Often have i thought since then.
How true ia that Of the condition Of
the world. We fit from first one
thing to another; through this door
and then that one. Ever seeking to
find the way to a Universal Peace.
But each time we find that we are
but little nearer. IL any. to the great
objective we seek. We may try the
limitation Of ornaments; q League OF
Nations; an association of nations,
or anything else we may like, but
only one thing will answer and en-
dure. All the time we are in the mad
search for the answer, Christ stands
by sorrowfully watching our futile
efforts, and ready to take US by the
hand and lead us unto that we 50
earnestly seek, If we would but give
His the chance. IL we would but give
u affairs, individually and ma
tionally, into His hands and then just
follow Him. what joy and peace and
happiness the world would know. We
would then come to rest in the har-
Dor Of Gods Peace; the swords Of the
world, beaten into plowshares, and
the spears into pruning hooks; for
more OF Christ in individual life,
means individual peace; more of
Christ in international polity, means
international peace.

ilege of celebrating with the honored
veterans of the Great War. Through

put, put of the machine gun From
the Champaign, the Argonne and YER
dun, whtre 4 saw service, could
bring you tales Of horror that would
make your blood run icy cold; tales
Of hardships that would make your
blood boil with fury. IL Is better,
however, that we forget those things
that but foster hatred, and that the
horribleness OF il all be thrust from
our mind. We should mediate only
upon the bravery Of those boys who
fought so ~valiantly and died so hero
ically, for indeed that is what this
service today is for. / remember one
morning, when after hard and des-
perate fighting, a French general
came rushing up to the general
in charge Of the American sector and
cried, "All is lost. Give the COM
mand to retreat" The American
general replied. my men know no
such command. Men! Forward to
victory!" And on those boys march,
ed. Through paths made slippery
with the blood Of fallen comrades;
over the forms of many a ( riend:
amid the cries Of those wounded and
torn and mangled; on to victory they
marched and fought every foot Of the
way. 1t is such valor and bravery
that knows NJ retreat-that has
made his nation what it is, and that
we come to commemorate this morn
ing.
Another story that tells Of the
bravery and heroism shown BY our
boys is in the one told of a brave
lad that was brought in to the dress
ing station with both arms torn
away. A nurse, in compassion, said,
Poor fellow, how you must suffer,
and how you must regret this loss"
The young fellow smiled and replied,
Il don't know about that. / offered
my life to my country, and she re-
CURED only my arms" Monuments
may crumble, decades and centuries
may come and 90, but ever shall
there live in the hearts OF the people
a memory Of the holy sacrifice Of
our boys for the liberty of the world.
As people are gathered this morn
ing to do honor to the memory Of
those brave lads of yesterday, their
mind is naturally filled with
thoughts of the awful price hat had
TO be paid for the safety of democ-
racy. When the final toll was made
Of those whose lives were given IN
exchange for the worlds liberty, it
reached, in round numbers. nineteen
million, six hundred and fifty-eight
thousand. Should there have been no
other loss as a result of the war.
this is enough to make all stand
agast at the terribleness Of the
catastrophe. Practically twenty mil
lions Of the worlds best and strong
est manhood was destroyed. And this
figure does not take into account the
many manned for life: a limo, an
arm. an eye or lungs gone or i'm
paired in their function. If the bodies
the bodies Of those slain in the war
could he placed in baskets, side by
side. allowing but two feet for each.
they would make a lire longer than
from New York to San Francisco.
Should a person start out TO take n
last look upon the face of each of
these dead soldiers. allowing only a
minute for each, it would require
nearly two whole years TO do so, with
never n pause in the sad mission. And
rs we think Of the financial losses
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1928-11-12

of the war, it is enough to stsgger US.
One hundred and twenty billions OF
dollars were spent In the destruction
AZ homes and life. The world can not
houe 10 0 from her economic
and human losses whiting the next
hundred years. The thought OF All
these losses makes us wonder wnat
can be done to prevent q return Oh
a Xix catastrophe.
The war pressed upon my mind y
GREAT fact: That the nation founded
mon ANYTHING other than Gods prin-
einles Of righteousness would some
day fall. There are laws OIL nature
that one can not violate with I'M,
punity. The one who drinks poisoned
water, must suffer for the violation
az a natural law. Bind up your ARM
ard soon it becomes useless, because
YOU have broken a natural law. Inc
eating Of impure food or breathing
polluted air means the tearing eowh
Of the health of the indivlduai pc
cause Of his transgresslon OF nat
ural law. Just as truly are tnere
moral laws ordained by the Father
and an individual cannot break with
ont suffering the penalty. Strong
character can only be builded upon
the immutable laws of God, and that
l:fe which is founded upon anything
else is as the house built upon tne
sand by the foolish man. when n
laws are lust as binding upon the
nation As upon the individual. Let
national life be founded upon any
thing else and sooner or later its
downfall will some. Greece DuiIoed
an intellectual nation, and as the
messengers of Christ came with the
story Of salvation through Him, ner
people spurncd their message rs
fooiishness. Today her great lnsti-
tutions Of learning are but q heap. OF
crumbled ruins. Rome founded ner
nation upon a military autocracy' ana
though at one time she had the most
powerful nation ever known. she
would not heed Gods laws, and her
nation was humbled in the dust.
France, under the leadership OF
Napoleon, followed Rome's leading,
with the ultimate defeat of Napoleon.
Germany thought that might made
right. a reversal of Gods law, and
we know the suffering it brought
upon the world, and the shame and
misery meeted out to Germany.
We are forced to see, Therefore. that
there il on path lading away from
war and its attndant evils. There IS
but one thing that will assure US that
there will never be a repetition OF
that through which we then we're
forced to pass. That one thing will
be for Christ to be enthroned in the
hearts Of all people everywhere. i
think ! can make my meaning clear
BY the use Of an illustration of a
personal experience. One day ] rode
into the great Pennsylvania railroad
station in New York City. When !
alighted from the train ! felt sure
that I would have no difficulty in
finding my way to the street. IL was
not long, however, before ! discov-

were standing around. ready to take
my grip and lead me out of that
great station, but secure in the be-
lief that my own ability would soon

Of Germany's refusal to make

guarantee the safety of American
ships. u chief executive, President
Wilson, saw fit to declare war upon
the imperial German government on
April 9th, 1917. Rapidly the best OF
Americas manhood was gathered 10
places Of training, and after short
but efficient training those men were
rushed to the battle fields of France.
More than two hundred thousand
boys Of this great Lone Star State
put on the khaki; seventy-five thou
sand Of them were sent to France,
and two thousand of them lay dowr
their lives a sacrifice for the democ.
racy OF the world. Perhaps there
are those present this morning who
mourn for al unreturning soldier
My friend, no greater honor could be
yours than the knowledge that your
country saw fit TO accept the best
you had to offer il. The realization
that your boy sleeps in Flanders
Field, the liberator of humanity and
honored Of the world, should fill
your heart with peace and Joy. The
keener edge of the sorrow is taken
away when you know he took his
place as a nan among men and died
for that which he knew to be right,
And after all, where would you have
them sleep? The lines of a dying
soldier came TO mind:
Nay grive not that We can no hon.
or give
To these poor bones that presently
must be but carbon;
Since ] have sought to live
Upon Gods earth, as he hath guild
ed me,

have me lie?
High heaven is higher than cathed-
raj nave:
Do men paint chancels fairer than
the SKYE"
To these, dare I add a few lines OF
my own construction, poor poet
though | may be:
Beside the stricken oak they made
his grave,
Below the shattered earth and
night
Swung incense clouds of powder
smoke in creeping lines
That twisted through the tree
trunks, where the light
CROPPED through the arches of the sill
ent pines:
And he, beside the honored path he
trod,
Lay, tombed in splendor, in the
House Of God.

that there had been an attempt to
