swers. One is that the preacher should
ignore the perplexity and the strain and
divert his hearers minds to thoughts far
removed from the chaos and the problems
OF the world in which they live. The other
Is that the preacher should fairly face the
ci'hculties and perplexities that sometimes
make the world seem like chaos and, with
out any attempt to divert his hearers
minds from their troubles, show them the
order that lies behind the apparent chaos
and the purpose behind what seems pur-
poseless. The religion that seeks refuge
from struggle is the religion of the Buddh-
ist and Of the monk. The religion of the
Christian Is of the other sort; it does not
avoid struggle, but accepts it as the price
OF victory; it does not avoid perpexities,
but searches them to find the truth
"ln days like the present there are two
types of preachers, corresponding to these
two types of religion"

Don't Spread Pa
t1riOtism Too Thin

TN THIS characteristic manner, Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt makes a plea in
the July issue of "The Metropolitan" for
intense nationalism." Discussing the
various types of internationalists he
comes to the conclusion that
"ths great has offered the supreme
test of the only kind of nternationalism
worth talking about, the nternationalism
which implies power and courage and dis
interested willingness to sacrifice much in
order to put down international right
When the emergency test was thus applied
the professional internationalsts showed
themselves sorry crew The really power
full men of intrigue and action who pro-
fessed 10 the doctrine have been the eff
cient and evil tools Of Germany autocracv,
militarism and international tyranny. The
milk and water intellectuals who prattled
about the doctrine have been the timid and
inefficient tools of the same foul masters
The great war for international right
and justice has been carried on by the
men who were nationalists first. patriots
first, Ftenchmen or Englishmen or Italians
or Americans first; and who were able to
serve humanity at large precisely because
they possessed the soul qualities which
made them proudly devoted to their own
nations, and proud to fight for their de-
voton. At this moment the menace of
peace which will consecrate German wrong
doing comes mainly from men who profess
& wordy internationalism. 1t is the ardent
nationalists. the ardent patriots of the
United States and of the free countries of
Western Europe who are too proud not to
fight to the end for Belgium and Serbia
and all the small well-behaved nations who
are primarily threatened by the German
horror.
There is no limit to the greatness of
the future before America, before our be-
loved land. But we can realize it only if
we are Americans, if we are nationalists,
with all the fervor of our hearts and all
the wisdom of our brains. We can serve
the world at all only if we serve America
first and best We must work along our
own national lines in every field of achieve
ment. We must feel in the very marrow
of our being that our loyalty is due only
to America, and that it is not diluted by
loyalty for any other nation or all other
nations on the face of the earth ONLY
thus shall We fit ourselves really to serve
other nations, to refuse ourselves to wrong
them. and to refuse to let them do wrong
or suffer wrong"

about 100000. The camp itself cost
