to witness to both Jew and Gentle Of
the great goodness. We should rec

the heroic men Of the past. Italians
are the kinsman of the man who dis
covered America. Bohemians are the
countrymen of John Huss. Polanders
should remind us of Chopin and Cop

SCORES THE PRoFlrEERs.
The psalmist says, "Cet my
mouth be filled with thy praise.
Again, What shall | render unto
the Lord for all His benefits?
will take the cup of salvation and
call on the name Of the Lord A
life OF praise and of surrender.
I'VE can express in a most
practical way by seeking to serve
Him with our entire being earn
estIy in all walks Of life. We need
a, positive Christian citizenship in
the nation today.
The past two years have re-
vealed that not all are patriots
who shout the Ioudest and are 90
forward in their claims. Many
have become millionaires in
short time. They seem to think
Just because it is the public funds
they have perfect right to change
and few hours. Prclong the Job
for the profit of the few at the
expense of the many. We need q
rghteousness that will do by the
government as by an individual.
There is ground for investigation
IN many quarters. Such offenders
should be punished just as much
as some of the Reds tor tney are
no better.
GOD NOT CONSULTED ON
LEAGUE.
Then we have the spectacle of
operators, miners, labor confer
ences and the presidents cabinet
in deadlock over the coal and
fuel problem while women and
children suffer from cold and the
wheels of industry cease TO move.
You can't call that patriotism.
This only proves that we do not
possess the righteousness that
esalteth nation, but there 10 sin
that is our rcproach.
The league of nations has gone
down to it's first defeat and many
of US have cried out What . pity
But we wonder IL il 10 not best

agreed on after long discussion
and God was never sought in
prayer once. God who turned the
tide Of battle 80 that right won
rather tran might was shelved
when it was over and mon sat
down to frame a pact for the ma
tons without God.
The league will not settle this
embroiled world. This country
and the world needs God and with
OUT Him all man may plan will
come to naught. 1t is ours to in
sist that Jehovah God be given His
right vi place. It is time the
church was having her inning in
the PRONUNCIATION of the highest
life and warn men and nations
that he who leaves out or fiohts

break out again like fsstsring
