are primarily and ultimately ques-
tlons confronting each one of us
separately, and challenging us to dc
our part.
World conditions and world thought
are conSplring to stand every one
OF us up in a corner, as if we alone
personally were concerned The ac-
cuSlng finger of events says, Thou
art the man" Once our consciences
are awakened, we begin to examine
our own manner of life and our own
controlling spirit. Why talk about
peace in the world when there is no
peace in our own home life? What
boots it to rail at predatory powers,
If we ourselves are selfish and
grasping and greedy? Why dream of
alliances of nations when we cannot
agree with our own neighbors? Is
there any sense in discussing the
liquor problem with a cocktail glass
in our hand?
1t is rather short, swift step
from a personal change to a world
change. DR. Frank Buchanan puts
it thus tersely: Suppose everybody
cared enough, everybody shared
enough. wouldn't everybody have
enough? There is enough in the
world for everyone's need, but not
enough for everyone's greed"
Everybody agrees that somebody
should do something about what is
wrong with the world. Well, that
somebody is you and I, each and
every one of us. There would be
no liquor problem if each of us put
aside strong drink, as unworthy of
our use. We have more important
things to think about than the
Utilization of our palates, or the false
glow which alcohol imparts to the
brain.

My bishop friend, fresh from the

experience as came to Great Britain
last September. We have not had
to face gas masks, or to burroW in
trenches, or to sign up for air raid
protection tasks I infer that the
bishop believes it would be we'll for
us to share some such experience,
to stab our spirits broad awake.
Georgia E. Harkness has written
a poem, "The Agony of God" that
makes this point dramatically:
"I listen to the agony of God
who am fed,
Who never yet went hungry for
day.
see the dead
The children starved for lack of
bread
see and try to pray.
Il listen to the agony of God
I who am warm,
Who never yet have lacked a
sheltering home.
In dull alarm
The diSpossessed of hut and farm
Aimless and transient" roam.
Il listen to the agony of God
who am strong,
With health, and love, and
laughter in my soul.
I see a throng
OF stunted children reared in
wrong
And wish to make them whole.
Il litsen to the agony of God
" But know full we'll
That not until I share their
bitter cry
Earth'S pain and hell
Can God within my spirit dwell
To bring His kingdom nigh"
From some source-perhaps even
Sunday school lesson-the thun-
der must come that will awaken at
least the Christian multitudes of
us to the DID, old truth that our So
cial and political salvation are ulti-
mately up to the individual. This
old world is only an aggregation of
units. Suppose each person who has
been to the cross returns to live, in
home and office and shop and school,
life of sincerity, purity, unselfsh-
ness and love? How quickly the
wrinkles on our faces and on our
hearts would be smoothed out, and
the doctors would lose their "nerv-
GUS prostration" cases. The saloons
and cocktail bars would dry up for
lack of patronage, the gambling
houses would close their doors, the
brothels would go out of business,
and the froth, or scum, that passes
for entertainment, would be blown
away. Instead of the prevalent shall
lowness and triviality, life would
take on a new depth and tranquility
and altruism.
The Great Goal.
Somehow, most of us seem unable
to grasp the great truth that God
plans better lives for use than we
desire for ourselves. All of us are
mentally and physically and spiri-
tually below par. If we were lin
tune with the Infinite" If we were
yielded to and welded by the great
power of the living God, we should
soon find life something grander
than ever we knew" If God guided,
God-guarded and God-girded, we
should find ourselves members of
one another, and members of God.
