The A B G Of the League of Nations
BY DR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1912. by Frank Crane,

Justice and National Honor? No. 1t puts
Reason before Violence.
Ia. Does not the League take away the
Constitutional right of Congress to declare
war? No. The League can Advise war
Congress alone can Declare war
Is. Does it destroy the Monroe Doctrine
Exactly the contrary. For the first time
IN history the other Nations recognize the
Monroe Doctrine; and Extend it to all the
world
16. Does it not interfere with Treaty
Making powers Of the United States? No.
1t is Treaty. We can make any Treaty
we please.
II. Would we have had the Great War if
we had had this League? No. That War
cost the world over seven million lives and
200 billion dollars
Is. OF what Importance is the League?
1t is the greatest deed of mankind in the
history of the world
10. Has not any one a right to object
to the League? Yes. This is a free coun-
try Any one has right to any opinion he
chooses.
20. Why is the League so bitterly opposed
by few? Because, unfortunately, any
Treaty or League must be made by the
President, and a President is chosen by a
political party, and many members of the
opposite Party think they must decry what
ever he does.

find so righteous men.
Then he himself reduced the number to 40 then
30, then 90 then 10-but they couldn't be found
Ana the city was destroyed~but not until Abraham
who was known 'the friend of God"-had been

They are not often known to the public-for many
OF them humble toers in shops and factories or

God does reveal His will ito the wise and

And these humble friends of God- avail with Him

SELFISHNESS MEANEST

Selfishness is probably the greatest curse OF the

The selfishness of youth is due to thoughtessness

The selfishness OF old is due to careessness
But it's just plain selfshness in every case no maj,

the wellbeng of friends and neighbors and the exa,t
alton of self
The thing that makes love and honor others Is
the complete absence of sefshness
What makes you love your mother? The fact tb,,
she always thought of herself last.

surrender his life
We exalt Jesus because He willingly laid down His
life TO redeem from the power of sin and 10 sal,
