No ADVANCE IN MORALS
WITHOUT DIVINE HELP
language and compo-

superiority of language and compo-
sition.
Mr.. Mitchell continued: 1--WE have
the advantage Of all the accumulated
wisdom Of the sixty centuries as our
own heritage and yet with all this
advantage the modern native ability
is not particle superior to that of
the ancients. No poet since Homer's
time to this moment has ever APP
peared greater, If so great as he;
and no statesman, or law-giver has
ever equaled Moses, whose laws are
the basis of jurisprudence for the
ruling empires of the world. In the
religious realm evolution. as gener-
ally interpreted, has gone to pieces
in the presence of Christ. Before
science shall ask christians to change
their theology, 1t must explain the
fact that humanity reached its per-
lection in the dim centuries past In
a poor carpenters son born IN
stable at Bethlehem. Spiritual life
comes scientifically as well as theo-
logically and biblically, by the divine
life impaired to man in regeneration
by Christ. the perfect man and Son
of God. who came to the earth and
went to the cross to make such
new birth possible, and who said
Marvel not that said unto you We
must be born again.
The same conditions of moral and
spiritual life go on and on through
all the centuries. and the human
race continues in the main to save
itself and to reach perfection, all
this without appealing for divine
help. The races of the earth seem
to linger and remain in very low
levels, because they will not be
lifted up. Just few souls, just
few. perhaps five or ten in one hun
bred, are willing to ask the divine
grace and power of Jesus Christ to
save them and aid them in their
proper mission of human existence in
this world.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Davenport Times: Being a kings
guest doesn't seem to "feaze" Mr..
Wilson in the least. Palace or white
house, it's all the same TO busy,
14-point man who is ued to having
congress on his hands.
Marshalltown Times Republican,:
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson and the entour-
age are perfectly within the proprie-
ties when they take the places given
them in the "durbar" and hold their
heads high. For an American has
a right to hold his chin up nowadays.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: There is
general agreement that we must
have good roads and good schools in
this country. Now IL we can jack
our business sense up to the point
where we shall agree to pay for
these necessities what they are
worth we shall find ourselves pro-
crossing rapidly in the way we de-
sire to go.
Mason City Globe-Gazette: Iowa
cannot get good roads just by "hol-
lering' for them when impossible as
they nave been the past two weeks.
II takes dough in the shape of gravel
and cement to make good roads
Dough up and secure these roads in
the life time of the present genera
ton.
Iowa City Republican: Next to
military training. the old-fashioned
sawbuck and woodsaw is the best
medium for physical development.
Cedar Rapids Republican: In the
meantime let no man doubt That his
own conscience is something Of a
jailer to William Hohenzollern. And
when conscience is the jailer the
taller is apt to be merciless.
Webster City Freeman-Journal: 1t
is said that the president took twelve
automobiles with him to Europe and
not one Of them was made by his
dear friend Ford. That looks like
base ingratitude.
Mt. Vernon Hawkeye: The alleged
worry of some politicians and ot.lers
having jobs for the boys when they
get back from the war is largely
bunk; 1t smacks OF propaganda to
keep Jobs" agoing for the benefit
OF the agitators, mostly. Get the
boys back; the folks at home will do
the rest, or the boys will for them
selves. Whichever or whatever they
want

A sensible and very spiritual
woman remarked to me during a con-
yersation on the spiritual life: Il
have thought and reflected upon
human life and human affairs as they
are recorded all down the long and
mysterious ages, and have arrived
at the conclusion that, after all these
changes ami claims Of progress and
advancement to higher levels, l am
persuaded that human life in the
main is just about as it was among
all the nations of the earth In all
lands five or six thousand years ago"
/ was impressed with the very pro-
found sentiment expressed so well by
my friend and I wondered il she
were aware of what great truth in
morals she had then given voice to
so intelligently.
Sometimes we read declaration
of great mind rejecting on sub
ject SO deep and grand and convinc-
ing. that we are awed into silence
and reverence at its teaching to our
immrotal and abiding soul attributes.
The great French divine, NJ. Guizot,
invited us to ascend to new attain
ment when he declared that worlds
and people and all things Of them
selves are incapable of any attain
ment unless acted upon by the spirit
of creation and of providence. If a
human soul is not changed by the
spirit of divinity, it is never changed.
1t has to be acted upon.
Recently / read a brief quotation
made in an address delivered at .he
Park Avenue e. church in New
York City. wherein it was announced
that Since Adam delved and Eve
stitched, there has not been the
slightest intrinsic change in the
human mind" This was said by Ed
ward Mitchell. one of the editors of
the New York Sun. The New York
Sun enjoys the fame of being one of
the model journals of that city and
of all the United States. This dis
tinction is due to the superior talents
and ability employed on that journal,
in its literary excellence and its

THE COWBOYS PRAYER.

Oh. Lord I've never lived where churches grow;
i love creation better it stood
That day You finished 1t SO long ago
And looked upon Your work and called 1t good.
Il know that others find You in the light
That's sifted down through tinted window panes-
And yet seem to feel You near tonight
In the dim, quiet starlight the plains.
/ thank You, Lord, that placed WELL
That You have made my freedom complete
That Pm slave of whistle clock or bell,
Or weak eyed prisoner of wall or street.
just let live my life I've begun
And give work that's open to the sky;
Make a partner of the Wind and Sun
And / won't ask life that's soft high.
Let me be easy the man that's down
And make square and generous with all:
I'm careless sometimes, Lord when I'm in TOWN.
But never let them say I'm mean small.
Make big and the plains
AS honest the horse between my knees
Clean the wind that blows behind the rain,
Free the hawk that circles down the breeze.
Forgive. me, Lord, when sometimes / forget
You understand the reasons that hid;
You know about the things that gall and fret,
You know better than my mother did.
Just keep eye on all that's done and said
Just right sometimes when turn aside
And guide me the long, dim trail ahead
That stretches upward toward the Great Divide.

DON'T WANT TO Do POLICE WORK.

1t seems to be the intention OF the wal ue-
partment TO keep a great army OF Americans
in Europe for an indefinite period. Inc coun-
try had been expecting that all not enlisted for
definite term would be discharged as soon as
possible after peace became an established 1acL
even though it had not been officially proclaim
ed. In aiming to discourage the position taken
by the war department, Representative Green,
of Iowa, has introduced bill providing that
the army of occupation should consist entirely
of regulars and volunteers and should be linn
tied to ten divisions or five hundred thousand
men, 1t has been reported that an army OF oc-
cupation of thirty-two divisions was to be
maintained in Europe. Referring to all this,
Mr.. Green says:
1t seems that what might be called joker
orept into the selective service BILL whereby In
stead OF being enlisted the duration OF the war
soldiers were taken during the period OF the "ex-
ing" is over but the language permits the presi
dent to put any construction he desires upon it.
the hearts Of thousands Of patriotic citizens
were to offer their services by volunteering
being in the national guard but to plunge into
dependency thousands of others who thought
that peace would bring the return OF their loved
ones. and relief from the burdens of war
Under no fair construction could the selective
service law possibly construed to cover per
clear that the war department has no Intention
of constituting it and that it is the intention OF
keeping a great army In europe lot an HiaehniIe
period.
This is simply CONSUMPTION in time OF peace.
and utterly opposed to it, SO far as any such
army is up Of drafted The war de-
partment has the power but it has no right TO de
tain these indefinitely.
And according to Edwin L. James, CORES
pondent at Coblenz of the Chicago Tribune and
the New York Times, the American army OF
has started the New Year with the
resolve of keeping on wishing to get home until
they get there. James G. ives assurance that
there was not a man among the Americans who
wanted to go home before November eleventh.
He knows, he says, of none who has not wanted
to go home since then. Our boys went over
seas for action and when affairs reach that
stage when there is no more action, they want
a ticket to the United. States of America. They
are resigned to staying abroad until peace Is
signed but it is going to be sore crowd that is
ordered to do police work after that. The way
to overcome that feeling is pointed out in the
bill introduced by Mr.. Green.
