NEW TESTAMENT" TOPIC

A series Of realistic studies on The
Origin Of the New Testament Is be-
ing given on Wednesday evenings at
100 o'clock In Central Union parish
house by Rev. J! Il. Williams, D. D.
In an informal and picturesque man.
ner Doctor Williams brings out the
circumstances under which the New
Testament was written, draws a vivid
word-picture of it, different authors
and makes his audience see them as
very real men. His theme for next
Wednesday is How the Synoptic
Gospels Came into Being"
The title sounds technical, but
those who have enjoyed the first two
lectures so mich are confident that
this talk on Matthew, Mark and Luxe
will be just as interesting and worth
while as the preceding talks.

SOLDIERS OF THE LEGION

so the Lord alone did lead him,
and there was no strange god with
him."-Deut. 32:12.
Out of the wonderful deeds of hero
ism which this great war has brought
to the world, deeds marked by an &C.
casional Victoria Cross and other mill
tary decorations, there has been de-
veloped q new ideal OF national ser
vice, a service which is more than
duty, a service which is more than
devotion, service which is more than
love Of country. This service ap-
proaches that great sacrifice Of the
Christi spells death that others
might live. 1t marks the highest form
of altruism, II displays the grandest
type Of manhod.
So as we consider those who are
willing to make the great sacrifice for
others, We also must pay tribute to
our own soldiers at the front, that lit
tie legion which voluntarily faced
death for the sake Of an ideal. True
It is that we have done all too little,
that some there have been in this
country who have interpreted this
great war in terms of cash, in per.
sonal enrichment, rather than in
terms of blood, shed by those who are
fighting for home and for country.
fear that We as a nation have been
willing, too willing, to forget that
band of loyal and true Americans at
the front, who have bled and died for
q cause, not In a sense Of their own,
but theirs because Of the love, the in.
herited love and feeling which they
had for justice and for fair play.
1t is good to call to mind this ser
vice, to remember this legion in the
hour when Americans are making the
great decision, when We are to assume
in a more compelling sense the bur-
dens Of our brothers and allies across
the waters.
AS l think Of this, l am taken back
to that ancient people, newly deliver.
ed from bondage to the Egyptians A
great leaders they had. one who had
LED them through the long years and
at last had had the satisfaction of
seeing them victorious over their enc
mics, winning the promised land. And
the secret of the success Of Israel Is
shown forth in the words of the text
so the Lord alone did lead him, and
there was no strange god with him"
So may we speak Of this loyal legion
at the front They have not followed
a false leader, they have not been
mercenary in heir devotion, they have
not followed some will O. the wisp.
They have not entered the conflict
for the sake OF personal gain, they
have not sold themselves to the high
Ast bidder. Few in number, they have
'emained faithful to the ideals of the
ne Americans, they have fought for
''erty, for the deliverance Of the OBJ
1essed, for the rights of the little

brigade OF 5000 men including ex-
penses of secretaries, building and
equipment. But what Is the cost com.
pared to the good accomplished?
The range Of the influence and the
leadership Of the United States after
the war in the world will be in exact
proportion to our self, sacrifice ami
helpfulness in the war. We can safe
guard the ideals and home principles Of
our sons and the morale Of our manhood
soon to be gathered under our colors.
The greatest danger zone in this war
Is not in the trenches, nor from high
explosive shells, but is back in the
training camps. Whether or not any
of our troops ever 60 to France they
are going to the concentration camps
and the burning question Is, shall they
