world, the memorials of the Re-
deemer's supreme sacrifice.
The head of the American Navy
had no thought at that moment of
his position and authority as the
commander of half a million men,
and of untold ships. All the pomp
and state and circumstances of his
| high office were out of his thought.
As he knelt there in the fellowship
| of the sacrament Che did not tell this
part of his experience in public;
know it from other sources) he was
but humble Christian, saved by the
grace of Christ; and heart-sore fa-
ther, parting from his first-born son.
For among the marines leaving that
day for the other side was the old
est son of the Secretary of the Navy,
who had a few weeks before won
his promotion from the rank of a
iprivate.
All over the world to-day there are
fathers and mothers sharing the
Abraham experience of offering up
their sons. There is no parent who
sees his boy go forth to France who
does not. in his imagination, picture
him as slain. Our sons are surren-
.dered for the supreme sacrifice. In
this hour of holy dedication we
overlook the reassuring statistics
that by far the greater number of
soldiers Will return safe ana strong
and emancipated to new manhood.
Our allied nations are to-day unit
ed in the fellowship of the supreme
remuneration. Love has given of its
best, to the highest and holiest
Cause. We read with mellowed
hearts the Abraham story: and we
enter into a few appreciation of the
divine meaning of the inspired
words, God so loved that he
gave His only Son." What a spirit
ual epoch the world is passing
through! God forbid that we should
busy ourselves with the merely ma
terial aspects of the war and miss it's
nobler, trurer meanings.
