GOD AND DeMocRAcY's STAKE.

The American people, indeed, have
risked their all in this war-and it is "a
glorious thing to have done, for the
needs and the ends amply justify it. II
we are defeated it means not merely
the loss of lives and treasure, but per-
haps of our independence and our de-
mocracy. Yes, we may even say
that if, with us. the allies are beat
en- and a peace dictated from Berlin
shall result, it will set civilization
back from three to five centuries, says
the Living Church. Free democracy
would, even so, sometime live again,
but many generations would probably
rise and fall before that would come
to pass. Whatever progress we have
made in solving the problem of de-
mocracy we have staked upon the out
come of the war-and wisely. With
such a stake we cannot afford to lapse
into hysteria. Amid all the rocking of
the foundations of the world there is
just one power that is absolutely
stable, absolutely mistaken, absolutely
certain to dominate in the final analy-
sis, whatever be the vicissitudes that
may come to pass. And that power
is-Almighty God.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1918-01-26

An inconcluslve peace would mean
shat Germany would, in 10 years, be
able to put into the field an army of
100000 men against a total French
army of 1882, 000, according to figures
compiled by Andre Lefevre, deputy
from AK and former minister of
finance. M. Lefevre estimates the num-
Der of survivors at 20 years of age in
the two countries, out of 100000 male
births, at 1850 for France and TO-
sos for Germany. In spite of the
greater wastage in Germany, the rela-
lively smaller birth rate in France
would reduce the latter's military
strength to only a little over 40 per
cent Of that of her neighbor in 1888.

1t is not only your wish and your
privilege, but your duty as we'll to
make the best possible use Of your
natural endowments and occult pow
ers for your betterment, your uplift-
ment, your enrichment in "body, mind
and estate" says Nautilus. The plea
that has often been put forth
by the old thought that it may not
be Gods will that you should pros
per in any but spiritual ways is null
lifted by the declaration of the
Masters that sit is your Fathers
good pleasure to give you the
kingdom'-untO Nnich all else is to
be added-and that God is more will
ing to give good gifts to his chill
dren than they are to receive Them"
Being a part of God as the wave Is
a part of the sea, and therefore with
the same quality c~reativeness and the
same material from which to create,
YOU have sin the house" the stuff from
which to build a life and a living and
the same tool with which to manipu-
late it as is used by God himself :
Thought.

An English officer stationed in At
RIGA has conceived the notion hat poi
son gas, employed by the German
army with deadly effect against human
beings, may be diverted to a benevo-
lent use by turning its deadly potency
against the dreaded tsetse fly. 1t may
be that a form of the gas exceedingly
harmful to man will be found best
adapted to the purpose, but if this is
selected the operators intrusted with
its administration will be protected by
gas masks.

Soldiers Solicit Discarded VictroIa
Records.

Records.
Headquarters 303d Engineers,
Camp Dix, N. j., Jan 20, 1918.
Editors P~leasantville Press
There are a number of men of the
selective draft in this 303d Regiment
of Engineers, including myself, from
Pleasantville and South Jersey. Our
officers have secured victrolas for our
several companies, but the absence of
makes it difficult for us to
secure records.
1t has occurred to us that many of
our towns people, having records of
which they are perhaps tired, might be
glad, if the matter was brought to
their attention, to ship us their excess
as a means of filling the gap created
by our lack of above re-
ferred to. 1t is of course thinkable
as well that some of the towns people
of means, having no such excess as
referred to, would be glad to help out
by purchasing a few records for Is.
l am accordingly writing you, ask
ing that you give sufficient space in
any appropriate way in your paper, in
the hope that our deficiency may thus
be readily provided for.
Any contributions addressed to
Colonel E. M. Markham, 303 Engineers,
Camp Dix, N. j., will reach us and be
equitably distributed.
Sincerely,
STANLEY u. NORTH.

LONG FAMOUS IN HISTORY
Vicissitudes of Old City Of Jerusalem
May Be Said to Be Without
Parallel.

The capture of Jerusalem by Eng
fish troops recalls the tragic and fas-
chatting story of that day, which car
rles us back through the mist of ages
to the days when the throne of David
was established within its walls. From
that date we pass to the glories of
the temple built by Solomon, which for
centuries was to stand as the center
and pivot of the Jewish nation and
faith. The time came, however, when
her days were numbered, and the drama
of Calvary was followed few years
later by the onslaught of Titus, the
Roman emperor, who encOmpassed the
city round on every side and leveled
it to the ground.
Round Its ruined walls Saracen and
Crusader were to fight continuously for
Its possession, and Christian knights
tlockcd from all lands to the rescue Of
the holy places, until in 1000 Godfrey
de Rouillon defeated his enemies and
was chosen rs the first Christian king
of Jerusalem.
Following this, for considerable
period the city remained in Christian
hands. until in 1917 it was captured by
the Turks.

ton Of the finest type OF American
manhood and wOmanhood That is
why charities In war times should be
more generously supported than in
days Of peace; why this Christmas
should be made, If possible. cheerier
and happier than any Christmas that
has gone before.
There are some people who cannot
afford to observe this Christmas as
they have observed it In years pre-
ceding. There are others who can bet
ter afford to be generous than ever.
All should give In proportion. There
Is no reason why they should not, ana
every reason why they should. Not to
do so will be unpatriotic and selfish.
