SPECIFIES ON
ARTICLE X

MARION, O.. July ia bin OF par
ticulars detailing the foreign policy
now proposed by the Democratic
party has been called for by senator
Harding, the Republican nominee for
President.
In a broadslde of pointed interrO-
gatories The candidate challenged his
Democratic opponent, Governor Cox,
10 say categOrically where he stood
on Article X, the Armenian mandate
and heh other problems wrapped up in
American particiuation In the League
OF Nations.
Yesterdays White House conference
between Governor Cox and President
Wilson, Senator Harding said. could
not be fully explained by a statement
OF a complete accord" lie declared
Tine American people not only would
ask whether The Democratic nominee
had put Mr. Wilson In charge OF the
campaign and shOuldercd completely
the administrations program OF for
eign commitments, but would demand
TO be informed also Just what those
commitments are.
1T Is earnestly 10 be hoped" con-
tinucd the nominee, that Governor
Cox viii frankly and promptly answer
these questions, because the Republi-
can party wants the country 10 know
it rejects all of these ill-cOnsidered
commitments and pledges It's admin
istration against them"
Senator Harding's Statement
Senator Harding's statement was
written while the conference in Wash
lngion was I'm progress, and last night
he had nothing TO add 10 it In The
circle Of his close advisers, however,

have a great deal more TO say unless
his questions were answered.

Elsker - Diet er Guds oprin-

nesker.
Gud er selv Kerlighed, og det
vii sige, at han elsker. Hans For
hold til os Mennesker er Ker-
hghed. Oprindelig viste han sin
Kerlighed til os we'd at skabe
os i sit Billede, og siden, da de
forste Mennesker syndede, og de-
res hele Slegt d%erigennem blew
fordervet, elskede han os saale-
des, at han CAV sin enbaarne
Son for at hyer den, SON Wide
tro paa ham, like skulde forta.
bes, men have evigt Liv.
Gud elsker saaledes like blot
Venner, men ogsaa Fjender. Og
Diet fordrer han, at vi som Skab-
ringer i hans Billede ogsaa skal
gore.
Og Gud er prakti 5 k i sin
Kerlighed imod os Mennesker.
Her starr: ,,Thi han lader sin
Sol opgaa over onde og code og
lader regne over retferdige og
uretferdige."
Fjendskab kan like undgaas
j denne af Synden fordervede
Slagt. Jesus forudsetter som
givet, at hans Disciple vii have
F.jender i Verden.
Men Fjendskab er noget ondt,
og Diet er nOk, at onde MEME
skier h a d e IS; om vi saa deri-
mod elsker dem, saa bliver Ha-
Diet kun ensidigt, og Kerlighed
er ct langt virksommere Middel
til at overvinde eller yinde vor
Fjende, end Had er.
Havde dette Jesu Bud veret
praktiseret, i vor oplyste og eli
viliserede It'd, a var der ingen
V~erdenskrig blevet.
Al O~plysning og Civilization
kommer ynkelig til kort, hvor
dette Bud glemmes eller like
praktiseres: ,,Du skal elske din
Neste som dig selv'' og ,elsker
elders Fjender.
Det Sp9rgsmaal kunde jo rel
ses her, ON Diet er muligt at ell
ske Fjenden under Krig, elske
den, man kemper imod. En- Ting
er sikker: der er like megen
Kerlighed til Fjenden under
Krig, og dog er Diet jo like umu-
ligt for en- Kristen at onske, at
Diet MATTE gaa Fjenden vel,
sely ON Diet skulde ske gennem
Nederlag og Ydmygelse.
Men nu har vi jo like Krig len-
gere, i hvert Fald like her i
Landet. Og nu gelder Diet net

sus siger: Elsker eders Fjender
Og hvad Paulus siger med mere
praktisk Anyendelse ,,Dersom
din Fjende hungrer, Civ ham
Mad, dersom han forster, Civ
ham Drikke" Rom. IL, 20).
Det har bedrevet os at err

Bidrag til National lutheran

Selv ON Diet var vor v@rste

ste Made at vinde ham paa.
Og vi er som oftest altfor

siger: Mine Born, lader os like
