The message indicated Pershinx

He did this without condemning the

speak in Indianapolis ON Wednesday
evening, February 13. at Hollenbeck
Hall on the subject of "Woman's Part
in Winning the War;" under the
auspices OF the Woman's Section of

The lecture will be free to tho public.
Miss Katharine Merrill Graydon,

ton of the Woman's Section, says of
Miss Fraser: "She was chosen by
Lloyd George to bring message from
the women Of Great Britain to the wo-
men of the United States. There is
assurance that her words will prove
an inspiration to our women. The
British women have been so pictur-
esque that their story cannot be heard
without making every listener very
ardent in her desire to do war service.

self smitten he did not turn the other
cheek, but calmly rebuked the smiter
and demanded justice John xviii. 23).
A. H. Rihbany, born and reared in the
Lebanon, says in his Syrian Christ,
page us: "A Syrian's chief purpose
in a conversation is to convey an i'm
preston by whatever suitable means,
and not to deliver message in scien-
tifically accurate terms. He expects
to be judged, not by what he says, but
by what he means" Jesus was a
Syrian, and it is clearly the duty Of
his disciples to employ every means
at their disposal to find out what he
meant before committing him to the
ennunciation of law that would place
all the best things of life at the mercy
of thugs and lunatics.
Throughout the last half of the Fifth
Chapter of Matthew Jesus is engaged
in teaching that the sin does not con.
sist in tho mere outward act, which is
it's outgrowth, but in the inner purpose
of the soul. Hate, not simply killing;
lust, not Oh external act only: having
two standards of honor, not the mere
utterinS Of a legal oath-these are, &C
cording to him, the essence of sin.
Every consideration of sound exegesis
indicates that here he was teaching in
striking Syrian fashion that re-
venge is wrong, and even resistance
y hich springs from mere anger; that
q Christiar should always, even under
the most personal provocation, be mas
ter of his own spirit. To interpret the
words so as to make Jesus command
us to stand by and see a murderer kill
a woman or child and life no hand, or
to command us to make no effort to
restrain robber nations from working
their murderous will on Serbia and
Belgium, is to do Jesus gross injustice.
New Sense of Gratitude.
1t is cause for gratitude that there
is growing among men a new sense
Of the sactedness Of human life. The
Friends have long tried to live SO as
to express to the world their sense of
it's sacred value. They have, some of
them, heroically suffered in this en-.
deavor. Socialists and others have
now CRASHED the truth. A proper ap-
probation of this value promises in
time to ameliorate many human
wrongs. To hold, however, that life is
SO sacred that man may never take it

possession of physical life of more
"alue than liberty, justice and right.
The evolutionary process has been
Gods method of creation. That pro-
cess involved in the taking OF many
lives by other finite beings. They were
Gods agents in carrying on the evolu.
tionary process. Christ brought to
earth the ideal of a universal brother
hood. When his spirit and that ideal
