New Submarine Peril
Like Napoleonic Shadow

But, essentially a seafaring peo-
pie. the British have felt the new
challenge Of the submarine and the
new peril to their existence as hey
felt the shadow of Napoleonic in
yasion when the great Emperor
stood on the cliffs at Boulogne, where
British Tommies now rest in the
sun in the convalescent camps that
cover the highland.
Before the war. during all the
early period of the war, the British
nation refused to believe that the
German danger was real. Britain
went to war in something between
the spirit Of a picnic and the emo
ton of a man lost in a fog. A year,

Not Bitter at Germans,
But Mourn Destruction

| do not think 1t IS possible 10 de-
scribe the bitterness in the hearts
of educated Englishmen as a result
of this war. Not bitterness toward
the Germans, but bitterness because
all that was beautiful, all that they
cared for and loved in life, is going
down 10 destruction. For such
Englishmen the war is horror be-
ycnd horrors, the more terrible be-
cause they had believed, thousands
Of them, that there could be no such
thing again in human history. 1t
has come, it has taken away their
dreams and their world, it has killed
many of their best friends, il is
eating up the best brains and the
/ best hearts of the country; one must
fight, one will fight, but no fighting
can kill the hatred Of the thing, can
make one recognize the war itself as
anything but a supreme abomination.
The Englshman has not been a
soldier, and he will not under any
circumstances think Of himself as a
! soldier. The German assault has
taken him out Of all he loves and
/ thrust a gun or a sword in his
hands. 1t has compelled him to fight,
and he was unwilling to fight, not
because he was afraid or unpatriotic,
but because war was thing he
loathed as a civilized man; but you
cannot help feeling the determination
that is in his mind that it shall not
militarize, Prussianize him, that he
shall not emerge German because he
has had to do, from necessity, what
the German did from choice.
Ny guide at the British front was
a former dramatic critic and edi-
torial writer of one of the most
celebrated of British journals. He
had written over and over again
that war was impossible. But when
war came he had dyed his hair,

the recruiting agent, reached the
trenches and risen by effort to the
perilous eminence Of bombing ser
geant. Another guide, also far be-

ming races as much as we think and
talk about our baseball and football
games.
Knowing this, Paul uses an illustra-
ton that would attract their attention
and impress them with the great Chris
tian truth he wishes to teach.- That
truth is the future reward those Chris
tians obtain who faithfully serve the
Lord Jesus Christ in this life.
The figure is that of a running race.
In a real race anyone may not run
just because he wishes to do so. He
must have certain qualifications and'be
properly entered in the race.
And 1t is 80 in the Christian ace
Of which Paul writes. One must be a
Christian before he can enter that
race, and all people are not Chris
tians.
But who is a Christian? Some think
they are Christians because they are
not %heathens, or because they live in
q Christian land, or because their pa
rents were Christians, or because they
try to live a moral life, OF because they
attend church or Sunday school.
But this Is not right. Paul teaches
in anouer place III Cor. 5:17), that a
Christian is a new creature, or a new
creation altogether; and this agrees
with what Jesus Christ said: Except
a man be born again, he cannot see the
kingdom Of God" (JOhn 3:3).
And how may one be born again?
The gospel Of John, 1:12, Ii wv
that question when, speaking of Jesus
Christ, 1t says: "As many as received
him, to them gave he power to become
the sons of God, even to them that be-
lieye on his name, which we're born,
not Of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor Of the will Of man, but Of
God"
We see that to be born again Is to re-
ceive Jesus Christ as our Savior. And
to receive him as our Savior is to be-
lieve on him, to put u trust in him
to be saved, and pledge ourselves by
his grace to follow him as our Lord.
Have you done that as yet? If not,
why not do SO as you listen to this mes
sage? Why not say in your heart, II
do now receive Jesus Christ as my Sa-
vlOr, and henceforth l will confess him
as my Lord" This is to believe on
him, and to be born again and to be-
come a new creature.
