RETURN GOOD FOR

Byrer.

Taking as his text the words of
Paul. 'Recompense No Man Evil for
Evil" Rev. G. +. Byrer in his ser
mon on Forgiveness" at the Con-
ference Memorial church. sunday,
said that the apostles statement was
one Of the most difficult precepts OF
Christianity and pictured the beau
ties Of the Christian doctrine on for
giveness. which ne styled the no
blest of the Christian virtues"
Rev. Byrer said in part:
Paul was writing TO Christians
who were daily assailed and perse-
cuted. They had been taught in
Greek and Roman morals that it
was manly 10 resent injuries and de-
meaning 20 forgive them This doc
trine is not dead today and many
parents teach il TO their children.
We cannot escape evil: there are
always those who wish us in and
peak i'll of us. We find those who
would injure US i'm person. property.

duped and mistreated naturally stirs
the soul of the upright and it is
difficult not 10 retaliate We know
that they deserve blow for blow

But who shall deliver the blow =?
But who shall deliver the blow ?
Who shall collect the interest and in
OF these things God says to us Rec
ompense to No Man Evil for Evil.
When we seek to do harm TO our en-
emies we do a greater harm 10 our
selves. but the man who tries TO do
good, even though his efforts may
fail. Will get good out of IT, No
amount Of evil will justify a return

Not 10 recompense evil is one of
the conditions OF fellowship with
God. II is an essential condition of
obedience TO God. BE not overcome
OF evil but OvercOm, evil with good.
This is only in harmony with our
profession. 1t is initiating the life
that Jesus lived while He was upon
earth. And taught us 10 follow him.

Public Natatorlum.

The suggestion of Mayor Phillips
that Aberdeen needs a public nata-
torium is a good one. Every child
should be taught to swim at as early
an age as possible, especially those
living on the waters as we do here.
but for the city to own and operate
the institution, the wisdom is open
to doubt.
Aberdeen has about all the public
institutions she can carry at this time,
and for some time to come, without
adding any more. It seems to the
Herald that plan may be devised
that will supply the needed natatorium
without committing the city to what
would undoubtedly prove constantly
increasing cost for improvements and
upkeep. It may be possible to inter-
est private parties in natatorium,
the city furnishing the water free, SO
long as school children and their
swimming instructors were admitted
free, under agreed regulations. The
cost Of water is large item in sani-
tary swimming pool, and joint ar
rangement could be made between the
owners, the city and the school dis
trict that would be fair to all and
beneficial to the community.

Suppose another man had been
President of the United States when
Germany's policy Of frightfulness en-
dangered the peace between the two
governments. Suppose he had been a
man of martial spirit, instead of one
possessed of that keen understanding
and sympathy for American ideals
with which Woodrow Wilson is i'm
bued. What would have been his
main objective as he formulated his
policy for dealing with Germany ?
Suppose even that he had gone to
war, would he not have done this with
the main purpose of procuring an
abatement of the outrages which Ger
many had committed, and thus insur-
ing for the future that respect for
American rights which would enable
our citizens to travel wherever they
willed upon the high seas in safely and
without fear of their rights being
violated? A war or some other policy
might or might not have succeeded
in bringing this about. The policy
which the President has followed did
succeed. His vigorous exertion of
the moral power of America upon the
intellects and hearts of the German
rulers and the German people, and
his clearly indicated purpose to break
with Germany if she did not respect
our rights, compelled the most mill
tant of nations to bow to Americas
will. This was the supreme diplo-
matte achievement of modern times.
Undoubtedly the future historian,
in writing of the European war,
will comment upon the Presidents
achievement as remarkable and epoch
making.
The test of policy is its effective
ness. The effect of the Presidents
policy has been to preserve the peace
of the nation, to withhold from
American mothers and American
young men the sacrifices which war
would have forced upon them, to
leave America free to press on to her
highest destiny of national prosperity
and national ideals, to safeguard the
rights of the citizens of this nation in
whatever quarter they were assailed,
to keep the beacon light of human
hopes and aspirations toward free
government shining at a period when
darkness had engulfed all Europe and
was reaching out its hand to the
home of free governments here in the
Western hemisphere.

Well, Why NOT?

Senator Poindexter is author of a

Why not? All other tax returns
are made public, and no valid reason
can be assigned for keeping income
returns secret, especially as it is a
matter Of common belief, belief stat

less than three hundred millions dol
lars are withheld from the public
treasury by reason of false returns

Presidents European Policy.

The complete story of President
Wilson's European policy remains to
be written, but it's high achievements
already are fully appreciated by the
people of the United States. No
more successful policy, whether of
peace or war, was ever evolved by
an American President to meet the
exigencies of crisis in American in
ternational relations. The President
succeeded absolutely in meeting the
paramount need which his European
policy was evolved to meet. That
need was for the abatement of the
German policy Of making submarine
attacks against merchant ships with
out going through the process of visit
and search.
