hundred years? They might as easily
make, a. program for two hundred
years, or even for thousand years.
They ought not to stop on as short a
period as one little century
However, in the unfolding of the
ages God seems to pay little heed to
the Plans and programs of men. Our
military leaders could not plan for
two years ahead; they told us that
the war could not possibly end be-
fore the close of the year 1920. But
Coo willed it otherwise, thanks to
his superior wisdom and power And
it is more than likely our :'worId-re-
constructionists," who are publish
ing programs "for the next hundred
years" will find things turning out
rather differently from what they
Plan. God has not turned over to
them the who'd world and all the
centuries. He is far too wise and
merctful to commit the destiny of
the human race to hands so incomne-
tent for handling such stupendous
interest. =
Nothing is gained by giving atten-
lion TO these planetesimal programs
ana pretentious prophesyings
Let every man do his duty each
day, however humble his task NAV
seem, and follow Christ. Thereby he
VIII most certainly do his part in ere
constructing the world" and by no
other process can he do it. Christ
is in command of His church. AS
the Captain Of the Lords host is He
in the midst Of Israel now, as He
was before the walls of Jericho. Men
are but subordinates to take orders
from Him, even as He taught Joshua
that he was a mere subordinate
Some of the "World-reconstrIcti
lists" tell us we can do nothing until
all the Christian bodies have come
under some human generalissimo, as
the allied armies came under the
command Of General Foch What
man will dare to displace the Cap
tain of our salvation and under
take the supreme command of all
the churches? He who would be
vain enough TO undertake such a
thing would need the most reyolI1-
tionary reconstruction in both his
head and his heart. s
Jesus Christ has never abdicated
the supreme command Of the Chris
tian forces Of the world With the
serenity and confidence of divine wis
dom He directs all things in heaven
and in earth to the establishment of
His kingdom, and at the end of his
tory, when the final government of
the world descends out of heaven
from. God, rather than rising out of
earth from men, He will declare to an
adoring universe, Behold, I make all
things new" (Rev. XXi:5.) He, and
He alone, can reconstruct the world :;
for He alone can regenerate human
soul.
It is time for the "world-recon-
structionists" to go home and go to
work. All their Understanding words
have become the veriest cant. or, at
best, the swelling declarations of
sophomoriSm.
Human nature is just what and
where it has always been, and the
world of today, like the world of all
former days, will have to be recon-
structed by the process of divine re-
generation, and not by man-made
programs, or sophomore oratory, or
meddlesome Surveys"
The public is growing weary of
world movements" and world-mcv-
ers, who move nothing but them
selves from place to place and from
platform to platform, knd at sesae-
body else"s expense.

WAR 1l1adness!''s It's the new
crime defense that may take it's
place beside the "unwritten law IN
mitigation of murder.
The gruesome and curiously paral-
lei cases of Harry s. New, Jr., who
killed his sweetheart, Frieda Lesser,
in Los Angeles, and of Herman
Knaesche, who shot his wife to death
at Ulkiah, Cal, have focused the i'm
terest of criminologists and neurolo-
gists on this debatable factor in
homicide.
Both these men who confessedly
killed the thing they loved' have

Both expressed great grief after
the staying. r.
Both are preparing to plead in
sanity at the Forthcoming trials,
with indications that the stress Of
war on already weak minds will loom
big in efforts to save them from the
gallows.
Both foundered in seeking to pre-
sent a motive.
Herman Knaesche, of Ukiah, who
deliberately loaded shotgun and
she expressed fear of the weapon,
said in his confession that he had
acted simply on an "irresistible i'm
pulse" much as a cat might reel
when pursuing a mouse.
Knaesche had recently returned
from France where he had partic1-
pated in a number of battles.
Senator New, Of Indiana, and who
confessed to shooting Frieda Lesser.
whom he expected to marry, during
an auto ride in canyon near Los
Angeles, had also been in the serv-
ice. He said he killed his sweetheart
when she refused to accept impend-
ing motherhood, For hours he drove
the. body about the streets, finally
delivering it and himself to the
police.
The parallel between the two cases
has reused not only interest but
sharp controversy among the. coun-
try's notable neurologists On the
subject of "war madness"
The effects of wars unrestraints
and passions upon the morally 'and
mentally weak, and the tendency to

police and crime experts. ....
