The Washington herald., 1916-06-18

your logical mind will be able to con-
clude that the city in question should, and
could, not be the object of your cynical
wittcisms- 1t seems to me that there
was very little effort made, by the author
Of the editorial to verify the facts in
the case before publicly expressing his
own logical views and conclusions.

Let the Dance Go On.
Editor of The Washington Herald:
self pleasing and pleasure seeking gain
the ascendancy in the life, the heart be-
comes caloused. so that the suffering of
others appeal but slightly to It. During
the last decade or two, disaster after dis
aster has fallen upon the earth. For a
time. these calamities arouse men to a
sense Of their responsibility to their fell
low men and God, but in a little while
the self sspirit again becomes dominant.

The typographical investiture in which
this picture Of hippant. heartless world
illness appeared IN the Post has not been
reproduced. but the reader will no doubt
be sharply conscious Of its biting mes
sage. and the more so because it Is not
an imaginary picture.
In ancient times, the children OF Israel
wandered from the path of right, and to
bring them to their senses and to God,
national disasters were permitted to come
upon them. Bowed down under the yoke
of oppression. Israel repented, and
turned to the way OF Righteousness. This
experience was repeated until there was
no remedy. and the Kingdom was taken
from them and given to a nation bring
Ing forth the fruits of righteousness.
Mems hearts are rapidly becoming so
fully set to do evil. that Gods remedy.
the gospel Of divine grace. is losing its
power to transform unbeIieving lives.
And again there will be no remedy, and
then will come the end. and the transfer
ence Of the kingdoms OF this world from
those who destroyed the earth. to the
people Of the saints of the Most High.
When the children Of God Of all ages
take the kingdom, theX will possess it
forever and ever. Sin will not appear
the second time. The fires Of Gods JUS
tIce. kindled in the end OF time. will have
forever destroyed sin and all its conse-
quences. The very memory of sin and
sinners will perish. Gods universe will
be free from heartlessnees, and God 5
love will reign sovereign in every heart
in all his universe. That day OF blessed
ness is night, even at the door" of
