Church and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN

So many of us have been rather
hesitant to accept the truth about
evil, and about the place we call
hell, from where all evil is supposed
to have originated, from where il
is constantly receiving its incentive
The idea of hell doesn't quite agree
with our most cherished conception
and enjoyment of life.
We think it is too terrible. Too
devastating in its effect upon human
minds and nerves.
It undoubtedly is.
Consequently we have succeeded
in eliminating the perception of it
from our thought-life, and its name
from our vocabulary. That is evil
IDENTIFY as far as anyone has ever
come as yet in getting the upper
hand in the struggle with evil; today
we know, that to think it has been
subdued is an illusion, and there is
really nothing any more in mans
behavior which is so terrible that
it could not be true.
His prodigiousness leaves us pant
ing for breath.
One who has never been any near
er to hell on earth than by reading
the book, 81 Was in He'll With Me
moller," who is perhaps reluctantly
accepting its authenticity, may Incl
dentally be stirred by the astound-
ing revealment it has to offer, and
still be able to lay it aside and for
get about the unfortunate human spe-
cimens only to become absorbed
anew, in thought and sympathy, about
his own little problems.
Being convinced, however, of the
reliability of this and other reports
of a similar nature augmented by
individual observations, and possibly
by personal experience with this
type of prodigy, one is no longer
inclined to deny the existence among
us of brutality which is desper-
ately threatening to destroy the
human instinct in men, and to de-
grade human beings to animalism
This monstrosity must by all means
be destroyed. It is disgrace to
Christian humanity. We may not
know just how to do it. But it can,
and it must be done. In respect to
human decency. In the name of
God. In the name of humanity.
Even they who moan under the
heel of the tyrant have courage to
comfort those who struggle and
break under the strain.
Should not the free men among
us possess courage to show that 1--WE
are brothers in the battle to keep
alive the ideals of Christianity"
Niemoller has said that "the
churches have tried to make clear
to the Nazis that any attack on re-
igion would be to destroy the foun-
dations of the State, but they re-
fused to listen, and they will pay
for their mistake"

War Posters of the Post

Certain inspiration for the con-
tinuance of the prevailing struggle
until victory has been achieved may
be had from study of the war
posters produced in England some
thing more than a quarter century
ago. Many of them were of high
artistic value; practically all were
idealistic in the character of their
messages; few, if any, were unworthy
of the people to whom they were
addressed.
The recruiting posters, designed to
stimulate voluntary enlistments, con-
stituted an important group Of pic
tured appeals. One employed a
variant of a phrase which now is
common in a musical setting, It
represents Devon valley with sur
rounding hills, road and number
of cottages and asks: isn't this
worth fighting for?" Another was
featured by portrait of George v
and a map of Britain with the cap
ton: Surely you will fight for your
King and country" Still another
had for its subject a bugler sounding
a call and the quotation from Lord
Evening star., 1942-11-14

Kitchener: more men and still more
men until the enemy is crushed"
Among the most notably beautiful
posters still preserved is a symbolic
Interpretation Of st. George mounted
on gray charger and attacking a
green dragon. This composition is
Inscribed: Britain needs you at
once" Similarly noble and dignifed
is drawing of troops marching along
a street and single soldier in the
foreground with his hand raised
beckoning.
The posters in the interest OF the
success OF the drive for funds to
finance the strife in 1915 are fasci-
mating to view in relation to the
present effort in America. One offers
the coat OF arms of England with
the message of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer: "The man, be he rich or
poor, is little to be envied who at
this supreme moment fails to bring
forward his savings for the security
OF his country" Another shows two
hands filled with coins changing into
cartridges and the suggestion: Turn
your silver into bullets at the post
Office" Even more dramatic, how
ever, is third in which a prodi-
giously heavy shilling holds down a
German soldier lying prone on the
ground.
Curlously enough, Britain during
the First World War did not make
use Of the commonest and most con-
venient OF all possible posters
ordinary postage stamps.
Evening star., 1942-11-14

the object Of our efforts, the sooner
we get in killing mood, the better
and more skillful we shall be when
the real test comes. The struggle
is for survival-kill or be killed"
Those words are harsh and cruel,
But not as much SO as war itself.
Our greatest wish for our soldiers
should be that they go into battle
knowing what war is; that their
training makes them as tough as the
enemies they face; that their minds
accept the grim truth that this strug-
gle is for survival-"kill or be killed" :"
And those of us at home should keep
before us always the realization of
the soldiers task, that we may be
worthy of him.
