EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES f. FREEMAN. d. d.. ILL., d..
Bishop OF Washington

true. While he experienced days and
weeks and months Of profound depres-
sion, there are abundant evidences
that there were other periods In which
he experienced supreme soul exaltation
Some one says concerning Lincoln that
"he found his soul by the grave Of Ann
Rutledgc." There may be some truth
In this for certainly the death OF this
maiden. to whom he had given his
heart, did affect him profoundly and
doubtless tended to intensity the depths
OF his spiritual life. One thing Is Ger
tain concerning him-namely,. tat he
had the most complete KNOWLEDGE of the
Bible as book. and his M .aorable
utteranceS are in large part paraphrases
Of the Scriptures themselves Some one
has said that Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address" which Is probably his highest
reach OF soul. Is made up Of phrases
garnered from this sacred Book. In one
OF the hours OF his supreme depres-
sion he struck of the following striking
sentence: Probably 1t is to be my lot
to go on In twilight, feeling and rea-
soning my way through life. as ques-
tioning, doubling Thomas did. But In
nv poor. manned. withered way / bear
with me. as go on. seeking spirit of
desire for a faith that was with him OF
the olOen Time. Wno IN his need, as
In mine. exclaimed. Help thou my un-
belief!"" On another occasion he said
1.-The Scriptures unfolded before me
with deeper and more logical appeal,
through these new experiences than
anything else / could find to turn to.
do not claim that all my doubts were
removed then. or since that time have
been swept away. They are not" That
he was a seeker after truth even his
enemies admit. That he repeatedly dis
closed his unfailing belief in the guild
anee OF God. even In the darkest period.
Is also abundantly evident. In private
and public life he maintained the un-
broken practice Of prayer. With the
great Field Marshal Foch. he could say.
Prayer has enlightened my way"
When We come to these recurring an
niversaries Of his birth, 1t Is proper that
We should remember not only the great
ness OF the man as a statesman or the
genius he disclosed In the darkest days
~ our Nations history. but rather his
childlike trust in the supervising and
experimenting God and Father of ms
all His religious convictions still stand
as witnessing to the greatness of his soul.
Difhcult as was his way. great as were
his burdens, inquiring as was his mind
he could st1il cry out with the man of
old. Lord. / believe: help Thou mine
unbelief!"

Chinese Communism.

A story comes from China telling oi
q SHOCKING outbreak of Communism ir
Kwanstung Province. Wholesale mur-
ders of propertied persons are taking
place. More than million farmers
fishermen and salt makers have gone
red" established commune. wiped out
land titles and confiseated the property
of the wealthy. The movement. 1t Is
stated. is spreading. Many villages
have been besieged and razed. the viii
lage elders decapitated, their heads
mounted on poles and carried on as
warning OF the fate to be visited on the
inhabitants II they resist Communism
Prisoners who have been taken by the
provincial authorities. In an effort to
stamp out this epidemic Of radicalism
have boasted that all Kwangtung will
be under the red nag within a month.
This is one Of the results OF the Rus
sian intrigue in China. which has al
ready cost thousands of lives and
grievously complicated the Chinese po-
litical situation. While thu Russian
agents have been repudiated and de-
ported, in some cases slain. their mis-
chievous work continues. The Chinese
in the areas of this agitation are des-
perately poor. They have been In
famed with greed. Having no concep-
ton OF the political significance Of the
Russian doctrines. they are Mred by the
idea of appropriation Of property in the
name Of the proletariat. They. OF
course. have no notion Of what pro
letariat" means. They know that they
are poor. that life Is a bitter struggle,
and they see affiuence about them.
Help yourselves" the Russians told
them. Take what you can seize and
make 1t your own. XIII II you are re-
sisted" And they have taken and killed
and burned. have run amuck, and thou
sands OF square miles are In turmoil.
OF course, this condition cannot last
It Is not an organic movement that Is
now convulsins those parts OF China
where Communism has spread. 1t Is a
mob movement and there will be q re-
action. caused In large part by the very
violence Of the present disturbance
Even these wretched people viii find
ultimately the need OF organization
and out of the chaos OF Wild indiyidu-
alism must come some form Of orderly
administration.
The bolsheyiks of Moscow cared
nothing whatever for the welfare OF the
Chinese when they started their propa-
ganda for Communism In the Far East
They wished to embarrass the Western
powers. TO start fire In China that per-
haps would spread. While 1t has spread
In Cana. 1t Is not at all likely TO extend
into other lands. The very fury of the
Communist agitation brings It's own cor
rection and check. and In the end Russia
viii be the weaker for having evoked
these forces of destruction.
