Church and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN

Sunday Worshipers had the privi-
lege of hearing last Sunday a mes
sage based on the report of an army
officer who had been exposed to dis
cover that there are tragedies and
defeats in life which even the army
of a mighty empire is unable to cope
with.
1t was marvellous experience in
this mans life in which he clear
ly saw the shadow of the army, and
realized how limited its powers were
On the background of the present
struggle it should be a revelation to
us to look into this mans expert
ences, and learn from what it might
teach us.
On his command armies 60 forth
to destroy and kill. But his own
child who is sick at home, on the
verge of death, he is unable to help.
Yet, the life of that child means
more to him than all the empires of
the world, more than regimental
splendor and honors of bravery in
many battles. The mighty powers
of this world stand forever defeated
in the light of this striking report.
The boy was as dear to him as
your child and mine are to us.
l suppose we must have the armies
for their protection. But even so
we should not forget that problems
may arise over which the most
elaborate war-machine has no power
at all. It cannot cure our ills; it is
unable to create happiness. Any ma
ton who is content to rely solely
upon its man-power and machine
strength is certainly defeated in the
most vital issues of life before it
ever starts to fight.
Nothing that we may gain in this
world can ever take the place of that
which alone is life to us.
Let's have the army, but let us
also have such officers in charge OF ii
who have the heart of fathers, and
have at their command not only the
power of the army under them but
also the power of life above and over
them.
