Everyday Religion
Not Talk on Theology, But Upon Life
and Right Living.
BY RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, d. d..
Bishop OF Washington.

! is demonstrably true that there are
! more and higher forms of generous
giving of means and self today than
the world has ever known. At this
late day we are beginning to catch
something OF the real spirit of Him
who said, II came not to be minis
tered unto. but to minister" The
flee that the world has ever known
is presented by Him who said.
Greater love hath no man than this
that man lay down his life for
his friends"
There is no more beautiful sign
upon the horizon today than this
widespread revival of deep. loving hu-
man interest, and human interest be
1t remembered. that is utterly con-
| terminous with human needs the
world over We used to think in
terms of the neighborhood or the
| community in which we lived. but
today we are learning that God hath
made of one blood all nations of
men, and whether it be the starving
children of Europe, the millions of
sufferers in far-away China or a cry
that comes out of the heart of dark
est Africa. multitudeS rise to respond
to it and the spirit of universal
brotherhood receives thereby a new
interpretation.
There used to be much talk, and it
was based upon false conception
of Christianity, about the free Cos
pei There is no free Gospel, and
there is no such thing as an utterly
free salvation. a notable example of
this false conception was brought to
our attention some years ago by a
prominent clergyman. In his con-
gregation was a man who fell under
the spell of his preaching and became
converted. He seemed utterly sin
Cere, but after the lapse Of a year
L have had great experience, in
fact, the finest of my life, and the
best thing ! have to say about your
religion is that it's so cheap. It's
only cost me q shilling throughout
the entire year." The rector, with
large wisdom, rejoined, "If that is all
it has cost you, it is all it's worth" "
1t had been an attempt at service
without sacrifice. The man was
simply a common mendicant, seeking
the favor <of God and the approval
Of men, without the consciousness of
his own deep obligation.
Service and sacrifice are related
vitally and intimately TO everything
that concerns our relations with God
and our fellows. The gist of this
whole matter is that true happiness
and true religion are predete rmined
by a service of sacrifice that is costly
and eXacting.

with the eighteenth amendment. and
that the Volstead act must in reality
become the law Of the land.
The platforms of the Republican
and Democratic parties are not en-
tirely satisfactory in the pledges
given on prohibition. The candidates
of these parties have good records,
and it is reasonable to conclude that
they both can be depended on to op-
pose any attempt on the part of a
certain element in Congress to change
the present Jaw.
The La toilette Wheeler platform
Is silent on the prohibition question.
All of this would seem TO indicate
that there is little difference, from
the women's point of view, in regard
to the four measures in which the
women are interested between the
Democratic and the Republican plat
forms, whereas in the La Toilette
Wheeler platform the difference is
very marked. Then, as to candidates,
each woman voter will decide for her
self as to which one of these inspires
her with confidence as to leadership
and his ability to carry out his and
his party's pledges.
II this were all there would be no
serious situation confronting the
woman voters in this campaign. But,
unfortunately, platforms and candi-
dates are not the only issues in this
election. There is a much more deep
rooted and serious condition confront
ing both men and women in every
section of the country. There is a

which has been just raised, mainly in
the United States and Britain.
Not imposSibly, If the moderates
win. the republic itself may survive
| indefinitely. Certainly 1T is not popu-
lar In Germany, and there never has
been any such republican sentiment
as has existed in France for more
than a century and in most other Eu-
| ropean countries for several decades.
There seems little doubt that a ma
Jor1ty of Germans, IL consulted at any
time during the past five years. would
have advocated some form Of mon
archy. But there is no more agree
ment now than at any previous time
as to what form should be adopted
and what dynasty shall occupy the
throne which has been vacant now
for nearly five years.
Pending the German election interna-
tonal relations must now come to an
abrupt halt Until Europe knows what
| men and what principles are to dom
mate Germany all calculations are inn
possible. Mr.. AsQuith's notorious phrase
Wait and see," must be the watchword
everywhere. In the end it may turn out
that the result Of the campaign will
turn upon the attitude of German big
business. 1t would seem that this would
inevitably rally to the support of the
Dawes plan, but it can hardly support
this without giving it's adherence to the
republic. -
Real Test OF German Temper.
In any event the real test Of the Ger
man state of mind, the fairest and best
since the close of the war, is at hand.
If there is new Germany, and not an
undisguised survival Of the old, the fact
can hardly fail to be disclosed in the
election returns. And If it is disclosed
there Is pretty sure to be great, IL still
gradual, revision of opinion with re-
spect to Germany in the countries
which were recently at war with her.
Ever since the war it has been a fire.

legitimate criticism of allied policy that
it has utterly failed to give any aid to
the liberal and democratic elements in
Germany, and by contrast played into
the hands of the old gang Now a VIC
tory by these same moderate elements
would create a situation in which the
governments OF France and Great Brit
ain. and to a less extent that of the
United States, would have every pos
sible reason for giving proof Of their
friendliness. Napoleon III once capital
lied nightly the statement, THE en-
proved ridiculously inexact in the end

mean peace. but that it's existence is
at stake, and with it the peace of Eu-

mary OF the most lHpor tdHl I
news of the world. for the
seven days ended November 1:
The British Empir-In the British
general elections on October 20, the
Conservatives won whooping ma
jority of seats in the new Parliament.
The late lamented Parliament in
cIuded 258 Conservatives. 1913 Labor
ties, and 1853 Liberals. The new Par
lament will eb made up approximate
1y as follows: Conservatives. 406; La
borites, $50; Liberals, 81; others, III.
The Liberals, it is seen, were hit
much harder than were the Laborites.
Mr.. Asquith. the Liberal chief and
perhaps the most distinguished man
in British public life. was defeated at
Paisley, q constituency that has voted
Liberal for 80 years past, by, a Labor
lite.
Forty-one women stood for election,
but only four won seats; as against
eight in the late Parliament. Lady
Astor, the Duchess of Atholl and Mrs.
Hilton Philipson, were reelected, and
Miss Wilkinson, Laborite and mas
ter of arts Of Manchester University,
enters Parliament for the first time.
Glasgow, citadel of the Clydeside gen.
try, went half Conservative. Not so
many years ago Scotland was accounted
the Liberal solid north; now not one
Liberal represents any of the larger
Scotch towns.
The extraordinary landslide is, Of
course, unusual, but 1t is not unpre-
cedented. In 1906. for example, Con-
seryative and Liberal-Unionist majority

popular majority. But it would be a
sufficiently precarious one.
1t is the general understanding
that the Labor government will re-

the business of the Zinoviev letter,
resigning, probably, some day Of the
coming week. Stanley B8ldWfn, 1t

COSTLY SERVICE.

II SAMUEL xiv: Neither will offer un-
TO the Lord my God, of that which doth cost
me nothing.
"HE only form of service that
bears the hallmark of efficiency
is service that involves sacri-
fee 1t was our New England
poet who wrote
Not what we give. hut what We share.
. For the gift without the giver is bare.
Now and again we come across
incidents, especially in the Old Testa-
ment. obscure and largely unfamiliar.
that contain lessons of Incompatible
value. III the closing passages of
the historical books of Samuel a
story is told concerning an incident
that contains lesson of infinite
value. The king had come to offer
his sacrifices to God, and in his search
for 4 fit place to pay his devotion
he was told. Go up, rear an altar
unto the Lord in the threshing floor
Of Arunah the Jebusite.'
In fulfllment of this command, he
had sought out this ancient miller.
and when the latter saw him, filled
with grave fears and apprehensions.
he said. Wherefore is my lord ehe
king come And David said, ITO
buy the threshing floor of thee to
response to this Arunah offered
freely not only the threshing floor,
bat the oxen fer the burnt sacrifice.
He was ready and willing to do his
part that the devotiors and sacrifices
of the king might be fully and COM
pletely made. But David said to the
miller. Nay. but l will surely buy it
of thee at a price; neither will l offer
burnt offerings to the Lord my God
OF that which doth cost me nothing"
= = :: =
The readiness Of this ancient miller
to do his generous part is only
equaled by the fine chivalry of the
king. who recognized that service
without sacrifice is both worthless
and useless. However ready the king
might be to use the gifts and talents
of men in the service of his country,
he could not and he would not take
aught of his neighbors when il came
70 an act of devotion or service to
his God.
The whole incident establishes a
principle Of conduct or a habit of life
that is worthy of large considera ton.
Our generation, perhaps more than
any other that has gone before, has
witnessed new forms of service and
sacrifice, and we are learning today
TO our infinite profit not only the
JOY of giving, but the joy and privil-
egc of serving. No matter how dere-
lict we may be in other matters, it

which is better going on account of the ice to travel on. At the mouth of the river we met Keesik, Native boy, so we left our sled and went over to his place that night. Keesik had been down the coast that day, which was the first good day we had since the storm started. He told us of seeing tracks which were those of a white man who seemed to have frozen feet because he was taking very short steps.
 Scarborough had missed Keesik's cabin on Konganevik Point, although he found the other cabin about nine miles below there, where he had gone inside and tried to start a fire with some yarn which he had torn from his mitten strings, but he failed to get the fire started, probably because his hands were too cold or his match es wet. From the cabin his tracks were followed right straight out on the ice to an open lead where no traces of him could be found MT. Lar son concludes his letter by stating that had MT. Scarborough followed the beach he would have found cabin in either direction in ten miles.

Scarborough, the Il Canning River on a hunting trip and we were returning with a load of fresh meat. We had travelled three days down river which was slow going, on account of overflows on the ice and heavy load. We camped on Nov ember 26, about forty-five miles from the mouth of the river. Scarborough spoke of going straight to Flaxman Island the next day, which he said could not be as far as we said it was. He was warned by myself and part ner not to try that, not even to leave the sled as some accident might be- fall him. He had gotten his feet wet the day before this in the overflows. On the morning November 27th, we left out tent early in the morning to get the benefit of the morning moon. Scarborough left about twenty min utes before the sled. About three hours after we left camp a wind came up which turned into 2 blinding bliz- gard which made travelling with the sled slow although the wind was near ly at our backs. We could not see where we were going travelling only by following the ice Evidently Scar borough never stopped. He tried to make Flaxman Island camp for we never saw him again.
