude of
friendlness toward church life and enter
prises? Do you appreciate the amount of space
the papers are giving to religious move
ments? Take, for example, the space which
has been given for weeks in our Philadelphia
dailies to this coming campaign. do not
know whether you people realize what
powerful ally the church has secured in the
daily paper, or whether you realize that for
literary character. moral fibre, Christian
tone and downright sympathetic helpfulness
in every Christian enterprise, we have here
iu Philadelphia far and way the best news
papers to be found in the Republic.
Ii anybody among these thousands is
gloomy and cast down and pessimistic con-
corning tomorrow. concerning the better day
in the political economic, social, moral and
spiritual life Of our city and Of the world,
pray they may get vision Of hope, vision
OF coming conquests. God pity the pessmis-
tic souls who stand in the blazing light of
this best day and still persist in their pessi-
rnisn God raise up mighty army of Chris

SCOTS View Of a New Year

a particular death he grieves. though he knows
that thousands die daily He is likable crea-

through the mind of one OF the great on jan
uary 1, 1926, whereupon he put 1t in his journal
The Journal OF Sir Walter is one OF the books
that inspire. that nourish that never ex-

Minoe Pies in the Trenches

AN CHRISTMAS DAY some of the British
~ soldiers in Flanders carried present of
mince pie to their foes in the German
trenches, an act which was later reciprocated
by Teutonic courtesies. Similar exchanges
OF hospitality have been reported from
GaIlcia and other fields of action. Such
incidents only go to show that warfare is
not the hostility OF man to man. but an
affair OF nations, in which racial or ter
xitorlaI or imperialistic ambitions are the
precipltatlng causes 1t is impossible for
men to hate other men whom they have never
acsn. Warfare is an artificial barbarity in
which the essential elements of humanity
are violated and outraged Just in proper
zion as governments become humanized
and democratized do the chances OF war
decrease; it is the aristocracies, the autoc.
raeies and the bureaucraeies that give oc-
caslon for international strife A referen-
aum on whether particular conflict should
be waged might well lead to avoidance of
wars

The New Year


THE New Year enters upon heritag
j SCARED with devastation and ruin. Hal
the world is in the beat of the blood lust
Humanity is staggering along in times SC
stressful that weakllngs drop in multitude'
and strong men find the turmoil almost be-
yond their endurance The character of the
race is on the balances; civilization and bar.
barism are engaged in a titanic contest
and the war god holds in his hands the des-
tinles of nations and peoples.
! America. the melting pot with It's com
posite citzenry alone Of the great Powers
retains It's equilibrium The propaganda OF
peace, ridicued few years ago, has been a
| leaven of 80 great strength that aversion to
war and devotion to peaceful pursuits have
become our chief Characteristic Whatever
the differences which have arisen between
ourselves and other nations, few seek to
settle them with the sword This giant de-
mocracy. by the very madness OF other Gov
ernments, is being elevated into a guiding
star and the final instrument of arbitration
1t is here that the New Year must begin Its
ministry OF healing and from America must
come the means of rehabilitation in the Old
World
At home we still face period of industrial
depression. But there is no Grape on the door
and 1t is not locked to opportunity. We are
not looking back. Our eyes are to the front,
The burden Of responsibility is not too heavy
for us. We carry 1t because we must carry
1t. Our best thought is being devoted to the
restoration of normal Industrial conditions,
Public sentiment has been sobered Practi-
70 Ia a
tance to the nations perspective before un-
known. There is a sobriety in its purposes
and its plans which recalls the darkest days
Of the Republic. There is the old optimism
the ancient faith in the permanence of our
institutions, the solidity of industrial
foundations. The battle for prosperity is
subordinate to the mlghtier struggle for
peace, albeit our charity, in the hour of need
poured into Europe, is flowing, too, in gener-
Gus measure at home.
Philadelphia is the backbone of productive
industry In America, and, therefore, at this
period, in the world. The conjunction of cir
cumstances, II nothing else must soon set
the wheels to whirling. 1t is merely a ques-
tion now Of how long. 1t may be this month
and it may be next; but the revival of indus
try casts its shadow before 1t, and the
auguries all point in one direction. The very
psychology of the calendar means new in
spiration renewed dedication of energy, at
this beginning of period The old is done
with; it is the new with which we are con-
cerned A great push forward a mighty
effort in unison, a restored determination, an
adaptation Of law to progress. definite pur-
pose and courage-these are the things!
The New Year is loaded with opportunity,
tor 1t comes into desert of hopes. It's days
will be great days in human chronicles May
it mark the end of an old era and the be-
ginning of new and be bridge to a long
period OF substantial peace. We look to 1t
for the contamination of these things, not

More Lightheadedness

TIME Government ship purchase scheme is
i as crude proposal to tap the public till
has been given sanction In many years.
but there is one objection to 1t being urged
which is even more unreasonable than the
enterprise itself.
Some timid souls have pointed out, that It
would be extremely dangerous for the United
States Government to purchase foreign mer-
chantmen because belligerent battleships
might doubt the sincerity OF the transfers to
the American flag, seize United States ships
thus purchased and treat them exactly as If
they were enemy bottoms. We take it that
England, France and every other nation
would give no voice to suspicious of this
character. II they had any. Purchase by the
Government itself OF merchantmen would be
complete and conclusive proof of the sim
certify and legality OF the transactions.
There are too many real objections to Gov
ernment participation in the shipping busi-
ness to bring forward 80 lame an argument
In opposition.
