tics indicating they are unable to

of modern warfare. More might
have been held out of service il the
psychiatrists had been able to carry
out their plans. They would have
been able to do so if there had been
as thorough an understanding Of that
branch of medical science as there
will be after the war. And because
of that fact, more of the mental
cases will be restored to normal.
The reason for the increased num-
Der of mental cases is variously ex-
planned: our troops have endured
longer periods of offensive action
than in the last war; the increased
fury of modern warfare; the domi-
nation of the machine, and also, to
some degree, the complications Of
civilian life which encourage neu-
rotic conditions.

forward with seven-league boots.

CroWned Heads
ProUe Headaches

After the last war, some POLITICALLY
minded writer penned an editorial
which had wide circulation entitled:
''The Twilight of the Kings" Many
a throne had tumbled as a result Of
that last conflict, names that were
written large in history, faded until
they were less than memories-Ho-
henzollern, Hapsburg. Romanoff, not
to mention host Of lesser majesties.
But some who survived are to-
day problems Of the United Nations,
like plebiscites, famine, frontiers,
lend-lease. airways and a thousand
other annoying questions that must
be settled when peace comes.
OF course, kings are not to be
shrugged away lightly. Some of
Americas best friends are kings.
But there are crowned heads who
are bound to be headaches for the
uncrowned brows of the statesmen
who have to put the world together
again.
There is the House of Savoy, for
instance. The king of Italy has been

CERIsT's NEW COMMANDMENT

ONAASA0A y 4N6U A5AN =
LESSON TEXT-Mark 12:28-34; John
1884. 35; 15:10-14.
GOLDEN TEXT-A new command
ment I give unto you. That ye love one
another: as I have loved you, that ye
also love one another.-John 1894.
The new commandment of love
which Christ gave was not new in
the sense of then first being known,
but new In its application Uohn
1880. Only since Christ had come
did men know how to love in truth.
This commandment Of love was
also first in time, being given be-
fore the Ten Commandments (see
Lev. 1919. Then, too, it declared
the fundamental of all spiritual life,
the first thing man needed to know.
that God is love.
1t also must take first place in
mans thinking, for even as the Dec
alogue (Ten Commandments is the
heart of all moral law, so love for
God and our fellow man Is that

Because God is love" q John
4:8) He desires mans perfect love
toward Him. Because the essence
of His being is love, He loves us,
and enables us to love Him.
There is more here than a COM
mandment or the performing of a
duty. There is the recognition of a
controlling principle Of all life. In a
day Of multiplication Of powerful
machines and organizations, when
man is power conscious" in an un-
usual way. it is well to recall that
the greatest power in all the world
is the power of love.
Then let us not forget that all
true love should rest upon fellow

far FROM" but he was not in it. 1t
is terrifying to think how close men
may come to entering without doing
so. Reader, have you entered into
eternal life through Jesus Christ?
III. Love Your Brethren (John
1884. 35).
Here we come within the circle Of
believers and see that the distinc-
tive thing about their fellowship
should be love for one enother.
The old commandment of love be-
comes new one because Christ
shows that the measure Of that love
is to be His great love for us. How
did Christ love us? With a perfect,
unselfish and thoughtful devotion,
which so deeply desired the very
most and best for us that He was
willing to lay down His holy life
as our Saviour from sin.
The thing which marked the early
church with glorious distinction was
that in a world that hated, they
loved one another, and in a world
that killed and destroyed, they were
even willing to die for their breth-
rem. Tertullian Of Carthage (Tu-
nis) said, in the second century, that
the enemies of Christianity said Of
the Christians. "See how they love
one another"
Nv. Love is Obedient, Joyful and
Sacrificial John 15:10-1N.
Love is not an impulsive, erratic
movement of mans nature which
tries to make up for neglect and un-
kindness by occasional displays Of
generosity and thoughtfulness. No
indeed. Love walks the straight and
steady way Of obedience to Gods
commandments.
Keeping Gods law is not accom-
plished by reading it, or talking
about it, or even learning ii by
heart, but by definitely practicing
its precepts.
This brings Joy into our lives
the real and perfect joy of Christ.
How little we appreciate what this
means. Our fellowship with the Lord
calls for obedience and sacrifice,
but that is not burdensome, dull.
distressing experience. 1t is a joy
full one, Who counts it trial to do
that which pleases a loved one? Do
we really love God? Then we win
rejoice in our response to His will,
yes, in any possible act Of devotion.
Love draws no limiting line be-
yond which it will not 60. Love
says: II count not my life dear, II
in giving it may bring deliverance
to my friends"
We shall not question His guild
ance nor blush to own His name,
even though the testimony may
mean our death. This we shall do
for Christ's sake, and for the sake
of a suffering humanity.

No Savings" Visible

Some months ago the Army expected to spend
$50 900 during the present fiscal year, but
Gently it appeared that its spending will be $13, 1884,
$4,000 less than this amount.
This announcement is the basis for statements that
savings" of $4,000 100000 are in sight. AS matter
of fact 'the prospective savings entirely matter
of bookkeeping the following figures will show
War expenditures of the United States expected
year The total income of the Federal Government is
set at around $45O00,O0O000 This means deficit of
more than $50,000,000,00.
All that the announcement in regard to Army ex-
pendtures means is that the deficit will be $13,000000,
900 less than expected last Spring The miscaled
ings represent reduction in the deficit which is al
ready included in the figures above cited and does not
mean there is no occasion for leYying heavier taxes

the monthly deficit is not $5000,0OO00O but by no
stretch of the imagination anyone find it has saved
