should, of course, be made correct

form for display in some part of the

would be informal addresses. Many
of the church members will have
something worth while to say. And
certainly many of the soldiers and

some interesting things from their

show genuine desire to be of every
possible assistance to the men in get
ting readjusted as good members of
society and useful and true citizens
of our great commonwealth. Ev-
cry effort must be made to help main
tain the ideals of Americanism, of
self-sacrifice, of service, of purity,
that the army and navy have tried to
instill into all their men. We must
be ready to make the best use of
these good and valuable qualities.

The National Lutheran Commits
sion was organized by the church for
great emergency work. 1t has
tried faithfully to bring the church
and its blessings TO the men of the
army and navy. Under Gods rich
blessing a great work has been &C
complished, and thousands will come
home and bless the church for what
it has done for them during the war.
The war emergency work will soon
be ended, as the millions now under
arms return to their homes. Your

awaken the churches at home to the

ton with a real message from the
living God 1t must be made evident
to those without as well as TO GER
tain elements within the church that
the church is more than human
welfare organization, more than So
cial betterment league, more than a
teacher of q system Of ethics or
philosophy; that it is in very deed
Gods institution for the salvation OF
souls, with o definite message from
Him, and as such interested in every
thing that can help it to be true to
this God-given purpose and to accom-
plish that for which 1t was founded
and has been upheld throughout the
centuries.
True to this divine origin. exalted
position. and God-given purpose, it
must now, as never before, perhaps,
clearly and unequivocally proclaim
the living Christ, the suffering, sor-
rowing and cricified Christ, the tri-
umphant, risen and living Christ, as
the Saviour of all, the one who can
save from selfishness and greed,
from impurity and lust, from sin and
all its consequences.
But in order that this may carry
weight, the spirit of self-sacrificing
love and service taught and exempli-
lied by Him must not only be preach
ed and taught. An effort must not
only be made to instill His spirit in
to the hearts of men by the spoken
and printed word. The church
must not only point to the fact that
the spirit of true Christianity is re-
quired in employer and employee in
order to avoid serious difficulties in
this period of readjustment. No, 1t
must live this truth. 1t must point
to living examples within its sphere
| of influence that really show this
spirit of love and service. A church
| that cannot do this is virtually pow
erless to cope with the present day
problems in these days of action.
Though our church has not suffer-
ed as much as some others on account
| of class distinctions and social eN-
clusiveness, it cannot even here be
out of place to call attention to the

hood of men. There can be no doubt
that strange religious unrest will
be upon us with increased force and
that many viii be led to look. to 9TH
er agencies than the Chruch of
Christ for guidance and help.
The situation is not made any cas-,
Ter by the great questions in the So
cial and industrial world. Think
for a moment of the vast numbers
who must within a short time return
from the various kinds of war work
to normal peace-time occupations
Where the work done under normal
conditions has not been discontinued
on account of war conditions, the po-
sitions of the returning war workers
have been filled by others. The
great number OF women workers in
the industries make these problems
even greater. By no means all of
them are going TO be willing to give
up their positions of financial indie
pendence. 1t is therefore evident
that the 100000 returning soldiers
will in many cases not find positions
open for them and waiting for them.
On the other hand, many industries
will be resumed upon larger scale
with increased activity and output.
This will cause a demand for the
transfer Of considerable labor from
one field to another.
Another element which would in
crease the difficulties is the fact that
most workers have become very pros
porous during the war through in
creased wages and much overtime,
and that this is likely to be changed
in the near future Evidences OF
disturbing influences are already at
hand in many places
There will certainly be well
marked social unrest on account OF
these conditions. and the danger OF
! anarchistic and Bolsevik propagan-
da is therefore greatly increased.
| The church of Christ must be aware
of these problems, and be ready to
meet aud solve them in the proper
| helpful manner. As a pastor of our
! beloved Lutheran Zion, we ask you
to give the whole matter your most
careful consideration.
Though the above is only sugges-
! tive In merest outline of some of the
I problems and difficulties that must
unavoidably be upon us as people
and church for shorter or longer
period, it must he evident that the
best We have and can give, will be

DANISH MINISTER
HAS TIMELY SRRMON
PTS OVER, OVER THERE" NOW
DS ER HERE Is AN INTER
ESTING TOPIC
Dear PASTOR:

Dear 'aStor:
AS one who is vitality interested in
lac work and welfare OF the Church
of Christ you are surely thinking of
the many problems which the church
Must face during the period of read
jsstment which comes as a result of
the great world war. There are
great questions affecting only the re-
ligious work of the church. but there
are also great questions which per
tain especially to the social and in
dustrial world. which the church can
net disregard; and there are particu-
lar questions with reference to the
relation of the church to the men re-
turning from the army and navy to
resume their places in church and
society
There is no. doubt that the war has
brought a great many people who
swere before absolutely int. Iarent
about spiritual questions to long for
and seek definite and trustworthy
religious truth. just as there are
others who had gradually cooled in
their spiritual interest and become
negligent in their Christian duties
who have been inspired to new re-
ligious life.
This is especially true of the men
IN the army and navy. There has
Den strong undercrreut of sincere
seeking after the truth. and there
have been many evidences of hunger
and thirst after Christ. Many young
men will return home with more Sc
rious Christian view of life and with
a far more earnest desire TO serve
their Lord and Master in His chuch.
Many letters from young men with
the colors give assurance of the fact
that they are coming back to be bet
ter and more useful members of the
church than they were before. This
truth is the more gratifying because
the powers of sin and darkness have
certainly been active in and among
The men. There have been tempta-
lions enough, scoffing enough, and
Influences enough that have tended
to draw them away from Christ and
His principles.
1t is indeed gratifying to note what
u true and honest effort the church
has made to satisfy this longing and
seeking after truth both at home and
among the men with the colors.
IuOuSa huSh btCit ASAl uLNOht'

On the other hand there has also
Seen considerable activity in part
srom within the church, and certainly
from without, to belittle all state
ments of positive and definite doe
trine about the Christ and faith il
Him, and to lay all emphasis on the
fetherhood of God and the brother.
