War Is Murderous
 Business-Walker
Second Church Pastor Urges ParishiOners to Serve
 and Sacrifice When Call of Duty Comes

with sincere devotion to our firm convictions, with readiness to serve and to sacrifice when and where the call Of duty comes.
 Beyond the fears and shadows Of these days there will dawn Q better day. We can take it for granted now that there will Do no return to normAley. The times were far from normal before the war began in Europe, say nothing about our own very recent entrance Into war. The financial cost of this war will be fantastic and the economic read. tustment after It's close is likely to Do revolutionary. But whether the bitterness and the strife through which the world must pass, peace will come, and by Gods grace, Q better peace, c wiser peace than we knew twenty odd years ago. lt is not too soon to begin to pray for c peace Of justice and humanity. Some will say that 1t Is futile and fatuouB to talk Of peace in such c juncture aS this l say, oii the con- tFary, tho mightiest contribution Woodrow Wilson made to the Allied cause was his proclamation of those famous fourteen points, those Ideals which lifted mems hearts eyery- where on both sides of NosMan'S Land to new levels of hope. You talk about propaRanda Woodrow Wilson Was the master pFopagandist of the century and he spoke in terms of justice and mercy. What a tragedy that smaller, Fneaner minds forced c peace based on req. |. ism and concerned primarily with e division of territory and the impo- sitlon of reparations!

Let the church Do the church in e dark day, lot tho church light the candles and keep them burning in times when we arc heartslek and aghAst" said Rev. pr. John C.. Walker, Second Congregational paS- tor, yesterday morning ln his sers mon, "When War ComeS-Light the Candles"
 pr. walker said in part: Surely we are not without faith, not with. out hope, not without courage, not without trust even In this evil hour when treAchery and aggression take their terrible toll and we suffer humiliation and disaster. We ean be thankful for this ct feast, war was thrust upon us, that it was not our choice and not our deeisionl
 I say further that the first candle the church should light, in my humble Judgment, !s the candle Of repentance, The world is judged by the tragic trend of events but the Church Of Christ has faltered and failed else these things could not have come to paas. War ia sin and crime and there seems to Do very little effort in these days to gloFlfy or enable it War is grim, murder. ous, deadly business and it is little use to talk about holy war and noble eFuSades.
 The Church of Christ must keep the candle of repentance aglow on the altar because It's sons and daughters must bear the heaviest burdens and suffer the heaviest penalties. So far As ! can discover no son of this church happens to have been in the Pacific area in spite of tho fact that we have c long list of men in active service, But if we are SO far immune we cannot hope to have that immunity continued indefinitely. War, and more particularly totalitarlan war, is not mainly c matter Of marching and eounter-marohing to the tune of stirring music, it is grim, deadly, murderous business. Moreover to- talitaFian war exacts c terrific toll, sooner or later, of civilian life, Danger and insecurity are every. where abroad in the world to c greater or lesser degree 70 long as totailtaFlan war ls carried on any where in the world. God help Us oil 70 play our several parts in this tragic drama with quiet courage,
