Germany Will Fall
ike Babylon and Nineveh.

There is only one mind and viii in Germany,
and that is the mind and will to destroy us.
All its energies are concentrated upon that
one end and there is not the slightest sign OF
slAckening or deviation of aim in regard
thereto. What have to counter it with?
Only one thing. and II that fails all is lost
I mean the spirit of our people.
II is strange how the spirit OF a people can
rise and fall from age to age. Compare the
poor-spirited Greece of to-day with the Greece
of Thermopylae and Salamis of Leonidas and
Pericles. We were a small and feeble folk
in the spacious days OF great Elizabeth COM
pared with our numbers and resources to-day.
but that tiny State broke the power OF i'm
perial Spain. which occupied then the same
position relatively to the rest OF the world
that Germany occupies now.
II was done by great national spirit and
nothing else. spirit that could create and in.
spire fleets and armies and without which
fleets and armies are OF little worth. Never
was a more glorious band OF men than the
mighty captains who stood around the throne
Of England in that supreme hour Of our ma
tional destiny.
To-day an even greater crisis is upon us. Is
our national spirit equal to it?-our daring
selfconhdence. willingness to dedicate all we
have and are to the salvation Of our name and

A FRIEND. looking through last weeks
4 article before IT was printed. re-
marked 1T is a pity you had not
space to discuss what we really have to fear
In life and why" l quite agree that this is a
subject which arises inevitably out OF the one
already considered. namely. the relation of
religion to the world war.
What are we afraid of?
What ought we be afraid Of?
We are afraid OF suffering losing. and. in
varying degrees. OF harm coming to persons
and interests we love. This is all that is the
matter in England to-day. barring our own
Ignorance and wrong-headedness.
We are afraid OF pain in body OF mind. OF
bereavement in soul or substance, of evil over
taking our country's cause or the few indivi-
duals we hold most near and dear And such
feeling is very natural. though. as l shall try
to show. more OF less iusory. We ought to
get above #; ought to be afraid OF being
afraid; we ought to seek to rise to the moral
height wherein the only thing to be feared
is to fail of being and doing our best.
For. II we only knew It, this is all that is
worth our solicitude; it includes every other
good that could be thought or named. This is
what life is for, to get the best out OF us; IL
has no other meaning. And this best carries
with It ultimately all the benefits we have ever
needed or desired. and probably much more
than we have even glimpsed as yet
Pain is Joy in the making Nothing can be
lost that ever was ours; no evil can touch.
much less injure the truly essential things
in man or nation. This is great deal to say.
but It can be justified from the experience of
those who have lived their lives in terms OF
