Presbyterian Church Notes

1t IL related of certain Greek
philosopheS that, being observed go
ing with lantern at noon-day ap-
pafently seeking something. he was
asked the object of his search. To
which he replied A man. This
act of the eccentric philosopher was.
doubtless. sy,nbolical and designed
to impHt an important truth. In
all ages philosophers have preceived
that the ideal of human nature was
lost, and they have searched earnest
~ for its recovery with the lantern
of human reason. The search. it is
needless to say has been in vain.
But the object of philosophy's long
and fruitless search has been found.
1t is not an idolized myth, but a real
being of flesh and blood, A being
possessing all the elements of true
manhood in perfection without a
single human faclt or failing.
Come out to our morning service

my COUNTRY, RIGHT OR
WRONG"

AT first thought this familiar:
phrase might be regarded as unrea-
Isoning patriotism. There are superior
tsouis who claim to be international
lists rather than patriots. They are
not valued citizens of any govern-
ment. t7s "a =
! In an autocracy this spirit has its
excuse. The people have had no
share in making the government,
and can't be expected to submit read
lily to policies forced on them. 4.
The, system under which we live
| is of our own making. The acts OF
| the Washington government are the
acts of all of us, since the govern
ment was created by the laws we all
have made. The moment that any
minority or racial section fails to
! Join in this common responsibility,
lit helps make the United States a
mere debating society rather than a
nation, and renders it about as for
midable force as debating socie-
ty usually is.
| Democratic governments have US
ually failed because their people
could not Loyalty cooperate. Hav-
| ing lost the game, they wouldn't
play. Fortunately minority politi-
cal parties usually support the gov
lernment in foreign peril. The only
question is as to whether our more
recent newcomers have caught this
spirit.
Are they willing in national crisis
to accept the sentiment OF the nation
as whole? Or are they here only
for the fat American pay envelopes?
Will they join in loyal assent to the
American spirit. viii they suppress
demonstrations of dissent that could
easily give the idea that this is an
!undisciplined people lacking any
unity?
Probably nearly all of our so call
ed ''hyphenated citizens"will be
found in the right place If war comes.
1t is perfectly natural that they
should not easily lose touch OF the
ideals and conceptions into which
they were born. But the American
Esprit has drawn these people into
our free Western life. and 1t can's
help swaying them. Those who can't
feel that loyalty to America right OF
wrong, were better elsewhere. They
have come here under misconcep,

CUTTING OUT
 REFRESHMENTS

It's tOugl Mck-pGtting a ban on the ice cream and layer cake and hot chocolate and sugar cookies that fol- low along after the piles of plaes come ten o'clock in the evening. A church social or grange entertain ment or a high school dance, will seem mighty forlorn when the hour arrives for refreshments and there isn't blessed thing in sight to eat, nor even Japanese napkin to sug. gest what might hav.a been.
 But just the same, these days spong cake ought to stick in folks threats. Who are we, any of us, to sit tickling our palates when our sol diers don't have sugar in their coffee. Until the fight to preserve American ideals is over, we haven't much bus mess to eat in the evening for the sake of sociability. The cream ana eggs and sugar that go into the ice cream freezers of our country are needed for the little children of Amer ican soldiers who have gone to face the shrapnel for our apathetlc sakes.
 It is up to the city folks, too--tae ones that raid the ice box before bed time for a fourth meal. If they let cheese alone-there's so much more milk to supply our terrifying need. Butter, sugar, breAd-all foodstuffs- are actual munitions.
 Four meals day, "eats" for the fun of it, with Germany untamed?

SNEAK WHO BLAMEs IT ON GOD.

Germany's misfit chancellor now says that "the war is Gods act"
 Putting all the blame on God for the disagreeable features of war and giving credit to the Kaiser for all the victories is a Teutonic habit. In- science rarely goes so far as that.
 But was it God or an ambitious and bloody Prussian dynasty which for 40 years prepared an army of millions of men for this war? Did God or a savage general staff of the kaiser's order that rape of peaceful Belgium?
 Was it Gods order, or a command |of a debauched crown prince which smote the great cathedrals of France? ?
 Did God or you Tirpitz fire the tor pedo which sank the Lusitania and drowned over 1000 helpless noncon1- batants?
 Was it Jehovah or drunken crew of Prussian liberties who outraged the women of . conquered territory?
 Did the Almighty or tottering emperor order airships to bomb Brit ish schools and murder scores of chill dren?
 The people of the world take no stock in this barbaric and pagan idea of Prussia's that whatever is cruel or harsh or unpleasant or savage or mur. derous or destructive is direct act of God.
 On the contrary the world has learn- ed to appraise the Hohenzollern tribe for what it really is-a bloody dynasty which to gain it's own selfish and greedy ends first brought the war upon unprepared Europe and now wages it by all the rules of the feroci- ous Hun.
 Besides which, blaming the war up- on God is not going to let out Ger many to the fraction of an ounce when the final day arrives for reckoning up peace terms. Philadelphia Telegraph.
