SENORS. HEAR FROM PASTOR THEIR FU' OUTLINE FOR 3 TURE (Continued from page one) be steeled as a good soldier for the warfare of life. The Battle of Life. When we think of the battle of life we naturally think.of the out- ward struggle or environment, and the inward struggle of the'soul. ’: 1. Let us regard the environment. Looking back for fifty-five years we can see no year when the environ- ment was in any way similar to that "of today. All civilized countries have shaped - themselves or are - shaping themselves to the one burning cen- ‘| tral fact, the necessity of meeting Y Dynamite, the mascot of the sall- ors in training at Camp Plunkett, Wakefleld, Mass., perched on the hand of Doctor Poppen, the camp physician. Dynamite, as the boys can testify, is full of it. f Gold-Brick Sellers. Swindling promoters -are shrewd. Whenever they find any line of induse try phenomenally successful they im- mediately organize fake companies and print lurid literature telling of the won- derful prospects in this line, of for- tunes that have been made in it and of the opportunity they are giving to small Investors to secure a generous Ancome. So we have had automobile, oil, mining, real estate, hotel, planta- tion, and now we are having aircraft, schemes, in which the credulous pub- lic is invited to put all its loose change. Why doesn’t the public realize that in all these lines of business the old, well-established and dividend-paying concerns offer the best opportunities for investment. They never print lurid literature, guaranteeing fortunes and promising extravagant dividends. They are managed by men whose charac- ters put them above this, yet the pub- lic will only bite on a bait that is made extraordinarily attractive by promises impossible of performance. Hence the vogue of companies that sell their shares as low as one cent each. The man with $10, who can buy a certi- ficate for 1,000 shares, jumps at the promise held out to him that some day his $10 may grow into $10,000. To him it is a lottery, nothing else. And when he loses, as he always does, he goes out ;on the street corner and denounces the “sharks of Wall street.” —Leslle’s Weekly. M'MONALD AWAY ON CAMPAIGN - TRIP: TO CASS LAKE TODAY E. E. McDonald, Republican can- didate for congress, Sixth district, went to Cass Lake today to look af- ter campaign interests. Tomorrow he will be in.Elk; River, ' 4 MF. McDonald, reports .much .. en- é’ou gement ‘as his' campaign’ pro- gresses, and says he believes the race is between himself and Woolley. CAPT. SWINSON TO ORGANIZE . TWO HOME GUARD COMPANIES Captain Tom Swinson, captain of the Bemidji Home Guard, will go to Bagley and Mclntosh some day this week and organize home guard com- panies at those places. AIRCRAFT PROBE BEGINS (By United Press) Washington, May 27.—The sub- committee of the aircraft investiga- tion has decided to proceed immedi- ately with the investigation, APPROPRIATION TO SHATTER ALL SIMILAR APPROPRIATIONS (By United Press) Washington, May 27.—Indications are that appropriations of this ses- sion of congress will total $35,000,- 000,000, shattering all previous rec- ords. TODAY’S CASUALTY LIST (By United Press) Washington, May 27.—Today’s casualty list mentions 19 names. AMERICAN ENGINEERS GET IN WRONG PEW BUT ESCAPE (By United Press) With the Americans in Picardy, May 27.—Fifty American engineers made a mistake and got into German positions by mistake, but fought their way back to the American lines with both Boche and American artillery firing upon them. the issues of this day and meeting them successfully. The side which can martial their resources and moral to efidure the longest will most assuredly be victorious. To this end it is essential that.we.all be drawn together into the great harness of today, bearing the weight of the strap and the buckle, and willingly pulling our bit ‘until the principles of righteousness and freedom shall prevail. Must Change Life’s Mode. We are coming more and more to realize that in order to meet our ob- ligation, we must change our mode of life. In a sens: we are drifting to the more primative life When peo- ple did not have so much. . Sim- plicity is growing more and more in evidence, and people are growing to be ashamed to be frivolous. And it is not uncommon for people to make innumerable excuses before treating themselves to a luxury. This gituation is not a fad for a day, but it is a fact in ‘our life, -and if it comes to bear upon us as it does in England and France, it will be a cause for investigation to see a man act wastefully or extravagantly. There comes a time when human rights extend only as far as humanit- ies needs allow them to. p Influences at Work. There are influences at work which are deepening the life and experi- ences of the parent. The necessary separations of this day has brought a more serious influence into many a home, and the constant shadow of premonition has turned the parental heart to God. Many a parent having seen the heroic’ flash forth in the child as they willingly have gone forth in the spirit of unselfish sac- rifice to do their bit have for the first time been brought near to the son and appreciated in a sense ai parting the fullness of the son’s place in the home. In a sense it is the father’s courage manifest in the child. It is what the parent would want the child to be. Living in England years ago was a man. He was a statesman who has remained until today somewhat of a riddle. He was a man who was compared to the sphinx in British politics. He was a Jew and arose to the very highest rank in the nation as a statesman, . When he was a boy or little. more. than .a boy he wrote a book ‘in which he put all the religious confession that he ever made to the world, Benjamin Disraeli wrote this book called Constance Fleming. It was the story of a young man who was brought up: in igmorance of his father, who as a great statesman was too much occupied with great affairs to pay much attention to a, young boy like him, and the lad grew up to youth in absolute ignorance of his father, One day a inessenger came to tell Constance Fleming that his father’ wanted to see him. Benja- min Disraeli tells how the young man trembled as he crossed the thresh- hold into his father’s room, and how looking toward his father he won- dered what sort of a reception he would receive. He swung around up- on his chair and ran to the boy and gathered him up in his arms, and told him that he was his son, that he was proud of him and wanted his love, and that those big things which ‘he had to do were nothing to him in comparison to the love he had for his own boy. Then Disraeli tells how the boy went out of the room, hold- ing his head erect, feeling his heart beat high. Why, he had found his father and such a father as he was. He was a thousand times the young man he was when he entered the room. Such awakenings are happen- ing every day in the hearts of par- ents and children, and it is the bind- ing force which is to keep faithful those who are far separated. It is difficult for sin come between such a tie and such deepening life is bound to have its leavening power. Battle of Environment. On the other hand there is an- other influence at work, which has come with these days of strain and warfare, and it is to be noticed in the environment. The world has turned entertainment mad in its de- sire to throw off the horrors and dis- appointments of the day, and the in- fluence of the lighter strain is un- dermining in its character. There is nothing of endurance in it, but ra- ther the tendency to turn all serious- ness into lightness. And as has been proven over and. over again in his- tory—after a time of storm and stress ——gocial life has so run riot, that there has been a moral decay in spite DOINGS OF THE VAN LOONS WELL VAN P (2] You HAVE Al AVTD' Do Yov VSE 1T | ~ — MUCH !

So we see these two opposite envir- onments struggling together as were in this day to see which one will be’ victor—the deeper strain or the lighter, : The Inner Side. 2. There is the inner side of the struggle. < We dare not lose gight of the ob- ject for which Christ died—that all men may move under the influence of that love which is ‘as broad as the world. It must not perish or we shall perish with it. The spiritual must outdo the carnal in this war- fare. The hope of the world today does not merely rest upon the armies of the Allies. Rather it rests upon the 'principles for which the Allies are fighting, the principles of ‘hu- manity and liberty, and these prin- ciples must prevail in the love of Christ. = If they fail, even though we win the outward victory, we shall have lost, for in the moral victory, after all, is our hope. Think of the heroisms which are taking place every day in Europe. The world is watching and is spellbound. Think of the endurance. - Then think, if you will, what the followers ‘ of Christ must do to kéep the heroic side of moral life high. Just the other day I read of one of those Can- adian engineers., . He had no gun, only the wrench and the spade. He did not have to lead, his place was in the rear, but up to the top of the tarapet he climbed and caught a flag from the hands of a falling soldier and unfurled it amid the blinding flame. He stood with one hand hold- ing the bullet-torn flag which he loved, and with the other he pointed across to No Man’s Land to the Hun -lines, r-and with a mighty voice across-the tumult he cried, ‘On Can- ddians, on.” Moved by this heroism those .invincible troops went over]| the top, swept across that fearful stretch of death into the enemies’ lines and captured a_ stretch of trench. One man had been a hero and that had inspired ten thousand others. Let me tell you Christ has’ been’ the hero of our faith, If we are his ‘'soldiers, can we not endure? A little hardship, a little resistance, and we shall at least win the moral victory, as General Pershing ‘says. The reason why Germany has become cruel, tyrannical, barbarous and vi- cious is because they have become despiritualized and dehumanized: Materialism and the Kaiser come first and then God comes trailing along. Vision of Possibility. What a vision of possibility there is for the young men and women of today. This old world is being,shak- en to its foundations. “The hard soil of custom is broken up already and the under soil with its new growing power is to be shaped by your lives and energi®s. You are soldiers, ev- eryone of you, in life’s warfare, fa- cing the antagonisms of this new day. May you go out in the service of Him who alone can transform the world. May you endure for Him re- sisting wrong. May He shape your characters uyntil they become His, and you are able to withstand in the day of trial. May you put on the whole armor of God that the enemy may have no point of entrance, afnd may you strive, as Jacob wrestled with the angel, until you have at- tained blessing and homor and vie- tory in life’s pursuit.
