Sin Per Sc
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)


Susannah Wesley. mother of John.
was, from all accounts. a remarkable
woman. She had dozen on so children,
and sense to match.
One day, for instance, a neighbour
amazed at the quiet patience of Mrs.
Wesley asked. why do you tell that
child the same thing over twenty
times ?"
Because answered she, nineteen is
not enough
But II is another saying of the great
SuSannah upon which we now design to
animadvert To wit, namely. a sentence
from one of her letters TO her son John.
Like a great many other young people,
John wanted to know exactly what Sin
is. His mother told him, and in these
words
Would You Judge Of the lawfulness or
unlawfulness of pleasure. take this rule
Whatever weakens your reason, impairs
the tenderness of your conscience, OBJ
scures your sense Of God. takes off your
relish for spiritual whatever in
creases the authority Of the body over
the mind-that thing is sin 20 you, how
ever innocent it may seem in itself"
! do not know that | have seen any
where, in or out Of the books on theol-
ogy and ethics, better and a more I'M
derstandable definition Of sin.
Everybody wants to know what is
right and what is wrong. the lax as well
as the virtuous; and much of the wrong
doing Of the world arises from confusion
of mind. Sin lies not all in the warped
will.
And il everybody would lay Susan
nah's words to heart, and. to use a
phrase from the Book of Prayer, read
mark, learn and inwardly digest" the
same, 'twould save Us from many a
moral middle.
And if you can't master it ALL or pos
sibly don't approve Of it all, just take a
part of IL. those words. whatever in
creases the authority Of the body over
the mind, that thing TO you is sin.
| think II was Amie--or was il Jou-
bert who said that all culture consist
ed IN transferring our pleasures from
the body over 70 the mind so that the
arts and sciences are the landmarks of
religion
But the chief excellence of this excel
lent woman's dictum is her emphasis
upon the fact that sin is personal II
lies not in the infraction OF any code or
rules, but in our inward cowardice and
moral fabbiness, in our disloyalty To our
own conviction. in our refusal, for what
ever reason, to follow our sense Of
Ought
If man simply does what seems right
to him he will win past all the creeds in
Christendom
There is no sin Per Sc only Per Me.

Uncle Sam Should Send
Bulgarian Legation Home

Tho allied diplomats are too polite to
express an open opinion about our diplo-
matte pitching, they are deeply puzzled
as to why we continue relations Of amity
with Bulgaria and allow the Bulgarian
minister full swing
Sooner or later they feel the United
States will realize the necessity of break
ing off relations with Bulgaria They
think it ought to be sooner rather than
later.
1t is all very well to say Bulgaria has
given us no casus belli. That may hold
true in theory, not in practice. The Bull
gars have over 100000 wel-trained
troops in this war. They hold Serbia.
They face Russians and Runanians in
Rumania. With Germans. Austrians and
Turks they face the allies at Monastir.
Every Bulgarian regiment engaged in
war work thereby automatically relieves
a German or an Austrian regiment for
work elsewhere.
Germans soon will be killing American
soldiers because they will be spared for
this work by the job Bulgarian troops
are doing elsewhere. SO whether we
want to call it so or not, Bulgarian troops
will be fighting ours indirectly.
But there is still another phase Each
belligerent is anxious for information
concerning preparations and plans Of the
others. Germany wants to know how
we are getting along with our selective
service armies, with our naval plans for
destroyers and submarine chasers, with
our aviation program, with our nanufac-
ture of big and little guns, rifles and am
munitions
The most likely agency for the trans
mission of this kind of news is the Bull
garian legation.

The King of the Huns

Seventeen years ago when German
troops were about TO depart from Bren,-
erhaen TO help suppress the Boxers re-
belIion in China and secure revenge for
what had been done to Germans. Kaiser
William SAID among other things
III you meet the enemy. YOU viii de-
feat him. give no quarter. make no pris-
oners let whoever falls In your hands
ne doomed Just a thousand years ago
the Huns, under their King Etzel. made
for themselves a name which TO this day
Is mighty one In tradition. SO may your
appearance make the name German be
feared for a thousand years In China. So
never again VIII a Chinaman dare 10 look
askance III any German.
Substitute FOR the word "Chinaman"
the word allies and the speech might
have been made AT the beginning of this
war
The spirit OF ruthleSsness. Of Hunnish
savagely, of utter disregard of restraint
which breathed in the words of the kaiser
IN 1900 Is Just As alive in his heart today
and in the hearts OF his men.
The Germans have not made var as civ
lhzed human beings make war They
have made War as il was made a thou
sand years ago. They have made war as
their ancestors made IL long before that.
before the religion of the God of Love
had been preached to them.
The Sod TO whom the kaiser Is always
appealing and Of whose aid he is always
50 cocksure is not the God or the Christ

ancestors. q God of battles, q God that re-
joices in blood
No man, not even the emperor of the
Huns, could dare appeal 10 the God We
worship, when his hands are dripping
with the blood of the innocents. His
minions have outraged women and mu-
tilated children, carried off the helpless
into slavery, assassinated civilians upon
the high seas.

Just as King Etzel made for himself a
name. so has the Hohenzollern-a name
Of infany which viii be execrated by gen
erations yet unborn. Just as he desired
the name of German should be feared for
a thousand years in China, so the name Of
German will be hated for thousand
years throughout the world.
II will not be necessary, after this war,
to form an economic union of the free ma
tions against Germany. The union is al
ready formed. It is union of hearts and
of spirits
To mark an article Made in Germany"
will be 10 put on it the mark Of the beast.
People will pass it by.
The German people are in for a penance
and a punishment which win iast for gen
