the principles of Jesus. He empha-
sized the worth of the individual and
that lay among the foundation stones
in our national building, and to such
an idea we revert with high joy. But
a white individual was worth more
than one with a skin of another hue
and therein lies the sting while as we
face tomorrow it is with the confident
hope that for those who look back to
our own day no such sting shall ex-
list. And we must make so clear the
teaching that the nation shall grow
toward the Christian ideals by having
the home, the church, the state, en-
body those ideals in the practice of to-
day.
LOYALTY TO LAW
Paul had no brief for the Roman
government. There was a higher
Ruler than Mere, but it was the visi.
BILE expression of that higher law and
to it one owes obedience. 1t might be
pagan in many of its, principles, it
might represent a selfish lust for pow
er, but it was one of the God-given in
situations and as such should be sup
ported. Its ideas of law, its endeavor
divergent views made it an instru-
ment that served the best interests. of
many and was the only authority in
sight. To it men should give allegi-
ance, and it would have been fatal for
the church of that period to have been
the teacher of sedition. That the
Christian church has never been, tho
it may have abetted revolution as it
did in the Colonies. A Christian an
archist is as possible as DIR. Jekyl and
Mr.. Hyde, and as logical. For no
nation or society can live without law
and loyalty to it is fundamental to a
stable government and state. Par
ticularly is this true where it is the
result of the action of representatives
of the majority of the people and has
taken the form which commends it to
that majority as most serviceable to
the life of the land. Boston learned
its lesson in the police strike and Gov.
Coolidge became a national force be-
cause of his maintenance of law and
order. Law will always lag behind
the high vision of the best states
men, but it does represent the moral
level of its advance. Law is the rip
pie mark left upon the shore line of
life. 1t may be wiped out by higher
tide or effaced by the feet of the
throng, but there will be other marks
on other days. To pay heed to it is
part of the code, so long as it is the
duty of Christian folk to see that it
is enforced. And there is no greater

SUNDAY, JUNE 5.
MAKING THE NATION CHRIS
TIAN.
Righteousness exalteth a nation; but
sin is a reprOach to any people
Proverbs 14:34
U. S. WRIGHT.
WHAT IS A NATION?
We have gotten away from the pos
sibility of any man saying as did
Louis XIV, 81 am the State" To him
the definition of nationality was the
simplest thing he knew, but with the
growth of the democratic ideas there
has come difficulties of which he never
dreamed. In his Bedell Lectures,
President Faunce, of Brown Univer-
sity, points out the fact that if it is
a matter of race, then we can have no
claim any more than can the British
Empire. Nor is a single language
valuable as it is in enabling each to
share the ideas of all, for Switzer-
land has three official tongues. Relig-
ion comes no nearer i'm giving a term
that will embody the idea, for they are
all represented under our colors. &c,
ography does no better, as the tangled
and entangled lines of Europe's boun-
diaries testify. Austria, with its long
past, and Russia, with it's wonderful
history have dropped apart like bar
rel of marbles. Alsace in spite of its
absorption by Germany, is French,
and Poland has kept its sense of ma
tionality through all it's years of mar
tyrdom. One government even will
not answer the riddle, for Armenia
lived under the Turkish flag and was
never Turkish any more than are some
who have spent their days under the
Stars and Stripes and refuse to be-
come Americans. DIR. Faunce says:
ga nation is a collective memory and
a collective hope A nation is cemen-
ted by remembered sacrifice and main
tanned by expected devotion" The
thrill of great idea to which men
have given their best service that has
often dripped red, is the heritage into
which youth comes in this great group
we call our nation and faces turn ex-
pectantly toward a greater tomorrow
in which all shall share. Our nation
is a heritage and hope. 1t is a liv-
ing, growing thing in which each per
son is a part. Our task is to teach the
truth about our past so that the men,
cries that are cherished shall be those
without sting, because they embody

II that conference fails
the outlook is dark indeed"
walls Editor Johnson.
Well, Mister Johnson, I regret
to break the sad news to you, but
it will fail. Just as sure as God
is in heaven, it will fail. And
from a human standpoint the
outlook certainly is dark. But
there is a bright side to it that
you do not see. However, there
is no use 20 tell you about that
you wouldn't believe it.
There are several reasons why
the Disagreement Conference
will be just that and nothing else.
To start with, the conference
will be composed Of the wrong
sort of men. and they will come
with selfish and dishonest mo-
tives. And besides that, they will
try to do it all in their own hu.
man strength, without even a
bare acknowledgement that a
Higher Power exists. They will
simply ignore God in. all their
deliberations, just like they did at
Versailles three years ago. Even
il the So called Christian nations
we're really Christian-and they
are not-they would still have
Japan and China to deal with,
and it would be an insult to Japan
and China to mention any God
except a wooden one. Our good
Christian nations will think it is
more important to please the
heather than to please God, and
so they will just leave God out OF
it. Just watch and see if they
don't.
| And yet I am invited to gel
down and dirty my new breeches
praying to God to guide, direct
and bless a gang of heathens
who will not even acknowledge
that there is any God. Well,

advice from me.

THAT HEATHEN CONFAB.

My very e1ninently respectable
orthodox friend, Mr.. Archibald
Johnson, the able editor of Char
ity and Children, is generally
supposed to be an incurable
optimist. But it seems that the
general hellhentness Of the times
is beginning to tell On Editor
Johnson's nerves. In IL recent
editorial touching on and apper-
tanning to the forthcoming Disa-
greement Conference, he rumin-
ates in the manner following:
Perhaps few of our people have
realized tae tremendous Importance
Of the conference to be held in Wash
ington by the foremost nations of the
world beginning ON the day the arm
istice was signed three years ago. If
that conference fails to hasten the
day of universal peace for which the
weary world is longing, the outlook
is dark indeed. 1t is proposed by the
Presbyterians of the South that day
of prayer. be appointed by all Chris
tian denominations, that the Lord
will lead the nations in this great
conference to sound and safe and
| righteous conclusions. That greed Of
gain shall have no place in the coun-
sells Of the wise men, and that each
nation shall have one end and aim in
view, and that the general good of
all. This suggestion, which has been
made by our brethren, is eminently
| wise, and we hope Christians of every
name will fall in with the proposal
and that millions of the Lords chill.
dren On the designated day on bended
knee will ask for divine guidance to
the representatives assembled in our
national capital. If ever there was
need for a national prayer meeting
that time is now.''
| Well, yes.
| 1t is important in a way.
| At least, it ought to be.
It could be avery important
step toward peace if the rea.
friends Of peace had charge Of it.
But since the whole thing will be
made up Of slick duck politicians,
each one scheming to feather
his own national nest, the chances
are ten to one that it will be {

ward another big war.
