LOYALTY.

nv bo tiLic III oiic hiotci4 Va tht
world mas there been as great APP
peal to all classes and races for
loyalty as at this time. Christ in
talking to the people in His day
was forced to convey spiritual
truths through simple illustra-
tions, using the parable of the
sower when talking to farmers
and the shepherd and sheep when
talking to herdsmen. Through
things with which they we're fam
liar it was possible for Him to
convey spiritual ideas to people
whose conception of things and
truths was 80 low that in
no other way could they be made
to understand. No individual or
people can go beyond their CON
ception. Christ could not talk to
the people of His day of the aero
plane, the telephone, wireless tel
egragh or the Photograph in way
that they could have conceived of
their philosophy. or the possibil.
ity of their existence. Two thous-
and years of civilization and ad-
vancement have brought US to a
new conception of things. We
realize to day that the earth is the
basis of all harvest from which
her inhabitants must be fed. 1t
is also the basis upon which rest
all of the great superstructures of
the ages, and in spiritual sense
we realize what the earth is to all
things else, the spirit of JUS
TICE BETWEEN MAN AND
MAN is to all religion, life devel-
opment and hope of hereafter.
Any religion that is not based up
on the principles Of justice be-
tween man and man is not worthy
of its name. What is true in this
sense of all things else is true of
the term LOYALTY. Loyalty
to whatl The black man to the
white manf No. Loyalty to the
American flag as nations's EN-
blem2 No. Bot LOYALTY To
the principles of justice between
man and man upon which the
glorious American flag is based
1t is that principle as seen
in "Old Glory" that
calls for the sacrifice of
our savings and our lives. re no
people in the world should the
call of the spirit of our pation's
flag appeal with greater force
than to the American Negro.
Justice between man and will
eventually announce itself as the
only basis for wold's religion
And this principle of JUSTICE
BETWEEN MAN AND MAN is
the only thing that is worth fight
ing for, everything else that
serves as basis for the superb
oritv of one race or nation over
another should be shot to death
before the guns in our pre- sent
conflict cease firing Let us play
that every life that shall be Civ
en-, every ounce OF blood that
shall be shed and every dollar
that shall be spent in the void 5
great conflict will go toword
teaching LOYALTY to the prin-
eiple of JUSTICE BETWEEN
MAN AND MAN.
