Therefore every minister should preach
the league Of nations as zealously as any
Turk ever proclaimed a holy war.
Every Jewish rabbi should advocate it, be-
cause II stands for the realization of those
principles of benevolence which are the
vitality and charm of his ancient faith.
Certainly every Christian minister should
be flaming apostle for this new covenant,
for its very aim is to save that world for
which Christ died.
1t is the first act of statesmen ever based
upon as broad a foundation as Christian
missions.
And every mother should pray for it.
that the mothers of the world hereafter may
be spared the torture which the stupid

inflicted upon this generation.
And if the mothers of America will but

The greatest question before the world to-
day, and before this nation, is the league
of nations.
Efforts are being put forth to make it
a partisan issue, but it is not and cannot
be juggled into partisan question.
1t has not the slightest relations with
or bearings upon either the republican or
democratic party as SUCH II is national
question.
And it is a religious question. 1t is one
that ought to be taken up by every church,
every preacher should preach upon it, it
should be taught in every Sunday school,
and every human being that prays at all
should pray for it.
Because il Concerns humanity
Because it is the first intelligent con-
certed effort of the governments of the
world to make provision not for war but
for the death of war.
This does not imply that the league of
nations, as formulated by the world coun-
ell at Versailles, will be perfect. 1t will
be human, and therefore imperfect
But it will be beginning, and we never
before have begun.
No matter how incomplete the first
draft of this world alliance may be- no man
who is not an enemy of the human race
should utterly condemn and oppose it, but
every man should do what he can to i'm
prove it.

rulers of earth TO redeem mankind from

To Save Your Time
You Must Spend 1t
BY THE REV. CHARLES sTELzLE

There's this difference between time and money:
If you would your money youll have to hoard it,
but IL you would your time you'll spend it
And the more completely your time is spent for
worthwhile things, the richer you will become intel
ligence I'm character in powcr-and in money, too
For the wise spender OF time is equipped TO
earn more money-it viii come quite the natural
result OF weLspent time.
And money earned in this way isn't nearly as likely
10 become is money that comes thru luck
fortune, just thru plain, stupid, moneym making
ability"
For there are people who know how to make money,
but they can't make anything else-ncr really enjoy
the money they've made, excepting in the coarsest
most fashion. their tastes and desires being
purely physical nothing above their mouths ever hav-
ing been truly developed
