emancipation of men from the thraI- ilom of the ages. Russia has had her yoke broken by the slaughter of her sons, and we are hoping to see otlner thrones totter and crowns slip from proud heads and old houses of cen turies' standing topple by the same means since human captivities can only thus be broken
 It is the deep conviction of the en- frightened peoples of the world that we are facing this question, for them selves and for the generations that are to come; that this long battle of the ages must now be fought; that the hour has come for the characterization of the world. We are convinced that autocracy and this ghastly farce of monarchial rule have been the curse of the world and must ene; that free peoples must have their full chance to develop along the lines of their apti- tudes and native capacities; that any = thing short of unshackled freedom is the ghastliest stavesty and the arraign- ment of the sanity of the world if fur ther tolerated. Man must be free to come to his own. He may not, 'ines always use his freedom wisely, but he must have 1t.

Jesus Christ died to make all men free, and He makes us on .1ood Friday aware that our liberty in this great universe is bought with His blood. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission and no climb into the still heights for us and for all men.
 Are we in the interest of personal safety to refuse to bear our part in bringing in reign of universal fiber ty. fraternity, and equality upon the whole world2 We are going to help turn back this reig nof chaos and of the old night which would turn the world into a madhouse and we will help bring in the real cosmos of order and righteousness and democracy upon the earth. Once we cried for our death. We enlarge this noble self dedication into Give the nations liberty or give us death, and with this spirit I think we may advance and take our brothers share in the battle which is unto life or death for all the great peoples of the world. Whatever others may do, let us dedicate ourselves to the freedom and full enfranchisement, the complete democratization of all nations which aspire for the freedom of which we have been the outstanding exem- p1ars for 40 years of great history and achievement.

SAYS EVIL MORE
 HARMFUL THAN WAR.
Rev. S. H. Howe, D. D., Tells of Our
 Part in World Struggle.

War has it's evils, but there are evils more harmful and more destructive than war, said Rev. s. H. Howe D. D., pastor of Park Congregational church, in a forceful sermon delivered Good Friday morning at the church
 Dr. Howe took his text from John 3 :: 6, This is He that came by water and blood Jesus Christ, not by water orly. but by water and blood. He sail in part:
 We are spectators to a wild welter of world carnage and are now drawn into the churling maelstrom. The whole world seems coming to be a gigantic shamb1es and slaughter pen. Blood has been flowing in rivers, enough to float battleship. and is likely to con- tinue to f1ow.
 It is not a new thing in history Tut a very old and tried out thing. Enough blood has flown to make another Med iterranean. It has had the past for it's own and has the present and Eer- haps the future in hand It is not only the cost of progress but of exist ence. We can only get our chance to live by dying for it. It is an old, threadbare story till it seems instinct i've that everything is purchased with the sacrifice of life.
