The Church And The War
The Heart of the Nation Must
Beat Full and Strong if
the War is Won.

This appeal is voiced by one, but
felt by thousands. Keep the church
es of all the denominations at full
pulse beat if the war is to be won.
Prussianism throttled Germany's
churches, corrupted her philosophy,
diluted, weakened, poisoned her
Christianity, and then set the world
on fire with the flames of war.
The German Church slaekened, +,
weakened, lost its power. 1t neg
lected its altar fires, its pristine glory
dimmed, its forces were harnessed
for material service to the nation
that is now plunging itself into de-
struction.
Had the German Church main
tanned its full power and purity in
ardent, spiritual constant devotions,
with the fires of its affairs ever burn
ing, it might have stayed the hand
that plunged the world in war.
Woodrow Wilson insists that the
school, college, universities be kept
constantly open and in full service,
that their tremendous force and ten
sion for national action and conser-
vation be not slackened.
Woodrow Wilson desires that the
churches be in full force and action.
He is a Christian statesman and
philosopher.
A really distressing shortage of
coal, absolute physical necessity, may
close the churches for the briefest
period of time. So it may close the
banks, stop the trains, close the
schools. But these institutions will
quickly bridge over and resume &C
ton, for business and the nations
sake.
The churches must be in full and
constant actionior spiritual service
or the nation will soon lose its
spirit and forget its slogan for right
eousness and justice in war.
If the churches are to retrench in
expenses let it be in social lines, in
Easter and other season decorations,
and picnic expenditures, in art ex-
travagances and expensive choir
/. services.
Let midweek prayer services and
Sunday evening worship and mes
sages be intensified and enlivened
rather than abated or omitted.
Let the churches commadeer fac
tory blocks, yard pickets, goods
boxes, old boards from waste build
ings, any thing the government
would use on emergency, to keep
fires and full service. Patriotism
and war needs demand it. The
Christian religion and the life of the
churches and of souls urgently re-
quire it. Do not let the houses OF
worship be closed at all.
The Heart of the Nation Must
Beat Full and Strong if the War is
Won. w. L. DOWNING.
