RATIFY The TREATY
WITHOUT RESERVATIONS

For nearly Eve years we have

Immediately on its receipt, ratify the
Peace Treaty, which not only includes

Of Nations2 This sounds like a
simple question, but the progress,--
even the maintenance,--of our civil
ization depends upon the answer.
BY this time 1t must be evident to
every thinking person that the Cove
nant OF the League of Nations can
not be torn out Of the Peace Treaty;
and it must soon be realized. even by
those whose eyes are temporarily
blinded by political antagonisms. that
an attempt to amend the Covenant at
this iuncture is fraught with danger,
since the condition of many countries,
as a result of hunger and of general
war upheaval. is 80 unstable that rev.
olution may break out at almost any
moment If peace between the nations
"a not at once established.
The making now of reservations IS
dangerous to the establishment of the
League. because If the United States
either repudiates or stipulates for
pecial interpretations of certain arti-
cles of the Covenant, other nations
VIII naturally wish to do the same
with the result that this great Magma
C&arta may become devitalized and
ineffective, If 1t can be established at
all.
Surely even though not perfect, the |
Covenant represents wonderful step
forward in the life Of the world /
Therefore let us make sure that the
United States does her part by join
ing the League Of Nations at tie
earliest possible moment. To thia
end let every man and woman write
to our Senators at Washington, urging
them to ratify the Peace Treaty in
Guiding the Covenant without amend
ments or reservations.

AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY
AND MONROE DOCTRINE E

The Monroe Doctrine, as originally
announced, served as a shield, which
the United States held over itself and
over weaker states on the American
continents as a protection against
European interference and European
encroachment. 1t was and is a
national policy which protects North
and South America and makes for
peace on these continents.
There is real danger now, however,
that the Monroe Doctrine will ue
carried so far and with so high a
hand that the real value of the policy
will be lost.
Senator Knox made the following
amazing statement in his recent
speech in the Senate: e:-"Its (The
Monroe Doctrine) precise character
the extent, method and time of its
application the means Of compelling
its observance, all are matters of our
high and uncontrolled will and SOW
ereign prerogative. We, the United
States, cannot answer to any one
else in respect to it, We use it when,
as, and to the extent we need 1t
There can be no limitation upon it
except our requirements, our will, and
our force of arms. Whatever security
we may need within its purview, il
must give if we ask it,"
That sounds like Trietschke. 1t IL

her own requirements to be. Such

to cause trouble and friction on the
American continents. The Doctrine

the United States to demand that she

BREST LITOVSK

Great Suffering Is Reported In City
Where Germans and Russians
Reached Peace Terms.

New York, N. Y, September 26.-
The town where the Germans formerly
made terms with the Russians,-Brest
Litovsk, in Poland, is today place
of ruins, disease and terrible suffer
ing, according to report just receiv-
/ ed by the American Jewish Relief
Committee from DR.. Boris Bogen, q
relief worker sent abroad by the Joint
Distribution Committee of American
Funds for Jewish War Sufferers.
Practically the entire population OF
$4,000 persons, of whom $4,000 are
Jews, are living in holes in the ground
writes DR.. Bogen. The hospital, which
cannot begin to accommodate all those
suffering from various diseases in
duced by starvation, Is still without
windows, or doors, or any means of
heating. There is no work of any
kind to be gotten, and the returning
refugees are in desperate need.
ut is difficult to believe that human
ity can endure suffering to such an
extent" DR.. Bogen writes. Here the
situation Is so depressing and the need
so great that l think 1t miraculous
that the people still continue to live.
The number of homeless children on
the streets of Brest-Litovsk is large,
and there is great necessity for some
kind of an asylum for them. There
are in addition to these LOO chill
dren in school here, in spite of suf-
fering and starvation.
THE most important question is
some provision for housing all the
people who are now living under the
open sky in miserable holes. | have
discussed this need with the Burgo-
master and authorities of the city, an
they have told me that they will be
willing to turn over a large building,
formerly a soldiers barracks, as a
shelter for the homeless. It will re
quire considerable money to get this
building into shape and especially to
provide some means of heating It. The
hospital will not be able to keep it's
patients through the winter unless
some provision is made or heating ii,
and doors and windows are put in.
THE people are in terrible condi-
ton, and in dire want of necessities.
A large number of houses are entirely
destroyed, and the few that are left
are In a horrible shape. Tt is only
recently that the refugees, who were
evacuated from the city, have return
ed. There is practically no work for
them, and they are in the direst need.

There is nothing lawless in the uni
verse. There is as much law in the
spiritual as in the natural world.
Men have been slow in discovering ma
tural law, they have been slower in
discovering spiritual law. A program
Is only another name for law. That
God has a program for the church
goes without saying, He does nothing
without program. That there was a
program for the life of Christ is clear
ly brought out by himself. Also that
program was forecast in the old Te3-
lament. Every prophecy concerning
Christ was a part of, that program.
Let us see. He was to be born of a
virgin, to be born in a manger, to be
called from Egypt; was to be called
Il Nazarene. was to be a man Of sor-
rows, was to be led as a lamb to the
slaughter, as a sheep before her shear
err is dumb so be opened not his
mouth, was to be crucified, buried,
arise the third day, ascend to his Faith
er.
Divers events in his life are spoken
of as fulfilling the scriptures. God
had a program for the church from
the beginning. Its object was stated
that "the seed of the woman should
bruise the serpents head" There was
program OF four thousand years for
accomplishing this purpose. A nation
must be built uD through which Christ
should come in the flesh. The world
must be prepared for the coming OF
the Son of God. Every historical move
ment was directed to this event. Run
ming through all history is the divine
plan for the redemption of man thru
the person of Jesus Christ the central
figure of all history. Through
the evolution of nations the Greek had
become universal language and the
Roman a world power Then the de-
liver came
His program was made for the evan
gelization of the world. Slowly 1t has
been worked out. Nearly two thous-
and years have elapsed since this pro-
gram ives announced and the work is
just now assuming proportions that
promises speedy contamination of
the great undertaking.
God has a program for each life. He
means for every life to be a success,
and If his program were followed It
would be so. BY complete surren-
der Of the life to Gods will that pro-
gram may be secured God reveals
His will to those who seek to know it.
Providence and the Holy Spirit guide
those who are willing to be led. A
surrendered will brings a spirlt-filled
heart and this produces a fruitful life
Law is everywhere. Light is given

is on the throne. Loyalty to Gods

subjects, resistance brings failure and
