It is the call to sacrifice that makes the deepest appeal It was the iron note in Nelson's challenge that stirred mems blood. It was this note that made our boys clear the Argonne forest When Garibaldi ventured on the great enter prise of redeeming Italy he said to his generals: can promise you neither riches nor honor. I can promise you naught but wounds and toll, thirst and aungcr. hardships and death. But if ye come with me I can promise you to lay down your life for the cause of Italy s life and liberty And after moments $ pause a great, strong cry went out, We are the men. Sacrifice won. Behind our unromantic lives there sleeps a latent hero. It is he that hears the challenge of the cross and with devouring passicn we go out to do his will"

not allow man to tear down his

Jesus is not a reign of terror
1t is founded not on equality hit
fraternity. Christ knows nothing of
equality. God made no two things
alike in His world--no two trees. no
two leaves on tree. Everywhere
there is individualism, and this in
dividualism is sacred. What He
wants is not sameness, but good will.
not imitation, but self-expression.

through character. rather than in
heritance. 1t sets before every man
an open door, and leaves him 10 de-
