upon what you have or upon what
you are? Is it joy which can abide
even under the circumstances of Sor-
row? Or is it taken away when
losses come into your life? 1t is said
that little girl came running to her
mother in tears one day and ask
ing: Mamma. how can l UNtrou-
bic trouble?" Jesus is the only one
who gives an answer to the child's
question.
Nv. "Greater Love-"
In these terrible days of the great
est war in history we are thinking
much of the words of Jesus: Great
er love hath no man than this: that
man lay down his life for his friends"
Mothers have been doing this for
their children for countless ages. The
pages Of history record the sacrifice
of others who have done this. Life
takes on new meaning when it is Civ
Ell to make others free. God must
surely have some reward for those
who lay down their lives for others.
Even if they are not processing
Christians" there is something God
must be able to do for this vast mul-
titude. Just what redemptive proc
eSSeS go on in their lives we may not
be able to say. Many thousands of
little testaments have been given to
the soldiers at the front. Each one
contains declaration of Christian
purpose and Il desire to serve God. 1t
is interesting to know that many of
these declarations have been signed
by the soldiers. We ought to pray
much for those who are fighting great
battles for freedom and to think much
of the debt we owe them. They come
from other lands now. but it may not
be long before the boys from uor own
homes will be actually engaged in the
great struggle.
