only individual pleasures and COM
forts, until the sorrow sWoops up
on our people and shocks them in
to proper living?
Will America, now that she IS
thoroughly in the war, take up the
banner of Christ and fight the de-
Moonlight? Will she, as an uni
ted people, uphold the traditions
of their forefathers, forfeit all for
the cause Of freedom, and the
right to worship unrestralned, or
will she continue divided one part
of the nation fighting the battles
I Of liberty while the rest hide be-
hind the broad skirts OF the conc
! titutiOn and contend for freedom
Of thought which really means H.
cense in these days?
If the latter be the conduct OF
the non-combatant part OF our po-
pulation, while the fresh young
manhood Of the new world gives
up it's life blood for a righteous
cause, what will be the stigmatlsm
that those who finally will return
from the fray will place upon our
shoulders Will there be many
lamong us who can look a soldier
in the face when the war is finish
ed if we are not up and doing with
our trifling bit here at home, and
shall we not, at least, make the
| United States a better place for
these heroes to come back to.
Will the craven heart be the
history Of a portion Of our people
or will the body polite enter heart
lily into the cause that will end
for all time the power Of might
lover right? What a momentious
question for the people Of great
nation to decide, and what marve-
ilous opportunities for right doing
lie in the balance.
1t is but natural that mothers,
! wives and sWeethearts should
shudder at the thought of their
mankind going into battle, forthe
heartthrObs Of woman is ever
uppermost over the mind, but
having made that supreme sacri-
flee, their men having taken up
the shield and buckler Of a right
eous cause, will our women, as
have the women Of France, smile
and face the blow? We are sure
they will. and from the fire Of ag-
ony will emerge strong reliant
and determined womanhood.
AS Christ laid down his life for
the freedom Of the world, so are
our boys cover there" laying
down their lives for their breth-
ren, which is the sacrifice required
for salvation thus it is that our
soldiers are fighting the battle Of
the cross, annd those that fall
will be called into the presence Of
their Lord in accord with divine
writ, which saith "He that loseth
his life for my sake shall find it. -
The tragedy Of the war does
not lie on the fields of France as
much as it rests inthe secure haunt
OF those who have not lifted hand
IN the cause. How pitiful must
the life OF the man and women
seem these days who have the
, wrong perspective. Imagine, if
you can, the person standing back
and discussing the why's and
wherefores Of America being IN
the war, or whether the govern
ments hould demand this or that
of its citizens. Why the whole
, Of life, spiritual and temporal, is
IN the balance and the cause which
Christ came to establish among
men may be swept away unless
