what. may be and shall be IL coming
down the ages. Tho prophets saw him
and were glad. Then In the fulness
of time he came in visible presence.
Since then his spirit, moving In the
hearts Of disciples and breeding over
the world has been leading 1t to bet
ter and boiler things. The ideal man
has come In Christ and He goes forth
conquering and to conquer the brute
forces. He leads them.
WAR MAY BE HOLY THING.
what about war? Why. war Is
wrong. some one says. Yes, war IL
wrong. But what kind Of war II
wrong? The war for hate. the war for
aggression, the war for selfishness;
such a war IL of the devil. But the
war for ones home and ones altar, for
the chastity of ones daughters and the
safety Of ones wife Is a holy thing.
The pacifist who would not defend his
home, his children and his wife, who
would not defend the right and not
stand up for the truth IL q curse and
a menace. Such an attitude is both
foolish and criminal. have often
passed over the battlefield of Chicka-
manga, and there, where the brave
boys of the sixties lie buried, there
where once the cannon belched death
and slaughter, now the birds of the
sunny southland are building their
nests even in the lannon's mouth. and
are warbling their sweetest songs OF
love and Joy. So, too. the time Will
come when the birds will build their
nests in the tower of the cathedral Of
Reims, and where the dead now lie
buried in the trappings Of war men
will lead their little children and Of
fer up grateful thanksgiving for the
brave men who thought enough of
truth to die for 1t and believed enough
in right to give themselves for Its
perpetuity.
Amid the smoke OF battle, amid the
dust of our Industrial efforts one sees
ever more clearly the face Of the
Christ. He is the hope OF the world.
Never will there be peace among men,
never will there by amity between cap
ital and labor, and unity between races
until his spirit rules the hearts of
men. until he makes tho brute forces
his servants. But that time Is coming.
More and more one sees at the front
our world, at the front Of its moving,
driving, dynamic forces the face Of our
Christ More and more one sees lead
ing the ravenous forces, and making
them forces for service, the face of a
man, even the face Of the strong son
of God"

be present Monday night to see and
hear DR.. Schilling give with pictures
and with the living voice the complete
story Of what Is at stake in the con-

nor did the last frontier in New

pastor Of the Church Of All Nations,
told Of the fact that our American
metropolis has II times as many Jews
as Jerusalem itself.
The need Of presenting q different
form Of Christianity than that which
has murdered at least 10000 of the sons
and husbands and fathers of Russian
women Of the Jewish faith who reside
in New York City today was clearly
demonstrated. Work there for Rus
slams blends with that for Chinese,
Turks and Italians as they are being
prepared for American citizenship by

children Of the Ghettos. and by social
and religious work in languages which
they understand.
