Tho resolutions. which reflect the

1T goes without saying that the re-
ligious mind OF America favors the
ratification OF the covenant Of he
United states senate. 1t is what
prophets have been predicting from
ISAIAH 10 Tennyscn In its intent and
ages and faiths have been praying for.
It IS the result OF the deliberations OF

Failure Calls for Sacrifice.
TO decline TO ratify il would be to
deny the spirit that moved the United
States 40 enter the war and our sol
dicrs to sacrifice their lives. 1t would
be to disillusion PROSTATE Europe and
ava ening Asia of the dream that the
United States had heard the call to be
the Good Samaritan among the nations.
IL would be to embarrass and largely
negative the force OF the great enter
prses of the American communions for
world reconstruction.

that the religious CommunionS at this
critical stage OF the issue should be-
come afiamc with yea for the early
ratification of the peace treaty with
Germany, and that without amend
