SURSUM

By Marion couthOuy Smith Of the vigiantes
In every version of those Won
derful documents, the ancient
Liturgies, which are used in
part, or on occasions, by nearly
every Church in Christendom-
there is a passage of deep solem-
nifty, in which the minister
turns to the people, saying Lift
up your hearts" The response
is I'VE lift them up unto the
Lord" This occurs after a con-
fession of sins and humble ex.
preston of repentance. The adj
juration and response have in
them a profound note of hope
and exaltation. The significance
is tina. only the lifted heart, held
high il faith sa1-rUmage, can
bear the weight of guilt and
Christening, which would other
wise bring fear and discourage.
ment. Also, the heart is lifted in
revereree toward the great Pow,
er TO Whom alone belong the
issues of life and DEATH"
Now, in this terrible hour of
destiny, when all the hope of
the world depends on the bloody
struggle and unstinting sacrifice
of the people who see and know
the truth, and are willing to suf-
fer and die for it, the time has
come for the "Sursum corda."
Only the lifted heart can lift the
load, and believe steadfastly in
the ultimate triumph of right
over wrong only the lifted heart
can endure unto the end" The
time is dark with doubt and ter
ror; sometimes the balance
seems almost even, as the strife
rocks back and forth. Then
come the voices that say, 1--WE
can never win. There must be a
compromise" And the faith of

men is assailed by the dreadful
cutlery for peace,-the demand
for the treasure before it has
been earned by the last and ut
most effort.
1t has been well said that this
war will be won by the people
whose morale remains unshak-
en-. The spirit that fails and gives
way before evil, as in Russia,
is the deadliest menace among
all the foes that assail us, both
within and without. Faith, and
faith only, viii remove this
mountain of woe. In whatever
way your faith is manifested
with whatever prayer or song
sor act-it is your greatest ele-
ment Of strength on the rough
road to victory.
Lift up your hearts and keep
them lifted, and help others to
lift theirs. Every discouraging
word, every sign and shake Of
the head, is so much strength
taken away from your own soul
or another's. No one can yet
measure the magnitude of the
task ahead of us, a task for
which, in this country, we have
b e-en shamefully unprepared.
But destiny still waits and with
double effort, we can fight our
way to the goal. Only believe
that a Power ultimately invinci-
BILE fights with us for a just and
mighty cause; and that, since
humanity can no more live with
out justice, mercy and truth
than without air to breathe, so
the way to these vital things
will at last be made clear. We
are on this planet we must pIay
our part in its destiny, every one
Of us. 1t we shirk, if we cry and
mourn, ifswe predict evil, or by
any means encourage it, we post
pone by so much the great day
of peace and light. Every moth
er's tear, every word of grief
or despair, helps to fling back
some striving spirit. Every soul
now has a sword and a shield in
hand; and the shield is, the
Shield of faith"
Be strong then, and help
otSiiers to be strong. Keep the
vision before your eyes; and
highest destiny call to you
Lift up your hearts!' be ready
with the swift and solemn re.
Spouse, I'VE lift them up unto
the Lordl"

EFT TU BRUTUS.

The Kansas Notes" editor of
the Kansas City Star prints an
item from the Smith County
Pioneer" (Kansas) in which it
relates how Frank Mahin
brought his son, Hilary, to Lex
ington to enter Wentworth, but
after Investigating round
fourseem saloons running wide
onen. He decided the town was
no good place for Hillary" SC
Hilary returned with papa and
enrolled in the st. John Military
School at Salina, Kansas.
We have no fault to find with
the Smith County Pioneer" for
relating Mr.. Mahin's experience
in Lexington, for if Mr.. Mahin
acted from his own personal ex-
perience and spoke authoritive-
ly on fourteen saloons running
wide open," he did right in hur-

GOOD OF COMPANY MANNERS
obviates Arguments, Harsh Language,
Critielsms and Other Features
In Ordinary Home Life.

There isn't any trouble in the home
when there Is company In the house.
Everything runs smoothly, as rule,
AYERS the Columbus Dispatch. The
children are better behaved, regard
less Of what mother says about it /;
father Is more patient. There is no
.quarreling among the children-when
there is company. Everything Is clean
er, and more orderly, and voices are
lowered, and correct language is used.
Which is to say, wouldn't it be a
blessed good thing to have company
manners" in the home all the time? To
have the breakfast pass off as quietly
to have as little harsh language; to do
away with the usual family criticisms
wouldn't it be glorious If we used
company manners" whether there is
company present or not?
It would be an awful strain for a
while, to be sure. The whole family Is
under a strain when there's company
In the house. But the general effect
would justify the strain. There would
come time when it wouldn't be any
strain at all ; it would become habit.
Table manners would be improved,
conversation would be more rational,
criticism would be less bitter, dispo-
sitions would mature with the sweet
ness Of ripened fruit that has grown
In the sunlight.
