Will the old-time ideals and aspirations for some- thing above and beyond what earth can give, survive, or will the world ‘be engulfed in a wave of materialism that shall undo and nullify the ef- forta of the eeers and prophets ‘of the ages?, . Wars among Christian nations are as fatal to the higher life of the people affected as i8 npéstacy to the community. The failure of a people " to live up to the highest of their ideals, spreads in other peoples a con- tempt for those ideals. Will this be the outcome of the present conflict. We for one do not believe it will. We do not believe it, for the reason that the world—or at least the greater part of it—is today fight- ing materialism in its’most dangerous form. We insist that in those re- sponsible for this war, the higher life is a negative quantity, or at - best so dwarfed and warped by false views of life as to be entirely overbha‘dowed by the baser nature. j concern to Bemi erty -Loan allgf a while. .

E, IBERTSON The world has pretty well arrived at a definite knowledge of the fact that William of Germany is the source and inspiration of the con- flict: True he was aided and abetted by kindred spirits,"but those spirits ‘were powerless without his word. * i ik sad SN sWhat, tl;elfl, is the nature of Kaiser William? ' Pirst, he is a monarch ' who througliout his’ whole reign’ has ‘insisted that he rules by divine right. So ruling, he, in his opinion, can do mo wrong. His rights are to him bounded and circumscribed only by his own desires. That those desires relate to his own glory anu that of his close following, there can be no doubt. The masses of the German people have been dazzled by the glittering display of militarism and the bright promises held out to them in the event of victory, but the radiance of those visions is fading, and eoon they will pass away, leaving the German people to face the coldly material fact of defeat. Fortunate will they be when if they can grasp the full extent of the unworthiness of the cause in which they have been fighting. But among the allied peoples the knowledge that they are fighting to: preserve the highest and noblest phases of life, takes deeper root as the conflict progresses. Their victory must be, they fully realize, a vic- tory over materialism, and materialism of the crashest kind. They have no dreams of world empire—simply a consuming desire to live their own lives according to their highest lights. We believe that when the smoke of the conflict shall have passed, the woi_'ld; shocked and horrified at the results of materialism, will decree that never again shall it prevail, and that mankind shall be free to pursue its way onward and upward to the great destiny awaiting it.
