DOES THE WAR PROVE
CHRISTIANITY A FAILURE?

In the January Woman's Home
Companion, Charles +. Jefferson. pas.
tor Of Broadway Tabernacle, New
York City, writes an interesting war
article in which he comments as fol.
lows on the question as to whether
this war proves Christianity a failure;
IF someone says that the claims OF
the church have all been shattered.
the reply Is that the church makes no
claim except on conditions that must
be met II promises no victories ev.
Cept to hearts that surrender. II pre-.
diets no paradises until men have in
them the mind Of Jesus. Christianity
is an invitation II the invitation is
not accented It can do no mighty
works Christianity is a revelation
of the heart Of God. II men refuse TO
become like Him, the world remains
in darkness. There Is no failure then
in the Christian religion. The failure
lies with the men who refuse 10 re.
ceive It. If Europe had been Christian
this war would never have been. The
agony Of Europe gives new point 10
the question: How shall we escape
If we neglect so great salvation" II
