WAR PLANS HURT
| U. S., HE Thinks
Rev. Mr.. Palmer Believes We
Should Be True to Chris
tian Ideals.
PROTESTS ARMAMENT
Admits Dangers in Long Continued
Peace and Benefits from War.
Which Rebukes Incidence.

Peace is the blessing for which all
men should pray. Not peace at any
price; yet certainly peace az the
highest price," said Rev. John c. Pal
mer. of the Washington Heights Pres
byterian Church, who preached q
Thanksgiving sermon yesterday morn
ing on rs America Daring to Be
Faithful to Christial Ideals?" Rev.
Mr.. Palmer considered the advanta ges
of war as well as of peace and deliv-
cred a strong protest against further
armament or preparedness.
This war has proven that not d.
plomacy. not commercial interests. not
education nor culture. not great
armies or navies can insure the peace
and prosperity of a nation" he said.
''1s IL not time that one nation. our
own America, should be true to her
highest ideal and face the world in
calm confidence. as We propose to deal
Justly. righteously. and Christianity
with all? 1t is a tremendous task. but
to be disheartened in view OF IL is
treason alike to country and to God"
Talking on the benefits of war, Rev.
Mr.. Palmer said the absence OF OBJ
stacles. the lazy indulgence of the
rich. and the prosperous conditions in
OF country and people. Rome laughed
and died." he quoted.
Dangers in Continued Peace.
He said: TT must be confessed that
in these piping times Of peace with
which America has been blessed ma
terial prosperity has been seculariz-
ing the mind of our people. God is
not in our thoughts as he was in the
day of our Puritan fathers. On this
day of national thanksgiving and
prayer. so suggestive Of divine pro-
lection and deliverance. we may well
lift up our voices
Let us admit. then. that there are
dangers in long-continued peace In
times OF prosperity. man Is apt to forget
Righteousness. expressions of various
forms increase. legality takes the place
Of morality, and purity dies down in the
arms OF lust.
Let us admit, too, that there are GER
tain benefits and compensations of war.
War rebukes that spirit of Incidence and
secular carelessness. Its intolerable roar,
its overcrowded hospitals, its countless
graves, its sorrow-stricken firesides
a waken men from mental lethargy. War
calls a halt on frivolity and provokes
sober thought. War Is a bugle call to
the discipline. the Joy and the glory of
sacrifice.
Must history always repeat itself?
Must wars always be because they have
been? Can mankind learn nothing by
The time was when war was
the normal condition OF society and peace
the exception. The reason ! dread tol
see America arming herself under guise
OF preparedness Is because it shall make
1t impossible for her TO speak with con-
sincerity and follow the star of
glorious Christian IDEALS

EAT REMAINS OF CANDLES
Christmas Services Among the Eskl.
mos Of Labrador-Part Most En-.
joyed by the Children.

Somebody has said that when the
world was being made the Creator
gathered up all the waste material he
had left over and made Labrador out
OF it. Some people say the Creator
never intended it to be INHABITED. But
inhabited it is with sturdy, taciturn
band of Eskimos, who, thanks to the
Moravian missionaries who have pene-
trated to that country, celebrate
Christmas in their own peculiar way.
AS service time in the church draws
near all the inhabitants, old and
young, the men on one side and the
women on the other, are waiting In
eager expectation. 1t is quite dark
by four o'clock and the bell rings. All
come trooping in clad in the best
clothes they can muster.
No one stays at home from these
services unless he is sick or lame,
and whenever it is possible sleighs
are used to bring these disabled ones
to church.
For the little children the happiest
part of the services comes later when
