FAITH A SOLDIERLY VIRTUE
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE


What has faith TO do with soldering Is it not rather a matter for
old women and prayer meetings?
Faith Is the backbone of soldering
There are two meanings 10 faith. one implies the acceptance Of
a creed, the acqucscence i'm certain statements made by II church.
Faith in this sense we do not here discuss. We leave that 10 the
preachers.
But there is another meaning. 1t is the acceptance of certain
deep principles and laws which underle and govern life and events.
It Isl belief that all things in this world are going according to
program, and not ht and miss.
It's the conviction that there ISL great mul that controls events
that as the living human body IS governed by a soul, 81 the universe
is governed by a soul.
1t means that the final explanation of all things is spiritual, not
material.
1t is belief that the laws of goodness and it's rewards and of
any more than the laws of physics or chemistry have exceptions; that,
for instance, you can depend upon honesty being the best policy with
as much confidence as You can depend upon two and two making four
every time.
The man of faith is honest even in the DARK. and when he seems
10 lose by IT, for he is just ms certain it will pay in the long rum ~
that the sun viii rise tomorrow.
Faith, the kind we are talking about, means that Justice is invar-
iably the best,
That kindness and scIfcontrol are always better than brutality
and pctlancc,
That there is "a power not of ourselves that makes for righteous
ness, and that any man IS a fool that imagincs he can cheat IT,
That a good character is more to be- priced than a good rcputa-
ton,
That "te star, in their course" fight for the man who is clean
and decent,
That somehow, although it is oftcn not apparent, this whole uni
verse IS 50 ordered That the man vino is straight and square will arrive,
and The man who IS crooked and mean will not arrive,
And that hol"r, l"}al! and modcsty are qualities that are 10 he
used everywhere and all the time, and make a man happier and more
satisfied with ms life than money or fame can do,
II IS taith, then, that is the most soldierly of virtues.
II makes a good private, a good captain, and n good general.
The man lhal is without II il not to be depended on, Sooner or
later hc viii hnd this universe just a gigantic trap to catch him.
No man AS bigger than the sum of things.
No man rs Nhrcwd enough or clever enough 10 win when he pits
his wits against the long wisdom of Almighty God.

Italy Prepares for Peace

WYE COULD not forScc the coming of the war
M but we do forcsec the coming of peace
" aud among our allies one nation at least Is
wisely making preparations for such a time. That
nation is Italy.
The Italian government, according to a consul
lar report of recent date, has already established
a central and two auxiliary commissions 10 study
and TO formulate measures necessary TO pass from
"A state of war to one of peace. The first suh-con-
mission Is 10 deal with administrative judicial, ana
social questions, the second To treat industrial com
mercial and agricultural problems.
The two sub commissions will be subdividcd in
to certain sections So be determined 10y the prcsI-
dent of the Cabinet who with two chairmeu of the
-Sub-commisSiOnS and several directors ot individual
groups will constitute the central commission. OF
ficials peculiarly fitted TO discuss certain questions
may be called to sit in counsel with the various see
lions of the s~ub-committees
The central COMMITTEES will draft the general
program to be followed, apportion The questions
10 be treated by the subcommittee. examine the
findings of the subcommittee aud OH the basis Of
their decisions draw up a general report of parlia-
meut. The personnel of the committee, and see
tionS win be nominated by the president of the
cabinet.
Even yet this nation could well afford to fol-
low the example set by the tore-handed, tar-Scclng
leadership of England, France and Italy. Doubt
less the same cummon-scnse. the same patriotism,
the same union in the face Of a crisis, that pulled
MS through the war. will pull us safely through
the reconstruction period. But insofar as vr can
eliminate the element of chance, Just so far are we
.nsuring ourselves against future dangers.
