welfare and for eternal right, be-
longs to a lower order of fauna
than the heroic men and women
who made new nations in this west
ern world. During the first World
War, in the days of Belgium's fiery
ordeal, I heard a Belgian professor
impassionedly say to an American
audience: Don't pity us; pity
yourselves, for you are only getting
rich out of war;
This new crisis has come to search
the souls of human beings every

the steady revolution that has been
working like leaven in the lump OF

great war. At stake are far greater
interests than territorial objectives
Our whole way of life is concerned
The challenge is to mans spirit
everywhere to stand for the things
that make man man.

Europe's bloody ordeal shows up the
triviality Of the present interests OF

illustrated by the radio. In contrast
with the destiny -fraught news

Our present lesson. upon social

news from Europe. Warning nations
are sharply restricting or forbid
ding, the use of liquor. Overseas,
the people are rationed in the SIM

ration ourselves, in body and in

victim. In war as in peace, the only
safe place for John Barleycorn is
in the limbo of rejected evils. A
safe world must be a sober world.
Some Wartime Needs.
What does the war mean, for the
average man, for you and for me?
First of all, it should revive our
consciousness of personality Each
OF us is a sacred unit in the divine
plan. We are not mere fragments
OF a social mass, but individual
human beings. separate thoughts of
the Creator, lowered with the sub
lime power of choice and decision.
Thus to perceive our own distinct
identity, to think our own thoughts.
10 accept our own personal respon-
slblllty as Gods highest gift to us, is
every ones gravest present duty.
Perhaps next we should list the
preservation Of personal peace of
spirit. Although nations are at war,
spiritual peace is possible to every
body who will meet the conditions
possible even to the soldier in ac-
ton. This supreme consciousness of
right relations with God and with
the world is boon beyond riches.
1t brings in its train a whole set of
lesser blessings; patience, tolerance,
tranquility, acceptance of condi-
tlons, courage, sympathy, a basic
loyalty and sense of proportion.
Never was it more necessary than
now for human beings to make
peace with God. He is Furnishing
the world for its sins Repentance
and return to Righteousness will STAY
His hand. Down in the valley into
which the world has plunged we
may find Him who is our peace.
Real social progress, with its corol-
larry of personal self-denial. is prog
ress toward Gods will for man.
Ringing as central truth of these
Lessons from the Sermon on the
Mount comes the Masters word. "Ye
are the salt of the earth" What it
means to be salt has been beautifully
expressed by DR.. Henry Van Dyke:
"Fearlessly to speak the words
which bear witness to righteousness
and truth and purity: patiently to
do the deeds which strengthen vir-
tue and kindle hope in your fellow
men; generously to lend a hand to
those who are trying to climb up
ward; faithfully to give your sup
port and your personal help to the
efforts which are making to elevate
and purify the social life of the
world-that is what it means to
have salt in your character"
