DAVIS deals with the life of Abra-
nam. Abraham was to be the
founder of new civilization, a
new society. To a pagan world
dominated by brute force, cruelty
and wickedness he was to bring
the principles of humanity, of
love and of brotherhood.
To determine whether Abraham
was worthy of his mission, God
slbiected him to a number of
tests of character. Abraham was
rested by ten tests of character
and withstood all of them," says
The Talmud. He was promised a
land flowing with milk and honey,
but just as he arrived in Pales-
tine. famine was ravaging the
land and he was forced to go to
Egypt. He was told that he would
be the founder of a great people,
but he had no child until he was
q very old man. And when his
beloved son Isaac began to grow
into manhood he was told to Of
fer him as a sacrifice to God. Yet
|Abraham's faith did not waver
nor falter. "Thou has chosen
abraham and thou hast found his
heart faithful before Thee"
Abraham was looked upon by
his neighbors as a champion of
human rights. When robber kings
Numbered and ravaged unprotect-
ed cities, Abraham organized a
successful punative expedition but
he refused to receive any reward
for his kindness. His life and
conduct inspired his contemporar-
lies to say of him "a prince of
God art thou in our midst"

THE SPIRIT Of SACRIFICE

from without. There was a time
when American civilization was
characterized by hard work bv
pioneering spirit, by high ideal
ISM. Today our American civil
zatlon is largely measured by its
luxury and comfort. We pride
ourselves in the amount of goods
we consume. Although we are
only 10 of the world population.
we used up 1870 of the worlds
SILK and 800 of the worlds motor
cars! We pride ourselves in the
number of gadgets we have in the
Kitchen, in how much time mother
has every day to play bridge and
go TO the movies, in how few steps
rather has to take to reach the
office, how many caddies per ev-
cry golf player, and how manv
hairdos per week! When pleas
ures and comforts become the
highest ideals in life; when they
become an object of worship,
cult, then we are in great peril.
The president of Colgate Uni
versity, George B. Gluten, deliv-
cred an address to his graduates
last May which he entitled 1.-THE
Traitorous Cult of Comfortable
Living. He said, What made
America great was not its extern
sive material resources, as un-
limited as they may seem to be.
They had been there ever since
the third day of creation, though
for age upon age America was a
trackless waste. What m d e
America great was the character
of the people which relentlessly
forced nature to pour forth her
resources, and the intelligence of
the people who made the most Of
these resources. Today American
civilization is characterized by
luxury and comfort and these,
when translated, spell softness.
Softness has two disastrous eff
fects. In the first place it makes
us indisposed or unable to recog-
nize danger, and in the second
place, if continued sufficiently
long, it renders us incapable of
protecting ourselves. Comfort,
with its glamour, its seduction,
it's attractions and it's insidious
infiltration, is the fifth column of
civilization" This Is not a. fanat-
ical sin hating preacher speaking,
but a responsible person, who
heads a great institution of learn
ing. His words may be little
exaggerated by rhetorical flour
ishes but they are essentially
sound.
Many of our people have become
spoiled by comforts and are I'M
willing to make the slightest sac
rifice for the preservation of the
very things which they so highly
cherish. We grumble about gov
eminent regulations and criticize
Washington inefficiency. We de-
plore the smallest inconvenience
we have to endure. A local bus
mess man spoke to me recently OF
the large number of customers
who kick and protest that they
cannot get the customary cuffs on
their trousers. mo government
is going to tell me what to wear"
thew snarl. Yet these savings OF
cuffs have made possible the
production of a hundred thous-
and extra uniforms for the Army.
What inconvenience have we SUI

Abraham of old. We live at .
time when the powers of pagan
ism are very strong. The Satanic
forces of Hitler and Hirohito
have conquered more than half
the world. Their legions fight
with blind fury and total disre-
gard for human life. Were it not
for American intervention their
victory perhaps would have been
complete by now, and the world
would have been thrown into total
darkness. We in America, who
bear the torch of liberty and hui
man rights, we who have trans
lated the Abrahamitic faith into
political institutions which guar
antee to every man the rights to
life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness-we are now subjected
to our greatest test of character.
The war may be Gods way of
testing us whether we are worthy
of becoming the torch bearers of
His law to ensIaved humanity and
help fashion a new society based
on righteousness and justice. It
may be more than that. 1t may
be Gods way of determining
whether Aour American civilization
shall survive.
During the long and difficult
trail of humanity's struggle to-
wards higher patterns of life, civ
ilizations have risen and civiliza-
tons have fallen. The history of
these civilizations have been strik-
ingly similar. The Assyrian en-
pire, the Babylonian empire, the
Greek and Roman civilizations all
had similar endings. When they
grew strong and rich and prosper
GUS the character of the people
began to degenerate. Excessive
pleasures and comforts made
them weak and lowered their
moral fiber. They became indif-
ferent to social and ethical ideals
and moral standards. When war
came those civilizations crumbled,
for the people did not have the
strength to defend themselves.
Americas civilization is also
being put to the test. Does the
American people possess the
strength and the character to
prevent the barbaric hordes of
the Huns and the Japs from over
running us and trampling us to
the dust? Frankly, if one exam
ines what has happened until now,
one cannot help but see certain
danger signs. Do you remember
the eyewitness description of the
fall of Singapore and Bataan?
Do you remember how officials
and civilians in Singapore dined
and danced and drank themselves
to oblivion, while the guns were
roaring outside and brave soldiers
poured out their blood to stem the
tide of the enemy? This is how
ancient civilizations went under!
Do YOU recall how during the fall
of Bataan on January 1, 1872
American men and women In
evening clothes sang and danced
with the usual hilarity and aoan-
don which characterizes an Amer
lean New Years celebration!
This. history tells us, is how an
Gent Babylon was destroyed!

sent food, clothing and money to
them; at last the hope Of being ex-
changed; their leaving China and
