10, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and TyreI"

Surely the meaning of this present
hour is clear: Nations must do unto
others as they would have other ma
lions do unto them. Nations must
enter into the worlds life not merely
to get something. but to give some
thing, and, In some international as
ISOLATION, even to risk something In
the interest Of world justice and world
peace.
For the first time in history the ma
tons of the world are looking con-
scionsIy into the eyes Of Jesus and
know it to be true that he alone has
the secret Of life.

scious of the reality and glory OF
spiritual world.
Christmas is the time when we are
conscious of an unusual desire to be
kind. One day every year the world
suddenly becomes different. Physical
ly speaking, 1t is the same world. The
sky is the same. The streets are the
same. The DEMONSTRATING a touch
of holly here and there-are the same.
But you and and our neighbors are
different. We are more just lin our
judgments, more thoughtful in our at
tention, more unselfish, more kind.
1t is probably true that these sea-
sons of the soul, however fleeing,
leave their mark. We are, perhaps, a
bit more patriotic than we would be
were 1t not for the annual observance
of Memorial day; bit more con-
sciously grateful than we would be
were it not for the annual observance
of Thanksgiving day; bit more re-
ligious than we would be were it not
for the recognition of Lent and the
observance of Easter day. And one
would like to believe that we are a
bit more kind than we would be were
1t not for the observance of Christ
mas.
The very approach Of Christmas has
certain noticeable psychological eff
fects. In 1914 it resulted in a tenn
porary cessation of hostilities. On that
first war Christmas the booming, guns
gave way to Christmas carols, sung in
three languages, as British and French
and German soldiers fraternized be-
tween the lines. In 1918, as the day
drew near which would commemorate
the birth of the Prince of Peace, a
war-weary world dared to hope that
foundations would be laid for endur-
ing peace. The heart of the world is
wrung by the suffering of China, the
tragedy of Armenia, and the pitiful
pleas of the starving children of CEN
trail Europe. Is there any man any
where, not degenerate, who is not
conscious of desire to diminish by
ever so little the worlds distress?

What If every man who goes into
business should say to himself: My
primary object is to render service.
Incidentally, / expect this business Of
mine to earn me living. But my first
concern shall be to serve my COM
munity.
What If every man who learns a
trade should say to himself: AS car
penter, or bricklayer, or type-setter,
or molder, my primary object Is. to
render service. i am entitled to just
proportion Of the product of my labor,
and hope to get it. But my first con-
Germ shall be to serve my community.
Do you think that men are incapa-
BILE of responding to any such motive
as that? How, then, do you account
for the martyrdom Of history How
do you account for the men who have
given their lives to the pursuit Of
truth? Or for the women who have
given their lives to the dissemination
Of knowledge? How do you account
for the worlds scientists and for it's
school teachers? And the men who
made a rendezvous with death at Bel
leau wood and the Argonne forest
how do you account for them2
p There is divinity in human hearts
to which heroic unselfishness makes
powerful appeal. Why not try the ex-
pertinent Of appealing to the nobler
side of human nature? The motive
of profit has tragically failed. Why
not appeal to the motive of service?
