Must Keep Morals Clear.

"Second-In a time like this the ma
ton must keep its moral distinctions
clear and its moral emphasis steady.
The nation that can and does do this
may gather In its churches in genuine
thanksgiving and sing its anthems with
full heart. We are eager for victory.
but far more eager for honor and for
righteousness. The current war Is full
of tragedies. none more deadly than
its moral collapses in high places. The
soul that sinneth. be it mans or ma
tons soul, it shall die.
"Germany's defense as made by Ger
many's scholars. is a black, black page
in the moral life of the whole world.
Now, we must keep our moral dis
tinctions clear. our sense Of real values
sharp. our devotion to moral principles
forever vigorous. If we are to have
an abiding ground OF Thanksgiving.
For this is our victory-not that we
have overcome the world, but that we
have kept the faith.

Must Reconsecrate Itself.

'Third-In a time like this the ma
tion must reconsecrate itself to moral
purposes. to eternal principles. to COM
p1ete the work of Jesus Christ in the
world. Our Thanksgiving depends upon
1t. Giving lie more blessed than re-
ceiving. serving more worthy than
being served. We are an elect nation
elect from every nation; elect that In
US the nations of the earth may be
blessed.
"a recent gathering adopted this
word: The. nation is in the balance
home Is in the balance. civilization lie
in the balance. religion IS in the bal
and of good report are in the balance
And the great God thinks well enough
of us to call us to take up mighty
load for a lordly burden and bear 1t
with a singing heart. We love the
load and will bear 1t in the name of
Christ the Lord. To help him save
the world and make our beloved Amer
lea immortal shall be the endeavor OF
our happy coming years.
1T is not a time for shallow rejoic-
ing or gratitude, that can eat, drink
and be merry, nor a time for blind
fatalistic belief that everything Is all
right. nor day for eul1en spirit. We
are anointed that the deaf may hear
the blind see. tho lame walk. captives
be set at liberty. Then let US rejoice
and be glad with a sober Joy. giving
thanks even as the Master did on the
night when He was betrayed. For
this way victory lies for US and the
world"

HIGH IDEALS PLEA OF
BISHOP MCDOWELL
Continued from First Pase.)

report must now shape our lives. There
will come other years for us and our
children when we and they must kneel
in a thousand churches and sit in a
million homes and thank God that we
did not let our standards down in the
day of storm.
I'VE have come again into the syna-
gogue with the Lord of all life to stand
on our feet beside Him and reverently
repeat with Him those noble old words:
The spirit of the Lord is upon me, for
He hath anointed me- Not all wars
are equally noble. Some do not drive
men to God by any natural process.
Some arise from the pit and have In
them the spirit of the pit. God help
America and all our allies that this war
may spiritualize and uplift US as sons
Of God!

ly passed the incident by as a casual
occurrence Of no further interest. The
superintendent did not know his EN-

was a practical young business man

cism In his nature. Something In the
sweet face Of the Professors daughter
had stirred responding chord In his
nature. There was purity, sweet

to rest his soul wildly. In contrast
