TO the Nth power.
It is easy to dispose of this, as yet
furtive but steadily increasing, desire
for peace by pinning to it the label of
German propaganda. But this will not
suffice.
That the world is war weary is only
too true. France and England have
had this blood sickness on the partt Of
their people to contend with for a long
time. Its effect on Russia has been
demonstrated.
We, in America, have but COM
menced our share of suffering and sac

allowed to spread before the road is
half travelled there can be no doubt as
to our destination Open hostility TO
England, frank sympathy with Ger

effect upon our part in the struggle
and the destiny of the world-which
now admittedly rests upon our Shout

wars ending simply that peace may
reign. Peace today, with Germany I'M
defeated, would be living menace to
America as q nation and to every man,
woman and child Who wish to continue
to be known as Americans.

reallzed-ls worth all the sacrifices
the war has entailed upon humanity.
Verify, the old riddle of Samson is
applicable here: From the fierce
has come forth the sweet" Out of
the darkness of this war has risen
new star of hope for the world.
If this principle is SO far true, that
from the evil that man does God
produces good, may we not extend
it's sphere of operation, and say that
all evil results in some good?
Whether it is evil wrought by man,
or evil produced by any other agen-
cy or force, some good, yea, greater
and more lasting good, is it's ulti-
mate outcome. So that from high
er point of view, there is no abso-
lutte evil at all. 1t all answers some
good purpose. Do not confound
this thought with that silly modern
doctrine that there is no real evil
at all, that it is all imaginary, the
product of mortal mind. Mortal
mind is all the mind we mortals
have. Nay, evil, while it lasts, and
as far as our sensations go, is real
enough; trouble, disease, pain, part
ing, heartache, death-they are all
real to us. We feel the pangs and
the agony. It is only the dead, the
insensib1e dead, to whom nothing
matters. But we who live, feel and
suffer real pain, just as we feel and
enjoy real pleasure. It is the same
nerves that convey to Our minds
the sensations of pain as we'll as of
pleasure. We cannot deny the real
existence of evil, for we feel the pain
it inficts. We are not made of
wood or stone, but of flesh and
blood, and nerves, and brain GEN.

But in the wisdom of God all evil
is used for greater good. I should
say that from the divine point OF
view, if we can only raise ourselves
to such a point of view, there is no
absolute evil. That is perhaps the
most satisfactory answer to the
problem of evil, the most trouble
some problem to the religious mind
and the religious philosopher. If
God is the creator of the world and
the author of all life, and if he is
a good and merciful God, loving
Father, as we teach, why did he not
create a different world for us, one
without evil? Why did he not order
human Life differently. without

wink OF the eye, then, perhaps, we
should see quite clearly that there is
no absolute evil in the world, that
it all corresponds to a beautiful,
benefcent, well-arranged plan, in
spite of the fact that when evil
comes, it is real enough to us, and
we feel it's painfulness keenly. But
it somehow fits into the entire plan,
which is good.
Even when we consider the i'm
mediate consequences of whatever
i'll comes to us, we can often see
the benehcent divine purpose of it.
Bodily pain is a great evil. Only
those who have suffered it, whose
bodies have been racked by it, who
have tossed in agony on their rest
less couch, realize it. And yet what
is pain but an admonition, warn
ing of bodily arrangement, of
lesion in some Of the tissues of our
organism, or of some impurities in
it, of poison in our system, brought
on by our carelessness, the disre-
gard or the violation of the laws of
health, of wholesome and moderate
living? What is it but warning
that we should take care, repair the
injured part, mend our ways, and sin
no more? That is the good that
results from the evil of pain. Pain?
The greatest miracle of God, every
new birth, comes in the midst Of
pangs and throes. Such is Gods
way. Why, then, should we not be-
1ieve that God uses every other kind
of pain that we suffer in the same
wise, gracious, tho to us often in
comprehensive, way? What is more
painful than separation and parting,
the parting of fond hearts? Many
mother, many young wife, many a
sweetheart has experienced this pain
during the last war. They saw their
beloved ones taken from them, taken
for no one knew how long, taken
far away from them, taken on ven
ture that involved hardships and
perils, wondering whether they
would ever see their dear ones again.
And, indeed, to some it was not
granted to see them again, Pain?
What is more painful than that sep
aration and parting that is final,
from which we know there can be
no return, the parting in death, when
a beloved one is taken to his eternal
rest? Yet, if Gods thoughts are
not our thoughts. and Gods WAYS

pure gold OF our nature, to develop
our courage, patience and fortitude,
is not the pain of parting, disap-
pointment, and loss a part of life's
discipline? One of the most neces-
sary lessons of life is, that our
thought, our hope, our love, our de-
sire, our longing must not become
centered in the things we possess,
whether it is wealth, or honor, or the
love of our dear ones Religiously
speaking, nothing we possess is our
own. There is higher power that
gives us whatever we call our own,
that enables us to acquire it; and
that may take it away from us.
There is deep religious truth in
the doctrine that we are only the
trustees of the blessings we possess,
given to us to- manage and admins
ter for time. Perhaps in the wis
dom of Providence we are not faith
fully, wisely and efficiently admin
istering our trust From this point
of view we must ever be prepared to
relinquish and surrender whatever
we have, and to realize that we are
surrendering that which is not our
own at all, and be satisfied, and re-
sumo Our allotted tasks with the
same brave hearts and contented
minds as BEFORE This is life's great
lesson. If the pain of parting and
loss means such discipline for us,
does not such evil too result in
good?
And, lastly, consider Our own de-
parture, something we must all ex-
pect, our own final exit from this
life. Reason as we may, it is not a
pleasant prospect, tho we know it
is inevitable. Somehow we all cling
to life; it means much to us. We
hate to leave it. Death is common
ly looked upon as the greatest ca
lamity. Yet, if good flows from all
evil, who can deny that at the por-
tails of the grave we may be entering
upon greater and more lasting bliss
than this life ever affords us? Who
can take this hope and faith from
us? What is true of all evil, shall
it not be true of this, too? The
religious man, therefore, can face
all the ills, even the grave, without
fear, and say in the words of Joseph
"You have meant evil for me; but
God has meant it for good"

 the houses were completed in accord ance with the plans and specifications, but the first five were accepted. Of the remaining l 4 the defects were in part remedied by the plaintiff and the cost included in the amount paid. He finds that owing to the defects which could not be remedied without taking the houses down there is a decrease in value of s10,205 which should be deducted from the contract price. He finds no damage for the failure to complete within the time limit, as that was waived, and finds that the balance due Sachs is $8,694.29,
 Other counts in the complaint are eliminated in the finding either as having not been proved or causing no damage to the complaint. Shannon & Wilder conducted the case for Sachs before the court and the committee, the hearinsg occurring at intervals over a period of several weeks.
