sand years ahead of the times if they
had let God have His way with them.
Democracy is now seen to be the
highest type of human government.
We never make a mistake in letting
God have His way with us. even
though that way runs counter to the
common usage. God was trying to
create a peculiar people" to lead the
world: but the Israelites did not want
to be peculiar" they preferred to
follow the world and it's fashions. So
they got what they wanted, and
missed their high destiny. Alas for
own way.
Religion and Patriotism.
The tightly-woven two stranded
cord of religion ana patriotism runs
through these twelve lessons Re
ligion and patriotism are still, as then,
one and inseparable. Each interacted
upon the other. When the fires of
religion burned low, the light of pa
triotism almost died out. The refuge
and inspiration of the people in all
their times of crises was the religion
of Jehovah. One of the major mont
tions to mankind from the life or an
cient Israel is this one that If patriot
ism is to flourish, and national life
prosper, then constant heed must be
given to religion.
Everybody who takes time for any
real thinking today knows the per-
tinency Of this truth to our own land
be in the melting pot. New and vast
changes are impending. Some of these
are perils of the first magnitude. This
is one of the gravest hours of our ma
tons history. High and hard are the
duties which the conditions prescribe.
Only religion, real and personal, is
adequate to inspire and maintain life
up to the new level. There are rea-
sons inherent in present national prob
lens which justify the EXTREMIST eff
forts on the part of all Christian lead
ers to revive the power and applica-
ton of religion in the lives Of our peo-
pie.
The trials through which the older
nations are now passing join with the
experiences of ancient Israel to dem
onstrate the primacy of faith. Only
religion is sustaining the warning ma
tions in this their fiery trial. From
every battle front comes the news that
a revival of religion is in progress.
Russia has issued a special itany for
her soldiers. The Germans are sus-
tanned by a conviction that they are
angaged in something akin to a re-
ligious crusade. France seems to be
shedding her cynical religion, and re-
turning to the faith of her fathers.
Some British regiments have family
prayers, as a body, ere they go into
action. Religion is the hours great
word and lesson.

An ardent spirit dwells with Christian
love,
The eagles vigor in the plying dove;
IT'S not enough that we with sorrow sigh,
That we the wants of pleading men supply
That in sympathy with sufferers feel
Nor hear a grief without a wish to heal:
Not these suffice,-to sickness, pain and
woe,
The Christian spirit loves with aid to go;
VIII not be sought, waits not for want to
But seeks the duty,-nay, prevents the
need:
Her utmost aid to every i'll applies,
And plant relief for coming miseries.
