defeat such conspiracy and vindi-
ate the power of the League for its
Useful ends.
What we are now answering is the
objection that there will be lot of
little wars all over the world in which
we shall be engaged, which will claim
our money and our men. 1t is in
restraint of the smaller war in which
a large nations attempts to bully a
weaker one that the minatory effect
of the League will be SO controlling
The result will be that the League
having the power completely to sup
press the bullying nation will not
need to exercise that power. Indeed
it is hardly too much to say that the
nations of the League will never need
to go beyond the effective discipline
of universal boycott. But if such
war does break out in which we
shall deem it our duty to intervene
under Article x, or the other articles
one instance of suppression by the
joint forces of the League will be
lesson to the world, not needing
repetition. 1t will be worth all it
costs in demonstrating that the way
of the transgressor who breaks tn
covenants of the League will be hard.

on an priori reasoning. We have i.
our own history a striking confirma-
ton of it. n 1928, the Holy Alliance
consisting of all the powerful nations
of Europe except Great Britain, gave
indication of, an intention to aid
Spain in recovering her last colonies
in this Western Hemisphere. We had
recognized the independence of those
colonies, Canning, the British Minis
ter for Foreign Affairs, urged upon
President Monroe and John Quincy
Adams, the secretary of state, the
wisdom of uniting with England in a
League to resist the Holy Alliance in
overthrowing independence of these
new American states. Thomas Jeffer-
son was consulted, and he advised
League with England, which
he said would not be an entangling
alliance against which he had warned
his countrymen, but would be justi-
fled by its great public purpose. Mon
roe and Adams, however, thought i
wiser to act alone. John C. Calhoun,
the secretary of war, advised strongly
against sole action. Nevertheless,
President Monroe in his message o.
that year, made the declaration WI Ct
has since been known as the Monroe
Doctrine, and notified the members
of the Holy Alliance that the United
States would regard any attempt
their part to overthrow an independ-
ent state in the Westeren Hemisphere

Chances of War Remote

There is a third answer to people
who object that Article X is likely
to involve us in wars all over the

Those who look to the successful
operation of the League do not ex-
poet war at all. The obligation of
the members of the League to i'm
pose in the first instance an universal
boycott against recalcitrant faith

going smoothly in the toy industry.
There Is no doubt that the American
toy product Is every bit as good as, If
not better than that made in Germany,
although It is usually more expensive
because the price of labor is higher in
this country. American toymakers

Every moment, Lord, I need
The merit of thy death.

Finally, Paul speaks of the judgment
of the Lord, concerning which several
interesting statements are made.
To begin with, the Lords judgment
will be complete, for he will bring to
light the hidden things of darkness
and will make manifest the counsels
of the hearts," This is a solemn
thought, yet how comforting! Only
God knows the deepest things in us
and we shall be manifested at the
judgment seat of Christ. A story is
told of a man who had a reputation
of being most miserly. After his death
it was discovered that he had pinched
and saved to bless a woman whom he
had loved years before and who had
married another, and to help her chill
dren. The money that came so mys-
teriously to that poverty-stricken fam
lily, and which made education and all
good things possible, came from the
miser who lived in the next street and
whose name was a by-word in all the
town. What revelations the "day of
Christ" holds for us!

Visions.

The visions that came in olden time
we're always to make clearer some path
of duty. 1t is still the same. The new
revelation of truth, the new lesson
learned through sorrow or struggle,
some moment that brings a swift new
understanding of life-these are sure
to be followed by some new call to
service. The TRANSPORTATION on the
mountain top does not mean an ascent
into heaven, but a preparation for go
ing back to the duties of earth.

If We Knew.

If life in the world to come be so per-
feet, why do we not know more about
it? Why is not more revealed? For
a very excellent reason: If we knew
the things God hath prepared for
them that love him, no one of us were
willing to stay on earth even to
finish his days work. "'Tis blessed
not to know" but this we know: Be-
yond the mists of death lie the De-
lectable mountains. "We shall obtain
joy and gladness, and sorrow and
signing shall flee away."-Rev. G. G.

Judgment of God.
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1919-02-21

Good men have been frequently mis-
judged by the world. One of the most
godly of all the missionaries Of the
church was James Evans, who minis
tered to the Indians of the frozen
north. He incurred the hostility of
officials of the Hudson Bay company
because he taught the Indians to rest
from their 1abors on the Lords Day,
although he demonstrated to the COM
pany's officials that those resting one
day in the week did more work than
those who labored seven days. When
Evans went to England he was re-
ceived coldly everywhere and was sur
prised and broken hearted over the
fact. Then he learned that a cam
paign of misrepresentation had been
carried on against him and he under
stood this cool reception. Justice was
finally done him, but how hard to bear
such an experience as his!
However, even when the world has
the best of intentions toward us, its
judgment is likely to be wrong. Jesus
said: "Woe unto you when all men
speak well of you" On the other
hand, he said: BLESSED are ye when
men shall revile you and persecute
you and say all manner of evil
against you falsely for my names
sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad"
AS a matter Of fact, the worlds
standards of judgment are wrong. Our
text throws much light on this point.
In the margin of our Bibles, the word
Judgment" is here translated "day,"
so that Paul is saying: SIT is a very
small thing that I should be judged of
mans day." "Man's day" is contrasted
with the "day of the Lord" which is
still to come. The principles which
govern "man's day" are not the prin-
ciples of the Lord but rather of Satan,
who is "the God of this age" Hence,
Christian may expect to be mis-
judged by the world, for he is a pill
grim and stranger here. The Pilgrims
in Vanity Fair, as John Bunyan has
pictured them, were looked on as out
landish men and people took them for
Bedlamites. ''The world knoweth us
not"
Next, Paul goes on to speak of self
judgment. What an arresting state
ment-"I know nothing against my
self" Certainly he was not one OF
those who turn the grace of God int
1asciviousness. Although not under
law he insisted that the Righteousness:
of the law should be fulfilled in u
who walk after the spirit. He knew
nothing against himself.
But he Immediately goes on to say
''Yet am not hereby justified" Pau
knew too well the imperfection of hu
, man self-judgment. Had he not one
honestly thought he did God service b,
} prosecuting Christians, and did he no
J approve the murder of Stephen? Eve
if there is no sin in our consciousness
it may lurk beneath consciousness
