The Chnrch as a Unifyine
Force in a Divided World
BY THE REV. V. NJ. HARDY
concluded


With every energy pre-engaged, every
hour schedul for other things, every
ounce of strength utilized in other ell
deavors-how can they find time to pray f,
to think, to talk with God? With such
absorption of strength in their own
affairs they instinctively feel that
it would be an insult to communicate
with God until they can give him
more respectful audience. Like a class
mate who, when the student body were
putting card CD their respective room
doors, containing their names and hours
of study, an easy-going student posted
his in the following manner, "G. Stanley
Smith, study hours from twelve 10
twelve inclusive" With all time and
strength mortgaged to other things,
prayer is certain of an etfectual block
out.

be placed OF. mans need of Gods light
and help. This demand from day to
day varies according to the proportions
of an infinite capacity. His right of APP
peal in prayer must not be hedged in by
changeable restrictions. His consecra-
ton of self to God must be equal in ex.
tent, if need be, to the sacrifice which
CHRIST has made for the saving of
world, Gen. Havelock, in command OF
the British troops in India, was accus-
toned to instruct the sentry TO awake
him an hour earlier when special ex-
Igencies were at hand. He spent that
hour in prayer as preparation OF him.

is an asset the value of which no one OF
ms can overestimate. Does business cou-
front us with a double amount of work
which must be done? Prayer for strength
TO do it and bear witness to our high
calling should be sought. Are we to be
thrown into peculiar temptations, temp

or infirmity? Prayer is a resort that
holds us from yielding. Are disappoint-

threatening to shut out the sun or block
our advanced Prayer may discover for
us new way of escape, or fortify us
for the shock that falls. Is the heart
burdened with the thot of approaching

We have fortunately seen Joffre, and

street too important or beautiful to bear

any. Fourth Avenue and Fifth Avenue

War and the Hearts Interest

We know highly successful business
man who complains that within a year
his usual retentiveness Of all the details
Of his extensive enterprises has failed

fifty, in the full strength Of his powers,
keen as ever, as he believes, about his
work What is his trouble?
A doctor could give him little advice.
he is not tired or overworked. He does
not crave rest. But the newer explora-
tons into the nature Of our minds find
h1s case clear enough. He is a man of
great energy. Twenty years ago he
broke away from his enterprises to 20
with Colonel Roosevelt as Rough Rider
In Cuba War comes anew to his coun-
try and he feels the same stirring to be
IN the thick of it. At first he tells him
self that, after all, the war must have
copper, and he continues at his work
producing copper. But note how the
stronger, unconscious drives within him
take their revenge. He is bothered to
remember the mass Of details he is ac-
customed to carry with ease. His un-
conscious interests are elsewhere. and
these are the interests that really sway
our lives. 1t has all been summed up lone
ago in the familiar phrase: "Where the
heart is, there the treasure lies"
War stirs our strong emotions and be-
Titles our private concerns Mr.. Dar-
ling set this forth very wildly in Trib-
une cartoon month or so ago. It makes
our daily tasks seem like playing tiddle
dywinks. They no longer, as we say,
absorb" our interest. And interest
there must be, or our work. is perfunctory
and unsatisfying.
We venture to say that this is back
Of much of the irritation and restlessness
OF many business men. Wars interfer-
ence with industry and trade is partly
psychic. Many men who are keen to do
thess: part. who give lavishly to the Red
New-York tribune., 1918-07-30

Cross, who buy heavily of Liberty bonds,
who send their sons and their best men,
still have no stirring sense of personal
part in this vast and overshadowing
struggle. They have an impotent feeling
of being "out Of it," There are few sac
rifices they would not make if it would
bring them intimately into the war.
That is why we have felt, and said, that
our high need is to turn the war into
great national crusade. It might we'll
express our characteristic American pas
sion for results. We have not the bull
dog tenacity Of the English. Our quail
ties are our own. We are an impulsive
people and very impatient for endings.
With all Of our ten million fighting
strength and our tens of billions of
avilable treasure thrown unreservedly
into the war, the end could not be long
way off. We believe that the whole ma
tion would respond to a slogan that
should embody the spirit of our genius,
battle cry which would give to every
business man and individual in the whole
nation the feeling he must have. not only
that he is "doing his Bit" but that this
bit is going vitality to count-for victory.

the President to favor an embargo on the
shipment Of arms to the Entente Allies.
In the context Of the news report was
one historical paragraph, setting forth
the facts that Senator Hitchcock intro
duced IN the Senate bill to prohibit the
shipment of munitions to the Allies that
he introduced another bill to prohibit the
sale of Allied bonds in this country, and
that he succeeded Senator Stone, of Mis-
souri,, as chairman of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations. A state
ment Of facts is not necessarily a state
ment Of truth. These special facts, re-
cited in relation to the hateful subject Of
German propaganda, are susceptible Of
sinister infection. There are other facts
in Senator Hitchcocks record that bear
different Interpretation. We wish he
had never introduced those bills, but we
believe he was sincerely honest in pur-
suing the course he did while this coun-
try was still neutral. Much that now
seems crystal clear was then obscure,
even to the eyes of the Administration.
We believe that Senator Hitchcock was
as earnest in trying to keep this country
out Of war as he has been since in sup
porting the war with all his strength and
intelligence. He has supported it
rather the war than the Administration
but both together when and as he could.
We know him; we have talked with him
on the war; and if he is not 100 per cent
American, heart and mind, we should not
know where to look for that type of citi-
zen. And we say it gratuitously.

A Badge of Shame

One of our best inventions of the war
is the scheme of the food regulators
whereby a restaurant or a candy COM
pany that violates a food regulation is
compelled to advertise its disgrace. No
body ever thought Of such punishment
before, apparently. Yet now that we
see it we recognize it as the one fitting
punishment. 1t is a far more telling
penalty than any fine And it is the fair,
the just penalty. 1t is right And it
works.
Now, why not apply the same idea to
nonwar matters? The continuing crime
of using false weights and measures is
the obvious place to start Our Bureau
of Weights and Measures is constantly
at work. So are the fines. But the prac-
tice goes on.
What we suggest is that whenever
butcher or grocer or delicatessen
store or gasolene seller or diamond
shop or any other store is convicted of
fraudulently using false weights or
measures the store be compelled to ad-
vertise its shame. Closing the store is
unnecessary and beside the point. What
is needed is that the fraudulent shop
shall post q conspicuous notice of its
disgrace and keep it posted for good
long period, week or ten days, for all
the neighborhood to see and note.
The public is entitled to this informa-
ton, and there is no way of getting it to
the people that ought to have it so direct
as that of the posted notice.
Why not a law or an ordinance making
this publication of conviction a compul-
sorry part of the punishment?
What does our Bureau of Weights and
Measures think of the idea?

Lotin.

I IS generally thought that there Is no
gettlng away from this war. That Is
mistaken notion In the idyllic at
mosphere of Pittsburgh Penn. a German
language paper called "Der Sonntaesbote"
is published every week which absolutely
refuses to take any cognizance Of the great
world catastrophe. In note addressed to
its readers on June % the editor explains:
Readers of the 'Sonntagsbote' COMPLAIN
that it does not publish anything abou.
the war In explanation we desire to en-
phasize once more that we no longer nuh-
llsh any war news, because after all most
Of 1t is lies and because we ara further
compelled by the government to file verbal
translations and sworn affidavjts with the
postoffice before the paper is sent ont which
would retard its arrival for at least one
day. Should things change for the better,
the Justlhed claims of the readers in this
respect will again be considered"
should things change for the better!"-
but things do not seem to change for the
better; they are getting worse and worse

In another editorial notice of the same
issue the editor thunders against all those
