A democracy Is tho most difficult
form OF government. 1t is. judging
from the trend Of history, the ultimate
method OF. life among men. No de.
mocracy can persist unless the people
have good morals and intelligence
above the average.
The great war has taught us that a
nation is n soul. A nation Is the sum
total OF its moral, intellectual and
spiritual energies. The country 1t in
habits, all its material resources. are
merely Its possessions. not the nation
itself.
We have In America a wide diver
s!ty OF peoples. We have only one
common fact. We are tho children OF
one Father. This consciousness re-
sides in tho soul. II Is therefore the
duty OF every patriot to strengthen
the soul resources OF the country.

Preachers shouti indeed take their
text from the Bible. What text? The
Bible teaches that Righteousness ex-
aiteth a nation. How can Q man
preach on that text unless he deals
with principles and forces Of national
life?
The Bible contains the Ten Com
mandments. Are these intended to
serve as laws for a technical personal
experience On Sundays only? A church
member does not cease to be n Sitizen.
n worker and q human being. He Ia
not religious on Sunday In church I'M
less he is equally religious on Monday
in business.
At this point we are confronted with
a fatal weakness in our American life.
We have divided life into watertight
compartments. One " these contains
religion. Our faith Is based on the
theory that It has nothing to do with
the rest of our life.
The Christian theory Of the Bible Is
that life Is one. that a man Is IA much
a son Of God when making q pair Of
boots or selling a block Of reliable
bonds as he IL when praying AZ q
preacher. In the New Testament all
life IL sacramento.
The church Is q special expression
Of spiritual power. Its supreme object
Is to worship God. q God who Is In the
street and in the marketplace and
even in the haunts of vice, brooding
over men as truly as he Is In the
church.
The second function Of the church Is
to give the divine life In men a train
ing in social expression.
In the third place. the function OF
the church In to teach moral truth to
all men. And by that I mean all moral
truth which overs every activity. per-
sonal. social and political. The church
ought to be the conscience OF the
world.
The preacher in the Protestant
churches combines many functions. in
his leadership of men in their approach
TO God he IL "A priest; in his service to
the erring. the needy and the weak he
is a servant of man-that Is. a minis
ter: in his pulpit he is a teacher and
proclaimer OF the moral principles and
ideals which underlie all human exist
tnce.
His object Is 50 to nj men to live In
this world that they may live In the
world to come. II he fails so to aid
them for this world he fails to prepare
them for the next. No amount OF sol
emn nonsense in the form Of stories
about fresh streams In the midst OF
salt water will change the fact that q
rascal now will be a rascal hereafter
and that u real man in this life will be
a real man In any other life to which
he may go.
The Bible Is the book which contains
the moral instruction which Is suf-
fcient for all men in all ages. The
wars OF David. according to the view
mentioned IN THE Sun editorial. are
supposed to be holy. So long as q
preacher confines his attention to such
wars he Is entirely correct, but the mo-

r: HUNDREDS OF letters have come
to me in the last few days
criticising. both favorably and
unfavorably. my recent sermon on ma
;ional honor. and I have also noticed
communications in the press on the
subject. My harsher critics take the
view that as a minister Of the Gospel
l had no right to speak on any ma
.tional or political matter. 1t Is mani
testify impossible for me to answer all
these letters individually. and I there
fore welcome this opportunity to set
forth as best I may what I consider
the mission Of the pulpit.
My theory il that honor IL worth
any price II costs. So I held in my
sermon OF November IL that as our
women and children were slaughtered
on the high seas and as We did nothing
about It except to engage In the ex-
change Of explanative amenities we
exhibited a startling absence Of any
comprehension OF national honor. II
a nation cannot. or will not. protect
It's citizens anywhere they may be on
their lawful business they are citizens
Of no nation.
was greatly interested in a recent
editorial in THE Sun which set forth
with the deepest insight and sympathy
the function of the church. On that
same editorial page there was also
letter from an alleged church member
which presented the church in ar
aspect calculated to ALLEVIATE from Il
every human being of normal intelli'
gence and moral sense How does 1
hapben that church members become
so hopelessly narrow that they wan

THE STATES GRAPHIC
PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY
THE WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS.

The best preeaution against the
spread of tuberculosis is the cure of its
victims. In previous articles appear
ing in the Commercial Appeal writers
have set forth the dangers of infect
ion. One sufferer from the disease
may in various ways be the innocent
cause of passing it on to scores of
Others and so on, ad ininitum. 1t is a
case where an ounce of prevention is
worth tons Of cure.
As a rule the numerous sanatoria
established in the United States open
their doors only to the wealthy or to
members of fraternal or industrial or
ders under whose auspices these hos
pitfalls are conducted. But the white
plague more often knocks at the door
of the cottage or hovel of the poor
than at the mansion of the rich. If
the awful ravages of the disease are to
be successfully COPIED with, provision
must be made to take care of victims
without means.
Every municipality should, if posi-
Bile, provide haven where its unfort-
unates may receive treatment-not on
ly that the patient may be restored to
health, but as a protection to those with
whom the sufferer comes in contact.
Several months ago the Commercial
appeal launched a war on tuberculosis.
We have given columns of space in an
effort to benefit those who are victims
and to arouse the public to a sense of
the danger menacing.
If this war is to be pushed to a sue
cessful conclusion, the people must
lend a helping hand, recruits must
come forward
We sincerely trust that our readers
will at once take up the matter and
that an organized movement to stamp
out this preventable disease will re-
sult.-Memphis Commercial Appeal.
