Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1917-11-29

heart had been rendered by the wall
from the pillaged lands Of Europe, the
helpless victims of hate and lust. But
not until the Lusitania was sunk in
mid ocean by a German torpedo did We
enter the war. Forbearance had
ceased to be a virtue and fight we
must. Since that good day of heroic
decision we have been surprised daily
by the magic with which our nation has
modified and equipped and practically
trained a great army of the best SOL
diers that ever marched to do battle.
Who would not thank God for such an
army?
1T is GODS ARMY.
1T is Gods army modified to de-
liver mankind from despotism and pre-
pare the world for the oncoming Mil
lenium. 1t is an army of Bible readers.
Every American soldier has been
equipped with New Testament, which
is the sword OF the spirit. They are
reading the word, too. The Y. M. c.
A. and other Christian forces are car
ing zealously for the physical, mental
and moral interests.
But the whole tone of the religious
trend is toward unity. Denomination
alism is being outdistanced and by the
time the war Is over will be beyond
recovery. AS the allies are uniting for
the duration of the war in order to win.
SO must Gods armies unite in order to
WIN the age-long war against the
DEVIL Linked up with the Y. M. c. A.
are the knights of Columbus and the
Young Mems Hebrew association and
other kindred forces. This compul-
sorry affiliation will do much toward
the perpetual unity of Christian work
after the war is over. God has been
getting the church ready for this for
century. His hand is upon the church
today. 1t will not fail.
This army is an army of abstainers
The recent victories for prohibition IN
America has made this possible. When
this army comes marching home it will
storm the strongholds of John Barley
corn and drive him into the deep sea.
This army is enlisting in the clean
when Christian knighthood will be in
flower.
CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE.
+ "Once more we suggest a cause for
gratitude. The world is learning that
| it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive. God is going to cure the world
of the sin of coveteousness. He is dis
sipating the horded treasures of the
centuries. The peanut policy in church
| finances will be abandoned. The day
is at hand when the leaders of the
forces of God will profit by the wisdom
of men and Gods money will be poured
out lavishly for the kingdom. The
bride of Christ viii no longer be COM
PEELED to go about as a beggar while
men are living in luxury and rolling in
wealth. The charity ball will be ta-
booed and the church bazaar will be
discontinued along with other kindred
means of money raising. Both men
and women VIII learn to 1.-THE their in
comes for the glory of God and give
largely of their substance in thank Of
ferings. The grace of gratitude will
| trans the earth and make the
church ready for the millennium"
