PASTORPO|NTS Way
To END WARS AND
BRING REAL PEACE
Or KistIer, in ArmiStice Day
Sermon, Shows Need for
Righteous Ideals.

Much of this day agitation for
world court by which to settle dis
putes among the nations Is valueless,
because II, too, is a mere palliative for
wrongs already done rather than
cure for the temper which does the
wrong" said DR.. Edward Haines Kist-
Ter. Sunday. in his Armistice day ger
mon in the Fourth Presbyterian
Church.
What is sought in asking peace?"
DIR. Kistler asked "Tacitus pointed
out long ago how Some make a desert
and call it peace!' 1t is not enforced
rigor In obedience to others demands.
1t lies in a most harmonious concord
of all forces, according to an under
lying principle of unity.
"A soul is at peace when its powers
IA actively working together through
out all relations of it's life. A nation
has peace when its activities are most
completely at work in the harmony of
prosperity A world likewise can have
peace only as it's parts hold concord
ant ideals and aims.
Shows What World
Court Depends Upon
How can this be done? Your world
court itself must depend. lacking the
force to execute its decisions. on a
harmonious spirit in all its clients.
otherwise its decisions, under real or
assumed provocation, will again be-
come but scraps Of paper
World peace then depends on the
building up of righteously similar
ideals in all nations. First of all in
this process will lie a rewriting of the
educational material given IN. the ma
tional schools. dethroning national
heroes in favor of national puIists in
ideals
For this principle no better basis
has vet been found than the old Ten
Commandments as deepened into laws
of spiritual attitudes by the love rule
Of Jesus. Business relations among
all men mus be revolutionized, un-
til no strong nation or corporation
takes advantage of the weak and ig-
norant in az tho world. So men must
renake their world in all its parts TO
bring a true world peace.
The Church Must Insist
Upon Character in People
Since this involves a deeper need,
the church insists that character
forming in individuals, though slow,
is the only safe foundation-building.
Hence. true missions worldwide must
herald the power of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God. to accomplish all these
ideals. And these must be accom-
panied by an evangelism which truly
makes way for the Prince of Peace
and His overlordship in each individual
soul Until this becomes worldwide
wars will continue. even aggressive
wars. This the Master foresaw when
He foretold their continuance until
He actually comes and rules the
whole world.
THE call to peace. therefore, Is far
more an insistent call TO a truer work
for the souls OF men everywhere than
IT is a demand for another piece OF
machinery which lacks the full power
needed to make men and nations love
each other.
yet it is such q piece Of machinery
and truly Christian nations. and ours
among them, should set 1t up, abide
by it's decisions. refrain from need
less wars, while becoming so much
the more active in bringing to the
souls of men the Divine Recreator
who alone can bring true peace to
the soul and the world" DR.. Kistler
said.

It Is presumably a continuation
of it, since Christ said that He

Never take anything for
What is every mans business
is no mans business.
They can do least who boast
loudest.
No one ever repented having
held his tongue.
He is a weak friend who can
not bear with his friends weak
ness.
A fool says. II can't: q wise
man says, "I'll try"
A promise neglected is an un-

It is better to desire than to
enjoy, to love than to be loved.
A mans errors are what render
him amiable.
The extreme pleasure we take
in talking of ourselves should
make us fear that we give very
little to those~who listen to us.
Self-love makes men ldolize
themselves and would make them
tyrants over others IL fortune
were to give them the means.
In all the affairs Of human life,
social as well as political, cour-
tesies of small and trivial char
acter are the ones that strike
deepest to the grateful and APP
preciative heart.
It is an ill thing to be deceived,
but worse to deceive.
If things look bad today they
may look better tomorrow.
Curiosity often brings it's own
punishment.
The worth Of a thing Is best
known by the want.
It is in retirement that one

viously threatened" according to
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, spiritu-
alism's most earnest defender in
England
Returning from his recent lee
ture tour of Canada and the
United States, Sir Arthur out
lined his views on the future Of
spiritualism. He boldly charac-
terized spiritualism az the creed
that ''will be the end of the dark
ages in which we now live"
Sir Arthur prefaced his views
on the future Of spiritualisrn by
a detailed recital of evidence
which he asserted proved conclu-
sively the existence of an inte1li-
gence back Of the various spiritu-
alistic phenomena. He asserted
that tests performed for the bene-
fit of skeptical scientists had
proved to the satisfaction of the
skeptics that psychic manifesto
tons are controlled by a definite
intelligence.

point at issue them" said Sir
Arthur, lis whose intelligence
Is it? Is 1t the intelligence Of
the entranced medium? Is it
the Subconscious intelligence
Of the combined company? Is
1t an independent intelligence?
Surely, when 1t takes the
extreme form of naturalization
and walking about the room, as
it recently did in experiments
conducted before a French COM
mittee Of scientists, one cannot
hesitate to say that the intelli-
gence Is an independent one. If
that be granted our whole case Is
won, for we cannot conceive any
discarnate intelligences save
those which have lived upon
