Pastor Explains What
Obey Means.

Potter. Neb., Aug. 25.-To The
Editor of The Bee:-On the 18th Of
this month there appeared an edi-
torial in The Bee which was mis-
leading in its entirety. The writer
has read especially the editorials Of
The Bee with pleasure for a number
OF years, but never has he found one
that was so wholly at variance with
facts as the one headed: "Episco-
palians Making Progress" The
genial editor calls it progress to
omit the word "obey" from the mar
riage ritual of the church. IL the
word obey is relic of an age that
has passed. if that were all that is
involved. one could very we'll dis
pense with it, but the word obey"
is not a relic" but is distinctly
biblical. And if it is progress" to
get. away from the Bible. then the
Episcopalians are welcome to make
that progress" But, l think, an
injustice is done to the Episcopal,
ians in congratulating them for
eliminating clear passage of Holy
Writ
Had the editor taken the time
to study this question as he should
have done before launching into the
deep blue sea, know that editorial
would not have appeared.
The word "obey," as used in the
church ritual and in the Bible, was
never meant to convey the idea that
the husband could or should COM
mand his wife as though she were
his slave. but signifies obedience to
the marriage VOW. obey" here
means: Thou shalt not commit
adultery; in other words, the wife
is here enjoined by God not to do
anything by which the marriage re-
lation between her and her husband
is violated. And to be permitted TO
do this by emitting the word obey"
The Bee surely would not call
progress. That this is done in So
ciety cannot be called progress, -
and is. far from being cause for
congratulations. and cannot be well
coined by anybody having the well
fare of society at heart. Then, why
the law of our state to punish adul-
terry, or any laws protecting the
state Of matrimony? The word
obey" at least in the Lutheran
church. never gave the husband the
right and privilege to command his
wife and make her "obey" him at
his every whim. He can demand
obedience to the marriage vow only
insofar as God has stated. And, be
1t remembered, the same obligation
Is also the husbands. The Word
OF God is very explicit on this, al
witness: Husbands, love your
wives, even as Christ loved the
church so ought men to
love their>wives as their own bod
les" Eph. v. 25. Likewise: wives
submit yourselves to your own hus-
bands as unto the Lord" Eph. v.
90
OF course, II churches have given
this Word Of God a wrong interpre-
tation, then complaint is JUSTIFIED
but not on the grounds of a relic
Of an age that has passed." but
rather that the Word of God has
been violated, for rituals of the
church should be in conformity with
the Word of God; in other words:
The church should "obey" the Word
of God. l think the editor of The
Bee will heartily agree with the
writer and give this correction the
same prominence given his editorial
Mistakes will happen to the best OF
us. Yours for unfolding the mar.

OAR Symbols of Disillusion

Along with the WORKOUT ordnance and other
things in the discard of war must be noted the
backwards war gardens. No one has had the
&rt to mention them lately--so many people
have seeA them. They are truly pathetic, in
1ese parts at leaest; our only reminders of the
devastation wrought by the catacysm of war,
the No Mans land of our lost endeavor. OF
&oursc the weather man is being blamed, but
Ii would take more than the coming true OF a
fSt Swithin legend to dampen any. kind of en-
thusiasm that started so many patriots digging
few seasons ago.,
We are afraid the weather, with all its
idiosyncrases is more of an excuse than any
thing else when it comes to the general neglect
Of the war gardens To dig and plant and hoe
stirring manifestation of patriotism. 1t was
easy to imagine every vicious weed Hun or
strand Of Won Tirpitzs whiskers, to be
whacked 1t is quite another thing to hight
mud and worms and plant lice merely to give
congress more time in which to talk about the
peace treaty and look into the cost of living
At any rate, our amateur cultlyatoss are on
strike for higher incentive. They will not
work for such meager rewards as are promised
by this years product, and many hopeful one
is deploring the loss of valued grass plot
given over 70 the war garden in the vain en-
deavor to beat the high cost of living. OF
course, it was foolish to have started gardens
last spring, but that is where human nature
came in The war garden was to be followed by
green things was to symbolic the new era OF
peace and tranquility to be ushered in BY the
conference at Versailles. Alas, the back yard
s now symbolizes our complete disbursement
We know now that peace is relative term
and that tranquility is nebulous aspiration

tizing situation, of Illuminating the
dark tragedy of the struggle with a
lively and lovable personality, per-
haps might have done better; GER
tainly he would have done differently.
But history has no ifs. The record
is the record.
"Yet this also should be in the
record, and Americans always must
read with pride that their president
more than any other man in the
world is responsible for giving the
world its first draft of a real League
of Nations. If he had not gone 10
Europe the idea would have been
abandoned. Clemenceau publicly de-
clared in January that he was for
the old-fashioned idea of the balance
of power. The British understanding
to which he referred seemed to imply
that Great Britain also favored bal
ance of power. Italy an dJapan had
no other thought. The League Of
Nations before President Wilson came
to Europe was a pacifst's dream
irridescent but also evanescent. He
made it real. For it he gave every
thing-even his good name. He sac
rificed profoundly for the idea, and
saved it to the world. He could not
have done this by delegating his pow
er. His influence from Washington
would have been negligible. But in
Paris -grotesque figure though he
was in European eyes-he was pow
erful. His words had weight. They
prevailed. They have made world
league for peace and not for war, one
of the inevitable things which hu-
manity will bring into being by the
very act of longing for it.
FIt matters little what happens
right now to the League of Nations
Time is long, and the deep aspirations
of men will wait. But our American
democracy may be honestly proud
that it raised up one who put into the
hearts of all the world, because we
sat him high where he could speak
to all the world, the aspiration of our
hearts for the coming of peace of
eood will among mon -
Many of us have not realized how
much the president sacrifced-how
he toiled for the ideals of a world
peace-the happiness and freedom
of the human race. Mr.. White has
brought to us better understanding
of things, and to him we feel indebt-
ed.
We must understand, too, that Mr..
White is not Of the same party as our
president-he is not of the same mind
on most things, but on this one sub
ject he comedies that Mr.. Wilson has
won a tremendous victory for the
right, and for humanity, and that we
owe him at least. our gratitude.
And yet. we see the United States
senate fritting away it's time, debat-
ing. backing, filling, boasting, cring-
ing and crawling-yet. fearing to en-
brace the League of Nations as a
good and sound plan, and afraid to
deny that it is, but standing aloof,
criticising without offering concrete
or constructive suggestions for bet
ter plan, suggesting this expedient
as compromise, and then another,
but all the while waiting for chance
to manufacture political capital out
of some phase of it, whether they re-
gard it as fair and just, or otherwise.

wisely between the evils; never re-
gretting his choice, but greatly sad
dened at the need for such a choice.
"When the treaty finally was ready
with it's provision for years of vas
salage for Germany and with the
broad gesture of humiliation for the
vanquished which France needed to
wipe out the stain of 1870, no one
so surely knew as the American presi-
dent that it was weighted with severi-
ty and that it might not carry its
own weight. But it did hold the
League of Nations within it, and for
that he and thousands like him among
the allies accepted it. They realized
full we'll that the severity in it might
breed wars; but they hoped strongly
that the malice might be purged from
the treaty by the League of Nations
and so let it pass on faith.

Japan, naturally alarmed, demanded
that Russia evacuate Manchuria, and
Russia repeatedly promised to do so,
but never fulfilled her promises. Japan
saw a great European power confront
ing her In threatening attitude per,
haps threatening her very existence
as an Independent nation. On Febru-
airy of 1904 she severed diplomatic re-
lations with Russia and two days later
Admiral Togo made n torpedo attack
upon the Russian fleet lying at Port
Arthur, followed by fleet attack the
following day. BY these two attacks
the Russian feet at Port Arthur was
practically. put out of commission. On
the day of the last attack japanese
fleet defeated the Russian squadron
lying off Chemufpo.
Japan Declared War.
The next day Japan formally de-
clared war.
The subsequent events of the war
were the bombardment of VladivOstok
March @; bOmbardment of Port Arthur
March 81; occupation Of Wiju at the
mouth of the Yalu river April @, and
the passage of the river and the defeat
of the Russian army opposing on May 1.
The japanese army was now In Man
churia and another japanese army oc-
cupied Korea. The japanese navy
utterly destroyed Russia's sea power
in the Pacific and the Japanese army,
after series OF victories, laid siege to
Port Arthur. Another japanese army
drove the Russians northward in Man
churia and administered "a crushing
defeat at Mukden.
The Russian transportation and sup
ply corps utterly broke down and be-
came useless grand dukes at the Man
churian headquarters reveled in car
loads of courtesans and champagne
while the soldiers needed food and
clothing. and there was an orgy OF
official graft.
Port Arthur made a valiant defense
but surrendered on January l, 1905.
Provisions of Treaty.
BY this treaty japan and Russia
mutually agreed TO evacuate Man
churia, excepting the Liao-tung pc
ninsula, which was taken over by
Japan. Russia transferred her lease
of Port Arthur to Japan, as well as the
railroad connecting Port Arthur with
the Manchurian railroad. The Man
churlan railroads were to be used for
commercial purposes only. Russia
ceded to Japan the island of Saghalin,
great island stretching north and
south along the Siberian coast. and
gave Japan fishing rights on all the
Pacific waters of Russia.
The Russian humiliation was COM
plete. Japan had arrived" and not
long afterward Great Britain became
her ally.
