ONASAN A1J "ANANoSy' 49,
people of Great Britain are
angry and ashamed. Make no
AS mistake about it-there has
been no political crisis in this country
to compare with this since the House
of Commons rose against Charles II.
It was Austen Chamberlain who
pointed this out three days ago at
meeting in that same House of Com
mons of the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee. He knew. though the cabinet
didn't seem to know, that this was an
affair between the whole nation In
open rebellion and their chosen min
isters.
Don't miss the point of it. The
British are slow by reputation and the
British proletariat is easy going, phleg-
matte, self-centered, insular. Yet this
is a moral revolt Of the first magnl-
tude. The turmoil of this last week
was due to nothing more nor less than
a shock to the moral sense of this ma
ton. It has ended In victory OF
idealism-blind idealism, If you like
Of the masses over considered and
deliberate attempt by the responsible
ministers Of the country to prevent
war by compromising with the peoples
ideals. Perfidious Albion!
Plain People Rose.
Twenty-four hours after the first
unoficiaI news of the ill-starred peace
proposals appeared in the press, the
plain men and women of Great Bri-
tain rose to defend the good name
of their country. Shopkeepers, rail-
way men, miners, factory hands and
comfortable housewives were on the
move.
Nor would their rebellion have been
more effective had they in their thou
sands marched on London under some
giant Wat Tyler.
The peace proposals are dead-not
because the small nations at Geneva
turned them down. The man in
the street here in this country killed
them. 1t was experts against igno-
rant masses-men Of experience
against men who only know what
they think is right. With Stanley
Baldwin, Samuel Hoare and Neville
Chamberlain-wise, cautious and re-
SponSible miniSters-against them, a
great mass of anonymous men who
know no geography, care for nothing
but fair play, refused to believe that
MusSolini would dare to attack the
British feet and are Inundated to
point of fury at the thought that their
prime ministers could be induced by

TEXT: HE went a little far
ther."-st. Matthew 2s:ss.
These simple words have hidden
IN them, periodically at least. the
secret Of the life Of Jesus. After
the Last Supper and during the
Gethsemane agony, He had gone
farther IN the final struggle than
his disciples even His three in
Inmates were able to go. All thru
HIS life He did everything in the
superlative degree. His forgive
ness, His love for Snemies as wen
as friends. and His teachings, all
went beyond others.
There are practical meanings in
Jesus habit Of going farther. He
knows our experiences IN sorrow.
He took some friends with Him
when He passed through Gethse-
name, but they could not go all
the way. We shall have our Geth-
semane An inner circle of friends
may follow part way with US, but
we come at last to our solitary
place and there we meet our Cod.
It is this quality Of going lit
tie farther, as applied to life and
service, which Jesus exemplified.
and which He desires to see in us
as Christians. It reveals the mo-
tive of life. Too many people do
not go far enough In their reh-
gious purpose. The young ruler
who turned away sorrowfully was
mot far from the Kingdom, but
he did not go far enoughl
It is the old question Of a MAXI
mum religion or a minimum reli-
gion Shall we do as little as we.
can, or, like Jesus. as much as we
can? Is there any difference be-
tween your life as a Christian and
church member. and that Of those
