u. S. is Modern Israel; Today Echoes
Early Bible Wars, Called TO War by God

from Egypt where for four hundred
years this nation Of two million people
had been held slaves-these battles
usually had a religious sanction.
In other words. the wars for democ-
racy and social Justice were based
upon religion. and with confidence In
the God who had called the nation
TO this task. 10 was this assurance that
made them believe in their cause and
gave them courage to fight for It.
The forward looking nations or the
world are again being called upon 70
go out in battle against autocracies ana
tyrannles such as are found In the
German empire. America Is as truly
ordained to engage IN the great war as
we're the lsmelites, and for much the
same reasons. God still works through
nations as we'll as individuals to &C
complish his purpose.
And God must be as much con-
cerned about the success OF real de-
mocracy in the twentieth century as
he Is recorded 20 have been In the
social and economic welfare Of the Is
raelites.
He is just as much concerned with
the needs Of the "Belgianites" and
"Russianites" and the "Englishites" as
he was In the welfare Of the lsnaelites.
the Hittltes. the Jesubites, and the
Amalekltes.
And if he encouraged warfare TO
discipline men and to bring about re-
forms In times Of old-and he did-he
must be not less anxious to bring about
Justice and fair nlnv i'm mOdprn fines
even at the cost of war.
GOD HIMSELF STILL USES
FORCE AND TAKES LIFE TO AC-
COMPLIsH HIS PURPOSE.
These battles of the lsraelites have
always had a peculiar interest for the
students OF the Bible. And those en-
gagged In the wars were regarded as
heroes Of an uncommon kind because
they fought for God" The American
boys who will go to the trenches in

 Some time ago a number of sailors on a torpedoed ship saved their lives at night by signaling to the rescuers with little eluectric flash lamps.

The Wrong Place.

The traveling man who had struck the sloweSt town in the country on Memorial day, and had not made q sale of anything, was writing back home. Gle had to pass the time away somehow, and there were no other travelling men near the place.)
 This is the conclusion of his eulogy to the town:
 This is the rottenest town I have ever struck, and l have met some mighty rotten ones. Today is Memorial day. They are making a big noise in this town. They all go out to decorate the graves of the dead in the west half of the burgh. but in reality the ones they should have decorated were the east side.

Washington.-Pro regula- tions of a sweeping character were written into the administration food control bill by the House.
 After several hours of parliament tary sparring. during which the pro- hibitory proposals were thrown out repeatedly on points of order, the pro hibition element got the upper hand and forced adoption of amendments which would forbid the use of any foodstuffs during the war for making intoXicants and would give the presi- dent authority to take over, in hlS discretion, all stocks of distilled li- quors.
 Then the House settled down to q long night session, with the prospect that a final vote on the bill might be taken some time between midnight and morning The leaders were de termined to vote before adjournment
 Action on the prohibition amend ments was taken in committee of the whole, and opponents of the proposals immediately began mastering their forces for a reconsideration when the bill comes up for final discussion in the House proper.
 Should the proposals finally survive in the House, fight will be made on them in the Senate. although much prohibition sentiment has been appar ent there and equally far-reaching amendments are pending.
 The amendment designed to cut eff manufacture of liquors was adopted, 132 to 114 It was submitted by Rep resentative Barkley of Kentucky Democrat. and would provide that no food. food material or feed could be used during the war for the manu- facture of alcohol or alcoholic beyer- ages except for governmental, indus trial. scientific. medicinal or sacIa- mental purposes.
 2 is provided that any person who wilfully violates the section shall upon conviction thereof be punished by d fine not exceeding $5,000 or hv Imprisonment for not more than two years, or both
