We have seen doctors, like Professor

simply advisory But there much that we can give up

There is value in compulsory sacrifice-if it be ad-
mitted that there is such thing Many people hardly
realized that they in the till they found that

shall be BETTER both spiritually and physically for the

There is great blessing that comes from community
In and suffering. We not all be soldiers but
all do something.
The reaction character can hardly help being good
The prophet Amos writes of those who ie upon beds Of
ivory, and abound with superfluties."
The fact that the government is taking taxes these

who are not thus affected should not give them up It
means rather tnat ey snouo rejoice taC tney nave the
opportunity to give them up without compuson. But
the voluntary surrender of these is not sacrifice
There can be sacrifice that does not hurt.

much of what they think is necessary to them they
