The Divine Mission of War

It will be seen at once that our task
 must be the joint undertaking of edu- cation and religion, since all our perils
 which are the perils of democracy
 are due to ignorance and selfishness
 The ignorance must be replaced by the
 enlightenment of education, and the
 selfishness must be driven out by the
 spirit of Him who came not to be min
 istered unto, but to minister and give
 His life ransom for many. The edu-
 cation must self evidently be of the
 right sort and the religion of the right
 sort. Subscription to empty platitudes will not suffice; Christ must live again
 in us all.. The mere study of the three R's will not suffice; we must become real students of history, which is to say fof life. We know merely the past will not suffice. We are confronted by new conditions, new industries new neces- sities, new perils. new duties. From
 the simple rural and agricultural life of the early days we have passed to the complex urban and industrial life. These new contacts and conditions are stimulating nightly the democratic spirit. and impelling us in the direction of the larger and more essential dem ocracies of which have spoken.
 The question that | bring for your thoughtful consideration is this: Shall
 we follow the evident leading of the | Almighty toward this larger democ-
 racy, in which we shall live together
 as brothers and in which Gods will shall be done on earth as it is done in ' heaven, or shall we be stubborn and rebellious. until the sword shall teach us the lessons that God is trying by milder measures to get us to sec? | Universal democracy is the only abso- l lute guarantee against war, and even
 it is such a guarantee only when we have taken the third step in the de- yelopment of democracy: namely. have become benevolent. self sacrificing. At
 the present time we have not taken the
 second step, that self mastery. Free
 dom of thought science, and the indus ! trial revolution have liberated and made powerful the popular will but | that will has not yet been moralized. We are yet in the childhood of democ- racy, in the stage of assertion. l We insist strongly upon our rights,
 but we have not yet learned that there is one thing more important than our | rights, and that is our responsibility for the use of our rights. MaZzini once said: Democracy without God is hell" He meant simply that democracy un regulated by law unmodiffed by social justice and mercy. is nothing but an- archy. The ideal democracy. and the only safe democracy, is therefore Chris tian democracy.
 When we shall have learned to gov I ern aurselves and to do unto others as we would be done by. genuine dem ocracy will be ours and the sword will 1 be sheathed forever, for democracy and war are diametrically opposed to each other both in form and spirit. But until that glad day shall come we are ! in constant danger of being plunged 1 into war. for the divine mission of war l is to teach us in the darkness the les sons of democracy that we Have been | too childish and selfish to learn in the light.

 RATE RULINGS
Corporation Commission Decides that Railroads Cannot Raise Rates on Cement Blocks from Douglas to Phoenix

It was announced yesterday that the corporation commission had made two important rulings relative to the oDer- ation of railroads in the statc. In the case of the application of the railroads to raise the rate on cement blocks from Douglas to Phoenix. Mesa and Tempe. from l7H cents per hundred to 2 cents. the request was refused.
 Rate Expert A. A. Betts, of the com mission made careful investigation cf the claims of the roads, and dis covered that the rate from Fl Paso to pofnts in the valley was practically as from Douglas. In case the rate from ti,at place was raised. it would force the Arizona companies manufac- turing and selling cement blocks here. out of business in this section.
 Another important ruling was made in the application of the railroads to assess q charge of $2.50 for spotting cars in the yards at place desig mated by the consienee. Heretofore It has been the custom for companies re- ceiving freight here. to designate the place where they wish to unload, and the cars would be placed there without any charge Tn the application which was refused, the railroads wished tC 1 force the companies receiving freight l to designate the unloading spot before : the car arrived. In case this was no; 1 done. it was desired to charge the
 extra s2.50.

Now he has given the sword a mission. and that sword will not be sheathed until the mission is performed and the na- tions purified.
 Shall we of this nation learn our lesson or shall We challenge the AL mighty to unsheath the sword? Gods purpose is going to be wrought out and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. This means a democracy of higher type than the world has yet witnessed.

The task is stupendous one, yet in- spring. Three steps there are in the development of any democracy: Self assertion. self mastery. and self sacri- flee. In the first, the common people begin to feel that they are as good as the uncommon people, and dare to as sert their rights in the second. the people begin to see that self assertion, which has expressed itself in rebellion and perhaps anarchy and may have re- suited in some new form of oppression. must be restrained by some external authority. if greater wrongs are not to result; in the third. they begin to see that no man can be guaranteed. or, to put it differently, they begin to recognize and live in a practical way the Brotherhood of Man-they become benevolent

It Is one of the most powerful aids to unite the sin ner to the church and to his Lord During these hours precious indul- gences are available. More freedom from sin will not take us to heaven. We may have much suffering to un- dergo in reparatipn for past sins. We must be. sorry for our sins or plen- ary indulgence will not do us. any good.

UNJUST TREATMENT
BY CONSUMPTION
IRIsH-AM ERIcANS DECLARE IRE
LAND is DOING HER DUTY
BY ENGLAND
lBy Associated Press.l

(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Resolutions
opposing CONSUMPTION in Ireland and
favoring abolition of martial law and
immediate operation of the home rule
act, were adopted yesterday at a
special conference of the United Irish
league of America.
It was pointed out that 1000 re-
cruits are volunteering daily in Ire
land and that out of population of
between 100000 and 100000 men
available for military duty. 10000
recruits already had been obtained.
1t was contended that in the face OF
this large voluntary enlistment, con-
scription is unnecessary.
The speakers agreed that the home
rule act should be put in force at
once, "as matter of simple justice
to Ireland for her acts in the war"
and that home rule will allay any
disaffection that may exist.
