THE HUSKS AND
NOT THE GRAIN

"If thou hadst known, even thou,
the day of thy visitation"
The words OF the text are associated
with the great triumph in the life of
the Christ, the time when men sought
by force to take Him and make Him
king Yet these words of solemn
warning come to us at the time of His
triumph, they tell of the fall of His
beloved city and nation because they
had neglected to read the will of
God in the various manifestations
which He had made to the Chosen
People from the time of their earliest
history God had visited the people,
and so intent were they on their buy
side of life, on the obedience to the
outward when the inner man needed
cleansing. that they failed to hear the
voice of God, and the warnings of his
tory.
For history is the voice of God.
And for men who have ears to hear
and eyes to see Divine Figure is
once more standing in the Market
Place, and in legislative hall. and
walking in silence through our be-
loved land. Never was there an hour
for Jerusalem or Athens, Carthage,
Venice or Florence, that held more
solemn issues for decision than this
hour for the republic. What are the
signs of the times? Jerusalem fell
the leaders had lost the great con-
victions. Athens fell-she became
frivolous and lost the serious note.
Rome declined because her manhood
decayed Florence fell because she
lost her love of liberty, and the heroic
spirit passed away. The fall of a
city or a nation on the outside begins
with the waning of seriousness on the
inside. .-.>s.... ~
That which alarms the lover of his
country today is the decline in the
great convictions on the part of the
American people. Men have lost their
hold upon God. II is this note of dis
tinction that has gone out of much
of our modern literature The great
orators from ST. Paul and Domestic
mes to Burke and Webster and Lin
coin are concerned with the eternal
sanctions of God, duty, liberty. And
with the disappearance of the note of
conviction. greatness has departed
We are losing our power to distinguish
between the pipe organ and the banjo,
between the battleship and the pleas
ure yacht. between the stars and the
suffering torches. Therefore thought
ttl men and women are raising tlI"
question whether or not this. republic

is not making the great refusal and is
starting toward the rubbish heap.
The decline in seriousness, the loss
of simplicity, the increase of frivolity

conditions of life in the republic.

but in our own land, while at the same
time the rich feast at $50 plate, and

peoples gathered outside the palatial
hotels. The truth comes to us from
another angle. The republic has de-
cIined in the realm of the intellect and
genius. Twenty years ago there we're

today there are 1900 In proportion
to our population this republic pub
fishes and reads one book while Eu-
rope reads five books. When times
of moral flabbiness come. and consei-
ence is relaxed, and frivolity in
creases and temptations come in like
flood, there comes also the time of
warning lest we fall, by making the
great refusal. and lose our oppor-
tunity
A Lenten season should mean
time of great heart searching, time
of consideration, not only of the indi-
yidual, but also of the community. the
state, the nation But how are We
considering this period of preparation
for the great victory of the Christ?
How are we placing spiritual things
first in our thoughts. in our lives2 In
the midst of international conflict.
when the life of the republic has been
threatened, when we are confronted
with foes without and with foes with
in. how many are there who are will
ing to forego the little pleasure or dis
traction, that they might plead the
cause of our republic. our beloved
land, before the courts of Almighty
God? Our hope is in the revival Of
the great ideals of our fathers. Cursed
with moral illiteracy, threatened with
race strife, STEPPED in the spirit Of
frivolity and pleasure, endangered by
mammnnism, the appeal must be TO
the great. noble faith Of the noblest
men of all ages oh Jerusalem, il
