CHRISTIANITY AND THE WAR.
Revival of Religion in the Wake OF
Fighting

The new emphasis on religion in
Europe is wall known. Each poten-
tate claims God on his side. troops
pray before entering battle. 1t is re-
ported that hundreds of thousands OF
testaments are being thumb-marked
in the trenches, revivals ae on in
France and Bulgaria, liquor and lux
ury have been tabooed, and the sim
pie life. which is psychologically re-
lated to the religious life, has been
made the rule.
1t is difficult, IL not impossible, to
define the underlying cause of so sub
tie thing as worldwide spiritual
renaissance. Perhaps the coming Of
the war and the revival at the same
time are only colossal coincidence.
On the other hand. there is ground
for the theory that the horrors and
desolation of war have solemnized the
wcrld and have had the effect Of
driving the people back upon divine
security.
At any rate the renaissance is on
and missionary christendom is faced
with the greatest opportunity in its
history-American Review of Re-
views

LANSING MAY BE
PRESIDENT A DAY
Secretary of State Will Fill
Office if Oath Is
Delayed.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-E. G.
Lrby of Kalamazoo. Mich. has asked
some interesting questions, which are
answered here. The luestior~:
|. VIM the secretary OF state hold
the office OF president of the United
States froni noon on the fourth of
March until noon March ; when the
fourth falls on Sunday
2. Did not General Arthur take
the oath of office on Sunday when
Garfield died?
}. on what day did Roosevelt
take the oath Of office on McKinley's
death?
As the fourth oc next March will
fall on Sunday and the elections this
fall will deter mine a new president
for the United States from noon OF
that day for the ensuing four years,
the questions are pertinent
Hayes Took Oath sunday.
There is lothing in the constitution
Trchibiting Ihe president from taking
the oath Of office on Sunday, and
should there exist at that time an
emergency in government the elected
president would take the oath in all
proba blity on that day; in fact
Rutherford B. Hayes took his oath of
office on Sunday. March 4, 1877, the
oath being administered privately. lie
took the oath again publicly on
March 5, 1877, at the fotmal Cere-
monies in ,ha senate chamber. But
Hayes went into office after heated
contest with Samuel ]. TIlden. and he
was efraid that Tilden might contest
should he not take the oath as re-
Qured by the constitution.
Where no emergencies appear to
the incoming president to make it
necessary or desirable for him to take
the cath OF office on Sunday. that
day falling on March 4, he can elect
to delay it until noon March 8 fol-
lowing at the usual formal ceremonies
at the capitol. During the inter-
rcgnum from noon March until
noon March the secretary of state
would he acting president rnder a
statute passed by congress.
Lansing for Brief Term
Should Mr.. Wilson or Mr.. Hughes
whichever Is elected this fall decide
not to take tho oath of office untll
noon March next Secretary of state
Lansing will he acting president from
noon March until noon March 3
next.
Neither Arthur nor Roosevelt. who
became presidents through the deaths
while in office OF Garfield and Nc
Kinley, took the oath of office on
Sunday. Arthur was sworn III as
president Thursday, Septemh Der ~

livious of the danger surrounding
them and concerned only with bring
