for democracy and .autocracy cannot exist side by side. A state of war was recognized by congress, and thus re- luctantly we were brought Into the world conflict, after the president had done everything that could fairly be done to avoid the catastrophe. Now that we are In the war we see, with clearer vision, that 1t was inevitable that We should go in, for it is our war as much as the war of England and France. It is a war to preserve our rights and our liberties as much as theirs.
 Fight IS Universal.
 It is now evident to all thinking Americans that Germany must be con Quered or else Germany will conquer us along with the rest of the world. There have been many fights for free dom since the beginning of history, but they were merely local, while this Is universal. There have been many wars for the liberty of 8 race, while this war is for the liberty of all man kind. Other wars have been waged to free one people, while this war is not only to keep ourselves free but to make free humanity of every race and of every creed. The outcome will de- termlne whether the world win be all democratic or all autocratic. whether government of the people and by the people shall obtain throughout the earth or shall perish everywhere.

LEST WE FORGET
 (Continued from Yesterday.

It is well for us to pause for a mo- ment to look back on these things. We were skeptical at first, but time has shown their truth, for they arc of a piece with the things that hayo happened since. They belong with the Lusitania and the little fishing boats. With the attacks on London. With liquid fire.
 We are people of homes. Politics means little to us; the Quarrels Of Europe nothing. But here Is an enemy which has marched over the homes of a nation and wantonly destroyed them. Here Is an enemy that took the women and children out of these homes and with that pitiful advance guard, drove ahead. Again and again innocent civilians of both sexes were sacrificed to protect the invading army"
 It is for the home we are fighting today. Democracy will live. because the principle of a free people win never die. Liberty will survive, go long as the soul is greater than the body. But the world will go on and progress only when we have placed on the llntel of each door in every land the sign, in blood If 1t must be, that the covenant of the weak and the unprotected must be kept.

AGTO GOOD American can
 W&B question the justice of our fN entering the war with Ger OHASNN many, unless he be ignor-
 @B ant of why we did so. We
 ". have viewed for years the preparations for war being made by Germany. little dreaming that they might concern us, though occasionally there was apprehension as to the am bltiOn of the German rulers to be to the modern world what the Roman rulers were to the world of their time. When the day came for which Ger many had been so long preparing she suddenly hurled her tremendous mlli- tary forces at the adjoining nations. Americans read with amaZement of the ruthless violation of the rights Of neutrals and the reckless disregard Of treaty obligations on the part or Ger many, but the war in its beginning seemed remote from our affairs and not necessarily 10 affect American rights. There were advocates of each of the contending nations among us, and strict neutrality was maintained. The cruel treatment of the conquered and enSlaved Belgians excited our sympathy and aroused our resent ment, but there was no certainty then that these acts hud the approval Of the German rulers, so the American republic remained neutral, and the American people hoped against hope that America might not become In. volved.
 As events followed events and the frlghtfulneSS of the German military policy became more and more evident those among us who SympathiZed with the German cause were little by little alIenat2d. There was still an under current of hope that We might not be drawn into the terrible conflict. Pres ident Wilson endeavOred in every way possible, consistent with the national honor and dignity, to avert the dls- aster of war. On May 27, 1916, he urged the warning nations to state their peace terms, and pledged that the United States would become a partner in any scheme of lasting peace. The answer of Germany was evaslve and unsatisfactory. Then came the sinking of the Lusitania and the wan ton murder by drowning of hundreds of noncombatant American men and helpless women and children. This act was so consclenceleSs and inhu- man, so contrary to all the rules of civilized warfare, that shudder of horror ran throughout the American republic, and the few remaining sym pathIzerS with the German cause saw they could no longer continue their friendship for any nation guilty of such deliberate acts Of brutality and savagery.
 President Was Patient.

President Was Patient.

The demand came from end to end of the nation to declare war against this monster which was running amuck among the nations. The president, however, was patient. He hesitated to lead the nation into the awful vOr- tex of war and endeavored to save the national honor without that dire neces- sity. He wrote a note of protest to the German rulers. They promised they would sink no more merchant ships without warning, and for time 1t was thought that the crisis might pass, but 1t was only hope to those who realized the German purpose of world domination. The president calm ly waited, ignoring the malignant crl- ticism and bitter attacks of some of those who insisted that We could no longer honorably remain out of the conflict.
 AS late as January %, 1917, the pres ident addressed the senute, urging plan of lasting peace among the na- tions through international arrange ment. A few days thereafter 1t be- came known that on January Is. 1917, the German rulers had sent a secret note to Mexico and Japan, attempting to unite them In a war against the United States, and promising to give Mexico in turn part of the United States. Then Germany notified our government that 1t would no longer keep its promise not to sink merchant ships without warning. By plain i'm piication 1t admitted that It had given this promise merely to gain time for preparation for warfare of hideous frightfulnesS. What was to be done? Every effort of diplomacy had been ex- hausted. American ships were being sunk without warning, the American flag was being lnsulted and fired upon, American men and women were being butchered, the mailed fist of Germanys war lord was being shaken at Amer lean institutions. German spies in- fested our country, endeayoring to h. cite discOntent. strikes, and even civil war. It was plain that the German autocracy regarded this republic with contempt. and Its entrance or nonen- trance into the war as matter of in- difference. National honor and na- tional safety demanded that something should be done. Submission to such wrongs would have been unpardonable national cowardice. Only one thing could be done, all other means having been exhausted. The American peO- ple then realized that, If the German autocracy should overcome the Euro pean allies, our turn would be next. We had to fight to save our honor. to save our national existence, and to Ssve democracy throughout the world,

Standing on the Rock"
Twenty seven years ago, with the Holy Spirit
for my guide, | entered this wonderful temple
that we call Christianity [ entered through
the portico Of Genesis and walked down through
the Old Testament art gallery, where | saw the
portraits Of Joseph, Jacob, Daniel, Moses,
Isaiah. Solomon and David hanging on the wall;
I entered the music room of the Psalms and the
Spirit of God struck the keyboard Of my nature
until it seemed to me that every reed and pipe
in Gods great organ of nature responded to
the harp of David and the charm OF King
Solomon in his moods.
walked into the business house OF Proverbs
walked into the observatory OF the prophets
and there saw photographs OF various Sizes
some pointing to far-off stars or events = all
concentrated upon one great Star which was to
rise as an atonement for sin.
Then I went into the audience room OF the
King of kings, and got vision from four diff
ferent points = from Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John | went into the correspondence room,
and saw Peter, James, Paul and Jude, penning
their epistles to the world. went into the Acts
Of the Apostles and saw the Holy Spirit form

the throne room and saw door at the foot OF

there, fair as the morning, Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, and found this truest friend that
man ever knew; when all were false I found
Him true.

Entering the Portico, in Genesis, he passed
through the Portrait Galleries Of the Historical
Books, extending to the end Of the Kingdom
found the Music Room, in the Psalms = where
the Spirit, sweeping the keyboard Of human
nature touches every chord, from the low moan
Of the Fifty first all dripping with tears, ''Have
mercy upon me, O God," to the swelling note
Of the Twenty fourth, "Lift up your heads, 0
We gates;' passed through the Business Office,
in Proverbs; the Chapel in Ecclesiastes, echoing
with the voice Of the Preacher; the Conserva-
tory, in the Song Of Solomon, fragrant with
the Rose Of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley
with all trees Of frankincense, with pleasant
fruits and with all spices, smelling like Leba-
non; then looked into the Observatories of the
Prophets, with telescopes Of various sizes, point
ing some toward near and some toward distant
stars, but all brought to bear upon the Bright
and Morning Star about to arise. Passing on
he entered the Audience Chambers Of the King
Himself, in the Gospel viewing his Lord from
four standpoints; next witnessed the Holy
Spirit performing His office work in the Acts;
inspected the Correspondence Rooms, in the
Epistles = with Paul and Peter and James and
John and jude each at his desk; and finally
gazed upon the dazzling splendors Of the Throne
Room, in the Revelation.

A DREAM OF HEAVEN
:'Some years ago. after I had been romping
and playing with the children, grew tired and
lay down, and half awake and half asleep, | had
a dream.
II dreamed [ was in a far-off land it was not
Persia, but all the glitter and gaudy raiment
were there; it was not India, although her coral
strands were there; it was not Ceylon although
all the beauties Of that island Of paradise were
there; it was not Italy, although the soft
dreamy haze of the blue Italian skies shone
above me. I looked for weeds and briars,
thorns and thistles and brambles and found
none. [ saw the sun in all it's regal splendor
and [ said to the people, 'When will the sun
set and it grow dark?"
''They all laughed and said: 1T never grows
dark in this land; there is no night here
81 looked at the people, their faces wreathed
in simple halo of glory, attired in holiday
clothing [ said: when will the working men
60 by clad in overalls? and where are the
brawny men who work and toll over the anvil?'
"They said, I'VE toll not, neither do we spin;
there remaineth a rest for the people Of Cod
81 stroled out in the suburbs. I said, Where
are the graveyards, the grave-diggers? Where
do you bury your dead?'
"They said I'VE never die here
II looked out and saw the towers and spires;
I looked at them, but did not see any tomb
stones, mausoleums, green or fower-covered
graves. [ said, Where, where are the hearses
that carry your dead? Where are the under
takers that embalm the dead?'
"They said, I'VE never die in this land.
II said, Where are the hospitals where they
take the sick? Where is the minister, and
where are the nurses to give the gentle touch,
the panacea?
''They said, I'VE never grow sick in this
land
II said Where are the homes Of want and
squalor? Where live the poor?'
"They said, There is no penury; none die
here; none ever cry for bread in this land
was bewildered I strolled along and heard the
ripple Of the waters as the waves broke against
the jeweled beach. I saw boats with oars dip
ped with silver, bows Of pure gold. I saw
multitudes that no man could number. We all
jumped down through the violets and vari-
colored flowers, the air pulsing with bird song,
and I cried,
"' Are = all - here?' And they echoed,
All - are - here
And we went leaping and shouting and We'd
with bower and spire, and they all caroled and
sung my welcome, and we all bounded and
leaped and shouted with glee, Home - Home
- Home"
