He spoke as follow o one can treat this subject ithout facing the accusation that ristianity has failed either to stop arrest the progress of this war. So ninent an authority as Charles W. fiot, ex-president of Harvard uni- sity, has made this charge of fail- p ip the ‘Cosomopolitan Student' in fong words, stating that the or- hinized forces of Christianity, in- uding of course the church, even the gman church, has not had the slight- power to stop or retard this con- t. He recalls that Christianity ‘is farly 2,000 vears old and has al- jays preached against war, yet less an 300 of those years have been ac&ful vears, and many of the wars rough the centuries have been re- kious or holy wars in which the in- lence of the church was felt, and on which the blessing of the church s invoked. Mr. Eliot is only one of hny wha at Jeast have misgivings out the whole matter .

But it is an encouraging fact that men every- where are today seeing the inconsis- between Christianity and war and insisting that war must be done asvay with. Just as men came to see | the inconsistency of slavery and de- termined that slavery and Christianity could not live together, so are men taday determined that Christianity and war cannot live together and that war must go. “Now this sermon is an effort to show the solution that Christanity of- fers. Let me take the following pas- sage of scripture as a text. It is found in Matthew 22, verses to 40, A lawyer stood up before Jesus and asked him what was the great com- mandment, and Jesus answered, ‘Thou shalt love the Lord, they God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. The like onto it, is this thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Upon these two commandments hang the whole of the law and the pro- phets.’ “These teachings form the stone of the Christian religion. ly understood and rightl followed these commandments are sufficient for the world's needs. All virtues spring from the fulfilling of those laws and all evil, if followed to its root, will be found to be in disobedience of one or the other of theso laws “There are really three laws instead of two, corresponding to the three personalities of life, God, my neighbor and myself. The three laws then are, thou shalt love God, thou shalt love they neighbor, and thou shalt love thyself, for if a man going to love his neighbor as him- self and have it amount to anything, his love for himself must first amount to somethin “These laws are inter-dependent The man who does not love God in the true sense will not long love him- self or his neighbor in the truest sense. On the other hand, the man who does not love his neighbor certainly can- not love God, and the man who has no love far himself in a noble and un- selfish wav, does not love God. And, as I intimated a moment ago, love for neighbor and love for self are de- pendent on each other. “It will be secen also that these laws form a check on each/ other,—they balance Love for God checl the other two. It forbids love for self from becoming conceit and self-sufficiency, and thereby engenders reverence ana humility; it forbids love for neighbor becoming a creed. Men’s lives cannot be defined alone by what they do, they t bbe defined first by what they cannot say they have ful- filled their duty in charity and social sexvice alonme. Works of mercy are but part of the Christian religion. “Then vou can very readily see the check between the two commands, love for self and love for neighbor. Love for self, balaned by love for one's neighbor, gi self-respect. Love for self. balanced by.love for love for self gives us self-devotion-— two splendid virtues. But relieve the check on either end and we have evil. away one of these virtues and the other immediately puffs up to ex- traordinary size and ruins the pro- portions of life. Respect yourself, but ‘do not think more highly of vour- sel than vou ought to think, the word of wisdom.

A careful study of these dif- show that they were founded upon the unbalancing of these principles which are laid down in these two commandments. Indi- vidual quarrels as well as national quarrels will usually be found to rest upon the over emphasis of one and the minimizing of another of these ' qualities of love until the check and | balance has been destroyed. War is based as I said last Sunday, upon fear, greed, selfish ambition, and these will all be found to come from an unbal- ancing of the Christian principles of love, which in turn throw out of bal- ance all true relations of life. “Let us be specific. Take the fi commandment—Ilove for God. This commandment has within it two ex tremes. To love God means to show reverence, worship, humility and trust, but it means more than this. If this meaning oaly is emphasized ona becomes unnaturally dependent and weak. Love for God also means to be God's representative on earth. To do His will and corry out His work here. Just as an ambassador of a country loves and trusts and has reverence for his country but also feels that he is the direct representative of his coun- try to the country to which he has gone, so are we ambassadors of God | on earth. Certain powers are dele- gated to any credited ambassador, which he is held accountable for. If he fails to use these powers, he is un- true to his trust, while if true he not only shouts for his country and pro- claims his loyalty, but stands un- flinchingly for its rights and honor. This is splendidly illustrated in the experiences of Mr. Gerard in his ca- pacity as representative of this coun- {ry in Germany, during the early days of our war. “But if this side of over-done, we get disasterous re- sults. The Prussian military caste, with the kaiser as head, have so over- emphazied this phase of the com-| mandment that the whole balance has been destroyed. The kaiser has so often proclaimed imself as the vicar of God on earth it has become ridiculous. ‘Me and God' is a favorite with the emphasi laid more and more with “M. E. Professor Oswald a German Nobel prize man, sayps in | all seriousness, ‘Giod the Father is re- served for the Emperor's use alane. It was ance used in connection with the German staff, but it will be no- uced that it has not appeared since.’ A German dramatic critic expressed the thought of all of them when he said ‘We execute God Almighty's will, —God calls us to murderous battles | even if worlds thereby fall to ruin. “Now this belief or obsession has of necessity laid emphasis upon the development of the physical, for, since the check of those finer, spiritual forces—reverence, humility, ete. are gone, the brute forces therefore come into prominence. One of the wisest explanations of the present crisis is contributed by Bergson, the French philosopher. He savs, in effect, that the chief work of science has been to enlarge man's body. ‘Telescopes and microscopes have increased the power of our eves; telephones have stretched our hearing to some three thousand miles: telegraphs have made our voices sound around the carth; loco- motives and steamship lines, better than seven league boots of ancient fable, have multiplied the speed and power of our feet; the hig guns elongated the blows of our fists from two beet to 25 mil Man never had such a body since the world began. The age of the giants was nothing com- pared with this. But man’s soul— there the failure lie We have not grown spirits great enough to handle our greatened bodies. The splendid new powers which science furnishes are still in the hands of the old sins | —greed, seifish motive, cruelt This has been especially true of Germany. Inarder to back this obsession and carry out this fool notion of re- presenting God’s absolute will on earth, the Kaiser and his Prussian party have amassed a physical force, such as the world has never kmown, but in so doing they have neglected the other side of the commandment— reverence, humility and Th have built a powerful machine with- | out a soul and as Bergson intimates, they have caused the rest of the world | to do the same thing, to a certain | extent, in order that they might exist. This, of course, if it persists, will be Tuinous. Some things we can do without, but one thing will b found indispensable through this war. ve must have a new power of moral vitality the world cannot stand. “In the history of biology we have the example of nature endeavoring to fill this earth with huge physical beings, and as a result there was produced what is known as the din- osorous, a being to 30 feet long, which reached the massive physical weight of ten tons, but which devel- oped only about half a pint of brains, so that the brain power was not suf- ficient to handle the physical power. The animal got to the place where it dia not even know enough to turn and use its defensive weapans which were {upon its tail. Of course it was grad- wally destroyed by animals of less physical size and strength, but With more brain power. The same thing becomes true if physical manhood emphasized to the helittling of moral and spiritual manhood. Christianity, ! therefore, offers a great and formit- able solution to the world problem in insistence upon balancing rever- phase of the commandment. %o neither shall overtop the other iehtly understood and 1 make us humble citizens gdom on carth, hut cver defend the of that in the interest of all its love for God is merey its ence that Love for practiced w of His K ready to Kinzdom citi “Now As | ment life—self-respect God rights second commandment first t i is ¢ said. this command- lities of and fevotion.

It seemed then that right called for war. That was the nation's just love for self. It must never be lost sight of. But, on the other hand, this quarlity may be overdone. It certainly has been overdone by Germany. An in- dividual or a people who forget self devotion soon become selfish, conceit- ed and arrogant. I need not rehearse the attitude and deeds of the German empire for the past generation to show how they have been starving self- devotion and gorging self-respect un- til the fine quality of selfrespect has become a distorted, hideous brute, while self-devotion has sunk and with- ered in its shadow. I contend that Christianity would have saved Ger- many. Christianity would have pre served the balance between self-re- spect and self-devotion. “Two particular illustrations of the abuse of these qualities are before us today. The first is seen in the quar- rel between individualism and social- ism. The kaiser is a splendid illustra- tion of extreme individualism; while the present Russian leaders, Lenine and Trotsky, are examples of extreme socialism. Christianity steers beiween these two. Tt rccognizes the abfolute necessity of the development of indi- vidual character with its rights and powers. On the other hand. it also recognizes that socialized, must recognize itself as a mart of the great social group of the world. Christianity destroys class. It offers each man his full chance. Nev- ertheless it insists that men have a duty which extends into all social, in- dustrial and political relations of life. Christianity makes men brothers by giving them right hearts and right at- titudes rather than by endeavoring to set up a model social system, at the same time not neglecting its duty to point out the errors and which any social system holds its en- virons. “The second illustration the quarrel between nationalism internationalism. Germany is a fine example of extreme nationalism. She has been preaching it, teaching it, pre- paring for it behind the world’s back and before its eves. On the other hand, Russia as she now stands, is an extreme illustration of the spirit of internationalism, a doctrine which eliminates that natural love and con- sequent service which a man gives to his own native land. Both na- tionalism and internationalism harbor great dangers when carried to ex- treme. The danger in extreme na- tionalism is seen in the doctrine, ‘My Country right or wrong.’ An Amer- ican jurist, writing in the New York Times in a scries of articles on the war, has advocated that after the war this nation must make itself so secure by navy and army that no nation or concert of nations will dare attack it. Such a program, if we should at- tempt it, would be absolutely suicidal in the long run. America would be- coming another Germany. Instead of such a program of nationalism, we must rather have a stronger program of internationalism. We must have a federation of the world. This world is too closely knit together to allow of any one nation endeavoring to set itscelf up alone in these days. The ends of the earth have been crowded together as man has conquered dis- tance with his swift inventions. This illustrated in a message that left ter Bay one night when Mr, Roose- velt was president. ‘This message went through Denver a minute after it was sent, and a minute later still, it dived out through the Golden Gate. Then it slid past Manila, sang through the Indian Ocean, leaped over the boundary of Asia into Europe; jumped across England into the Atlantic and came from its long hath in the ocean to the bleak shores of Newfoundland and set the telegraph receiver ticking almost before the transmitter had ceased, around the world in nine minutes.’ Such fellowship of lifo malkes ug ready to receive the news that when war was declared in Eu- rope, prices in Siam went up 100 per cent. The bullets that fly at the front today, fly further than bullets ever went before. The ystrike not only men and boys in the trenches and women and children at home: they strike the business men in Shanghai and the family with a son of military age in San Francisco. A worldvof such unprecedented intimacies offers a double chance to its inhabitants. On the one hand lies the finest possi- bility for international brotherhood that men have ever known; on the other hand, the most dire possibilities of calamity and world friction. “Over against such ideas as ex- pressed by this jurist, let us place the opinions of such men as are back of the League to Enforce Peace. This league is supported by President Wil- son, ex-President Taft,"Premier Lloyd George, ex-Premier Asquith, Dr. Bal four, Lord Gray, Viscount Bryce, Pre- mier Briand, and many other of the world’s statesmen. Lloyd George said in a Guild hall speech, ‘Peace and se- curity will be that the nations will band themselves tozether to punish the first peace-breaker who comes out.’ President Wilson in his address before the U. S. senate said, ‘In every discussion of the peace that must end this war, it is taken for granted that that peace must be followed by some definite concert of powers which will make it virtually impossible that any such catastrophe should ever over- whelm us again. Every lover of man- kind: sane and thoughtful man, ce that for granted.’ the evils of internationaliem must also be guarded against. In such program creat care must be taken not to entirely destroy the values of nationalism which are fundamental and 1t need not be dcestroyed.

Neither is the community or the state destroved In pro- rec but of sins in seen in and is every Now hara essential those way we must have a internationalism which otherhood, personality the same gram of ognizes international b does not the the nation “IVe have a great ample of good will in the attitude of our government toward China when we returned to her $30,000,000 of the d international ex- that individual must be | Boxer indemnity which she had paid us, we having found that there was CHURCH NEWS Trinity Methodist Church Monday—The annual Philathea class meeting will be held this evening | at 7:45 o'clock in the Baraca room of the church.

Scouts from this amount loss. in excess of our actual China found that no other gov- crnment had ever done such a thing her her and that China had never ireated any other nation in such man- ner in all her history, she therefore set aside this money and has since been using the interest from this fund to send her splendid voung men to this country for higher education in American ideals and culture. This one concrete act of unselfishness and fairness certainly stands, as a great protection against war between this country and China. We hear talk in these days about war with Japan. And we will probably come to that if we keep up our selfish, unfair discrimi- nation on the Pacific coast. In almost every nation today which is affected by this war there are groups of men who are giving their attention ex- clusively to questions, not of the war at all, but of trade and commerce and other intcrnational interests after the war. These men are doing this at the dircetion of their governments. For the same zood reason, why should not men be studying and preparing a program of international friendship and good will to put into operation af- ter the war? The world is too closely related to allow any one nation to build a wali around itself and try to remain aloof. Cities in ages gone by could wall themselves in and be safe. That cannot be done today either by stone or by steel. No army or navy, however sirong, is an assurance against invasion. Thera is only one certain protection. and that is inter- national friendship which is supported by an international force against which no individual nation will dare rise. “This friendship is nothing more nor less than the love which Jesus preached projected into all the world and into all world relations, and this, if rightly understood and thoroughly practiced, will solve the world’s dif- ferences. The trouble has been that this power has never been tried upon a large scale. It has been tried with success by individuals and by small groups, but has been put aside by nations and in international consid- erations. Today we have come to realize that other policy must be used if we are to secure ourselves against | such world calamities, and it is a grat- ifving fact to find that some the very first statesmen of the world are looking to the principles of the Chris- tian religion for the basis of such a security. We are convinced that they will not be disappointed ‘Love worketh no ill to his neighbor,” said the apostle, ‘therefore love is the ful- filling of the law.” This power, we of Training | tho! pose| 2ot and tiong a5 hea sen sick Mrr “I want to follow these througs M the very end,” said he, “and find out who is responsible in order that I can punish the guilty.” Although more than 1,000,000 men are under arms in this country, Mr. Baker said, the number of complaints received has been relatively small, probably not more than 18. In each instance, he said, investigations hav immediately been made. Some re- ports, he said, have not proved serious on inquiry, while others had, in which case corrections followed, In the case of the body of an officer who died at an aviation train- ing school being shipped home in a sheet, the secretary said, inquiry de- veloped that the camp was in charge of a British aviation officer, who fol- lowed the British custom. Another complaint, of neglect of a patient at Camp Wheeler, he said, de veloped that it was unjustified and re- sulting from the distressed imagina- tion of the widow. He told of investigations which re- sulted in discharge of Lieut. Charles W. Cole and Lieut. John D. Dye for neglect of patients, as recently pub- lished. “The department sets its face against that sort of callous disregard of soldiers’ health,” Secretary Baker said. “I want the doctors and the country to know that their lives and welfare are a responsibility which I will not permit to bo dodged.” While camp commanders are held responsible for health conditions, the secretary said, the surgeon general's office has daily inspections and he has appointed Dr. John A. Hornsby, a hos- pital expert, as his personal inspector. A telegram from Dr. Hornsby re- garding army conditiors which Sena- tor Chamberizin assailed, disclosed | them greatly improved “with mortal- ity reduced and ample accommoda- ’ tions for all sick.” | Secretary Baker read Mrs. Mary Roberts writer, who has a son commending hospital conditions sho recently inspected. Mrs, Rinehart sald she was impressed by Senator Chamberlain’s “Tragic letters.” “But T feel the mothers of the country should know,” wrote Mrs Rinehart, “that the number of such cases is small. i t is cruel to allow everv mother to join the medical corps because here and there men ara unwilling or un- able to give the care that is their duty. There are conditions to he remedied The shortage of women nurses is seri- ous. But of cruelty and indifference I have found nothing.

All that could be done was to provide every means of &cience to meet that danger. That he insisted was being done. Taking up Senator Chamberlain’s attack on the ordnance bureau, Mr. Baker said that men's minds differed about the types of guns to be used and about the quantity. He then dis closed that a unanimous decision to adopt the so called re-chambered En- field rifle Was reached at a conference attended by Gen.
