= THE SITUATION.
BY EDMOND VANCE COOKE.

We took a hundred million hands from
process of production,
We trained them in the deadIiest ways
and set them at destruction.
We quite forgot that sons are sons
and born of men and mothers,
We killed eight million of them and
We crippled myriad others.
The maa who made us do all this is
just looney fellow,
Whose carcass Is in Holland and
whose soul is solid Yellow
We dislocated all the world. we start
ed raging forces
We cannot halt nor hinder now till
they have run their courses.
And babies cry at withered breasts
and children's eyes are hollow,
And famine clutches half the earth
and who knows what's to follow?
And victims wrapped in sackcloth, sit
ting In their ruins ashes
Are viewed by placid profiteers in
broadcloth and In sashes.
The wise men are become as fools,
and fools are counted sages,
And everybody's asking shorter hours
and higher wages.
The seller marks his prices up to
charm the reckless buyer.
Till sometimes 1t is mentioned that
the cost of living's higher.
For all the world proclaims the plan
Ito I'LL the empty larder) go
To make the Other Fellow work. and
work little harder!

IT COSTS MORE TO
RUN A CHURCH
By the REV. CHARLES sTELzLE.

BY the REV. CHARLES STELZLE.
The workingman isn't slow to re-
mind us that the cost of living has
gone up nearly 20 per cent since
kl4.
And business men. while not saying
much about it. calmly boost the prices
OF their goods to more than cover
this increase.
But what about the church?
II costs a lot more 10 run a church
these days than it ever did.
Contractors and merchants expect
the church TO pay what other institu-
tions pay-and the church usually
does IL.
But preachers and teachers in mis-
sion schools and settlements, and pro-
fessors in church schools and COL
leges haven't hNd much OF an advance
in their salaries-not nearly so much
as workingmeu.
They haven't gone out on strike
and they won't quit their jobs-they
just aren't built that way. Whether
it's wise or foolish doesn't matter.
They take on extra work as a side
line with the result that the church
! often gets the services OF tired. over
burdened workers. who must be con-
tent to merely do their regular work
ina perfunctory fashion-and this
means that they can't do their best
! work for humanity.
And the church suffcrs-and the
world suffers too-because, at a time
when the finest, freshest leadership in
the world is needed to do the enor-
nous job which the church should be
doing today. it is getting its leader
ship from exhausted men.
Somehow, We pay our bills to the
merchant and the professional people.
but We think IT is an imposition when
the church asks us to increase our
gifts to missions and church work
even though we're giving the same
! amount that we gave ten years ago,
which was never a fair sum, anyway
II 1t costs 70 or 30 per cent more to
! run a church today than 1t did half
a dozen years ago-don't you think
that there's coming to the Lord more
than you are now giving?
We may think that we're putting
something over on the Almighty. but
the fact is we're hurting ourselves
more by this kind Of deal than
we're hurting God.
II you're church man, you.
tihoeeh youf REPRESENTATION, autnOf-
ized those in authority in the church
to organize certain kinds of work in
the community. in this country, and
in foreign fields.
And they've done 1t.
Do you want them to retrench at a
time when 1t is imperative that the
church 60 forward7
Every other kind Of an enterprise
is making larger plans because Of the
new demands Of the world for in
creased service-shall the church be
n traitor ut time when It should be
in the vanguard, interpreting the
times, announcing great principles for
the social and economic world. and
furnishing leadership through men
and women enthused by the gospel?
Say to your church. Go Forward"
And then 60 to 1t yourself.
