He kept us out of war;" Rather
he dragged us so near to war that
his secretary of state, Bryan, resign
ed rather than assume any share Of
the responsibility for his beIlicose
German policy. Under Wilson U. S.
military and naval forces have twice
invaded Mexico. What really has
kept this nation out of the European
conflict and out of a war of conquest
upon Mexico? Has it not been that
the administration was made to feel
the solid weight of disapprOVal by the
masses of our peOple-the farmers
and the wage-eaTners? Is it not tTuer
to say that the American people kept
Wilson out of war rather than the
other way around?
President Wilson and his admins
tratiOn have saddIed the country with
larger military and naval appropria-
ton than any nation on earth ever
made in time of peace. Wilson signed
the Hay-ChambeTlain bill, which i'm

saTy to his re-election-An Observer.
HE'S FOR BENSON.-May I point
out briefly what seem to me to be
the faIlacies of Editor Cochran's ar
gument for voting for Wilson rather
than Benson?
He pays tribute to the Socialist
party as a splendid pathfinder for the
other parties; but if the intelligent
and forward-IoOking workingmen all
followed CochTan's advice and ex-
ample there would be no Socialist
party. Rants test of the right or
wrong of a proposed action was:
''HOw would it work out if everybody
did the same?" Suppose all radicals
and champions of labor should do as
Cochran will do Nov. and vote for
WilsOn-the Socialist movement, the
political expression of the working
class, would be wiped out. Would he
welcome such an event?
President Wilson, like Mr.. Hughes,
believes in a social system which re-
serves the luxury and beauty of life
to the few and leaves to the vast ma
jOrity a lot of toll, anxiety and de-
privation. "a living wage" (Which a
truck-hOrse gets) IS the best either
has to promise the workers who pro-
dUce the wealth of the world.
Wilson claims credit for a tempo
rary prosperity, which everyone
knows is solely due to the European
war and which is bound to end when
the war ends, as suddenly as it be-
gan. The country was in the throes
Of a panic (under WILSON, when the
war broke out.

THE ROAD OF THE ROYAL LIFE
The International Sunday School
Lesson for January 20 IL THE
Spirit of LIfe"-Rom. 1920.
(By William T. Ellis.)

Suppose we had authority to chal
lenge evrey man, woman and child
who passes down Fifth avenue, New
York, for the next hour concerning
his innermost sentiments, and could
be certain Of a true answer; o
not the result be somewhat like
this: = .r

zone moment, Madam; think a
little further, and more quietly. Is
that your deepest trouble?"
A new look comes into her eyes,
and they grow moist, as she answers,
in a low voice, mo: the burden Of
nv innermost heart is that l am not
a better woman, and more like the
character l used to dream OF becom
ing when I was a girl"
We turn to Mr.. Big Business Man,
and challenge his secret. He begins
to talk about "bad Investments"
and "labor troubles" and "too much
politics." but we probe deeper until
we get the truth: ..
Eyes, it is true that my real trou-
bic, which confronts me during
sleepless nights, is that l am so diff
ferent from the sort Of nan I planned
to be, and from the sort that my,
mother expected me to become. |

shocked to think how seldom I ever
crave for nobility. My best self
seems feebler rather than stronger"

with a box of candy under his arm

sued to candor, he c~onfesses, MY

love; that I am not a nobler, Drawer,
more righteous man. I do want.
above all else, to be true and good.

One by one we might arrest every
pedestrian and learn that the
real woe of the world is that it has
so seldom won in the war for good
ness against its baser nature. These
intimate, sacred, personal and I'M
confided strivings after a higher,
purer, holier life are the deepest
solicitude of mankind. We all have
somewhat of a OF defeat In our
spiritual struggles. There Is that
within us which tells us that we
should live more royalty than we DO.
Why, then, do we not achieve a more
victorious personality? The boy in
school and the millionaire in his
stately inner office both carry this
load of dissatisfaction.

In the Religious World
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
The How as Well as the Why.
BY WILLIAM r. ELLIS.

Inc HOW az We'll as the why.
Because this mood of unrest is
universal and immemorial, Chris.
tianity undertakes to meet it. With
the clearer, sterner thinking of our
day we dare even say that the gospel
must meet mans deepest need,
or else be discarded. 1t is not enough
to tell why men should be good; we
want to know how. Opposed to the
tug and drag Of a lower nature
which every human being has ex-
p~erienced, and which tends to cause
the level Of life to sag and slump,
the gospel really had to offer a coun-
teracting power, some divine enabling
which would help men to be what, In
hours Of clearest illumination. they
see they should be.
That explains why the first records
of the Christian church are occupied
with the descent and manifestations
Of the holy spirit. He was ind1s-
pensable. to the new scheme of things.
without him, the plans Of Jesus would
not work. Deprived of the presence
of Christ himself, the disciples needed
some equivalent power. AS noun
tain-top men who had been given q
vision, they perceived that unless
they had some assistance from with
out themselves they were certain to
slump to the level of the old conduct:
Now if Jesus had not LETT behind
him a power for the new life as we'll
as a program for the new life, TINS
Sunday school lesson would not to-
day be studied by millions, for there
would have been nc Sunday school
and no church. The spirit who came
at Pentecost has been the sustaining
strength of the cause of Christ: He
has made possible the marvels OF
Christian growth and victory. With
out Him, we should not now have
the host of holy men and women who
are the salt Of the earth. The Spirit
is the enabler who has qualified the
church.
