"a PRESBYTERIAN PEACE

The following, which appeared as
an editorial in the State of Column
bia, S. c., makes pleasant reading for
Presbyterians:
"a Presbyterian Peace"
Secretary Lansing delivered an
address at the celebration of the one
hundredth anniversary of the Auburn
IN. W Presbyterian Theological Sc
minary the other day in which he
said that the peace with Germany
was not TO be written in terms of am
ger or revenge but in Christian
spirit. Upon this the World of New
York comments that "there may be
misguided Germans who will find in
this utterance reasons to hope that
the United States government, COM
mitted to spiritual no less than carnal
welfare, may be made the victim of
Il peace romantic if not altogether
illusory." Then the World observes
sapiently, of, so, let all concerned
recognize the fact that Secretary Ian
sing was speaking as Il Presbyterian.
In that communion there are some
disagreemcnts rs to matters of faith
necessary to salvation, but in the
main there is adherence to the stern
theology of the Westminster Con-
fession. The God of Secretary Lam
sing is Il God of mercy, but first of
all He is Il God of justice" Finally
the World says:
"There can be no question of Sec
rotary Lansing's remarks at Auburn
were approved at the White House in
all respects as regards politics, di-
plomacy and religion, for Germans
as well as Americans should never
forget that President Wilson also is
IA Presbyterian"
In this there is for all people and
especially for the Germans food for
thought. We are to have Presby-
terian peace, in the Worlds opininion
Hearing the casual remarks of Meth
odist, aBptist, Episcopalan, Roman
Catholic and Lutheran brethren IL.
the street, we are convinced that
those of them who are troubled with
! misgivings at this time may find
consolation in the prospect to which
the World points.
Lawyers in the habit of defending
criminals are additionally chaly
about juries permeated with Calvan-
ISM"
If any further word is necessary it

response to Germany's appeal for

When man has reached the age
of sixty years he has been a poor,
dull student if he has not learned

a BOMB IN THE CAMP.

President Wilson's appeal to the
Democrats for their undivided sup
port was "a bomb in the camp" of
Republicans and Democrats alike, in
this section. AT first IL was felt that
a mistake had been made by the
President and naturally, for in tins
section at least, there has been no
intimation or insinuation or hint of
politics in any of our war activities.
at any time since the war began, or
certainly not since the Democrats de.
cided not to oppose Mr.. Slcmp's re-
election TO Congress. Democrats and
Republicans have worked in harmony
and effectively in this section, put
ting aside all personal differences,
political, social and religious, bend
ing all their cncrgics-timc, money
and brains, to the winning of the war,
and as said, Mr. Wilson's appeal"
for party support, came as an I'M
pleasant surprise to many of the
people of this section
AS to the wisdom of the Presi-
dents course few of us are perhaps
sufficiently informed as to conditions
in Washington to Justify an opln-
ion us against Mr.. Wilson's course
He knows, rs few men can know
how matters stand and have stood
during the past strenuous year and
half. He knows who has fought
with him and against him-hindcred
and helped in carrying IL load, the
weight of which never rested upon
the shoulders of any other man, liv-
ing or dead, i'll all history. lie knows
as all of us are beginning now to
see, what is the drift among certain
leading Republican politicians, who
are now, and have been for some
time, obstructionists in Washington
and in other parts of the country.
Mr. Wilson's appeal for Democratic
support is based upon his positive
knowledge of opposing forces inside
and outside of Congress, which OBJ
position he fears will Illustrate plans
well laid for Il successful closing oil
the great war. That the President
can carry to more successful and
satisfactory termination his great
plans for the future peace of the
world with Il harmonious party ut his
back, than with a party ever ready
ut every opportunity to oppose him,
goes without saying. And what more
Natural than he should ask and also
expect the support of his friends in
the impending crisis?
The next congress of the United
States will be confronted with graver
questions and problems than have
yet confronted it by far, and, there
should be no obstructionsts of either
party when this august body of men
of America meet next year.

MADE THE CHAIN COMPLETE.

Attorney General Gregory tells this
piquant story of il prominent fnan
cier and Il well-known physician:
The money juggler called at the
office of his family physician one
morning and told him with much con-
Germ that his only son was suffering
from diphtheria. The doctor was so
licitous but assured the fnanciar tina e.
with the care given in the hospital to
which the boy had been taken hr
would pull through nicely. "Of
course, said the medico, "no one is
safe when that terrible disease is
AROUND"
"But," said the father, "thc boy
confessed to me that he is sure he
caught the disease from the Dar.or
maid whom he had kissed"
well, young people are certainly
very thoughtless," unused the doctor,
"I'm sorry to hear that your son has
been so indiscreet."
eyes, of course, DOCTOR" said the
fnancier, nervously, "but don't you
see, to be frank with you'll have
kissed the girl. Do you think I, too,
will have the disease?"
"Why, yes" said the doctor "You
are probably already infected. In
fact, that would be the very next
thing to expect"
ooh, that's awful" gasped the f.
nancier, "and | kiss my own dear
wife every morning and evening, SO
she, too"
"Good heavcns!" cried the ply
stefan, jumping up excitedly, "then

WILSON AND ROOSEVELT.

Roosevelt is Il man of war. lie be
lieves in the gospel of the big
Stick" Mr.. Wilson is a man OF
Peace. He has been Il peace man al,
the time-tricd to keep the peace
from the first, and only drew the
sword when there seemed no other
alternative. He saw finally that
the only way to insure peace was to
go to war, and our war is one, not of
conquest. but of peace Mr.. Roosc-
welt cannot understand. He is not
built that way. The new federation
of nations must not be, cannot be,
founded upon hate. No peace at
tanned through spirit of hate, coulu
stand. Mr.. Roosevelt is "a bully
Gle is provcrbially fond of the use
of the word) He believes in fighting
for its own sake. He is never hap
pier than when in the ring Like
Don Quixotc c, he fights not infrc-
quently wind mills and imaginary
foes, and like the celebrated Don,
makes an ass OF himself and laugh
ing stock for the public. He has
great talents of certain order, per
verted and misguided. Mr.. Wilson,
of whom he is insanely jealous, and
OF whom he has never had a word
of commentator, is statesman
n worldwide leader of world
wide peace, conception far above
and incapable of being grasped by a
man whose sole weapon is the "Big
Stick" or Il pair of brass knucks
Such characters have their place and
mission but certain it is, their place
and mission is not such an one as is
NOW occupied by Woodrow Wilson
place which he seeks to occupy
which is only another striking PROOF
of the truth of an old adage which
speaks of certain characters who
rush in" where certain other char
actors "fear to tread"

"POLPTICS ADJOURNED. "

When the President said that poli.
tics should he adjourned until after
the war, he had about concluded Il
bitter contest for the passage of q
war measure in which several leading
Republicans and prominent Demo
crat had opposed his measure. Ev-
crybody except the Republican poll
ticians referred to endorsed and APP
proved the statement. Now, Mr.
Wilson says, virtually, the same
thing-adjourn the politicians. How
is it possible to adjourn politics UNI
less you adjourn the politicians ? "Nu

Til partisan obstruction raised its
head there was no visible occasion fol

titude and action of the Administra.

hostile leaders to take the steps he
did.

welt said:

Such refusal may not inconccivably
bring about Il rupture of peace ne
