tragedy now being enacted in Europe.

to refer to Belgium. his recent words
having brought that afflicted country
wildly into my mind.
Belgium exclaimed his eminence.
How sad it all is. is it not? l am ac-
lively engaged in raising funds for
that afflicted country. Cardinal Mer-
cier has my admiration and friendship.
1t is appalling the amount of suffering
the world is called upon al present to
endure. But is it not marvellous how
all that is best, most Christlike, in hui
man nature has been brought forth by
this great cataclysm of war? On the
one side we see, with horror, mans in
humanity to man, but. on the other,
gloriously resplendent, appears what is
noblest, most Godlike in the soul of the
race
But the question of responsibility
l could not refrain from eNclaiming.
The cardinal smiled sympathetically.
You have in mind. l see. the great
problem of free WILL he remarked.
But is there not given to nations, as
to individuals. the power to make the
crucial choice between good and evil?
We must believe this. We must believe
that there is a divine purpose in it all
that is being fulfilled
and the destiny of America" 1
oueried.
Who can doubt its greatness?" re-
turned his eminence warmly. We
came into the family of nations with a
mission, and that mission grows con-
stantly clearer to our sight and more
glorious"
and it is not true. as the late Prof.
Cramb asserted" ! asked. that in the
modern world Corsica has conquered
Galilee?"

Another winter wild flower that has

that the hepatica's blossoms are the

There is a pretty legend relative to
the hellebores, or Christmas roses,
where they We're known as roses of af-

of the classic authors of old with the most

Thus spoke his eminence James Car

library of his residence adjoining the
cathedral in Baltimore, on the after
noon of that historic day upon which
the world had learned the uncompro-
missing attitude that the entente pow
ers had taken against the suggestion
of the central powers that a peace con-
ference be held. His eminence had
granted me an audience that he might
make public comment upon a recent
utterance o: ex-President Eliot. rum

And what about war. your emf

The cardinal bent toward me with al
most startling suddenness. his gray
eyes grown black with the fervor my
question had aroused.
How dare DR.. Eliot imply that the
Christ ever said anything against
war;" he returned, sharply. Surely.

human activity. But l deny that there
is anything in the authenticated teach
ings of Jesus of Nazareth that would
place Him among those whom we know
today as pa ciIists. On the contrary.
He repeatedly recognized the moral
value of strife and conflict among men.
and implied in all His teachings that
warfare. the eternal struggle between
good and evil, is inherent in the nature
of the universe. Render unto Caesar
the things that are Caesars. and unto
God the things that are Gods In
these words the Christ makes a distinc-
ton that comes logically from the lips
of Him who came to bring not an
olive branch, but sword to earth"
The cardinal paused, and, leaning
back again in his chair, gazed mus
ingly at the ceiling.

he went on presently. I'VE need his
torical bases for any conclusion we
may reach. War, though it apparently
has received divine sanction, is in
herently a pernicious and abnormal
manifestation of human nature We
get the right light upon it only by en-
ploying a long perspective and COM
pairing recent centuries with those more
remote. In former ages war was uni
versal and continuous: the main occu-
patton of men in those dark times con-
sisted in the slaughter of their fellows.
Take. for instance. the seven hundred
years in the history of Rome. from the
time of it's founder, RomuluS to the
period the Romans were in practically
permanent state of war. During
these seven centuries they enjoyed only
seven years of what could reasonably
be called peace Contrast this appall-
