DEPICTS SAD PLIGHT OF FRENCH CHILDREN Field Secretary of McAll Mission Speaks at South Church General IPleld Secretgry of the Na- tional McAll assogjation, @eorge T, Berry, told an interested audience at the South Congregational church yes- terday afternoon, of the*pitiable con- dition of some 800,000 poor children of France today whom the MecAll Mission In France 1s trying to help, relieve and educate, Before the ad- dress of Mr, Berry selections of ¥rench music were played by Organ- st Beebe and the children of the lo- cal Children's McAll sang prettily un- der the direction offMrs. W, C. Dalz- elle, accompanied by Mr, Beebe at the organ, Compliments the Children, The speaker was Introduced by Miss ¥Frances Whittlesey who referred to the keen interest of the children of the youthful branch of the New RBrit. aih Auxiliary in their small brothers and sisters of France, and their ef. fective help. Mr, Berry, after com- plimenting the small singers on their delightful performance, asked if it might be possible for them to learn and to sing for him, if he was again asked to come to this city, a French song such as the children of France are taught. He spoke of the learning by the French of our songs and the earnest, thought sometimes amusing, efforts they made to master our lan- guage and musical time. Praises Helpers Here. Mr. Berry emphasized the fact that in teaching and helping the children of France, as the McAll Mission is doing, it is doing a great work to make strong the future citizenship of that devastated country. He drew a pathetic picture of the condition of fnnumerable children, stricken by ill- ness through suffering, and fighting bravely to overcome the anguishing handicaps war had placed upon their innocent shoulders. He spoke of the help America and such organizations as the McAll had been, vividly pictur- ing one instance where a small lad, ring one-half of an American bMnket in the daytime, and using the other half to keep off the cold at night, was in the habit of piloting a teacher through the low, dark streets of a poor portion of Paris as she went about her charitable work. Tells of Work in France. Mr. Barry's intimate acquaintance with the suffering of the poorer classes to whom the McAll is bringing not only the gospel but also the prac- tical religion of cleanliness and truth, made effective his appeal, especially to the children, that they continue their work so well begun. He told of the woman of Washington who had “adopted” a poor French boy and who had gone to the poor hovel which was his home and had lived with the boy and his mother for several weeks, the better to understand and to be; able to help. He told of the summer camps for the children where they leafned. the first principles of the higher'things, and whence they came with a new light on life, refusing to allow to continue the dirty conditions in which they had lived, and refusing to partake of food until grace had ‘been said at the poor table. The Heart of America. Mr. Barry emphasizeéd the belief of leaders in France that ‘“The Heart of America, once won, is never lost,” and he: stressed this fact with the hope that America would, through its great heart which had once been given to ¥'rance, continue to aid in the up- ELECTRICAL WIRING Have your home wired now at $3.25 per outlet, by the Corridan Electric Co., Electrical Contractors. .= House wiring, fixtures, supplies and appli- ances. @We wire, wire us. 141 JEROME STREET FOR SALE Business . property consisting of store. five tenements and five car gar- age.

G. H. 8chneck of the German Baptist church, who has been a pacifist for years. In an Armistice Day sermon yesterday, Rev, Schneck sald, In part: “Lest we forget,”” {s the slogan of this day. Certainly we shali*never forget those who in the world war did their duty as they saw it and made the supreme sacrifice. But to make this war a world warning we should also not forget the awful blunders we made. We justified war as such using exactly the same arguments for it which two decades ago German gener- als and statesmen used. We despised the conscientious pacifist and put him in prison. Paul was ready to’'become 1E REV. G. H. SCHNECK a fool for Christ's sake and thus the pacifist must be ready to make the su- preme sacrifices and become a fool be- fore men for the truth's sake. “War is wrong and ‘folly' as Nor- man Angell, the well known English pacifist calls it, frém the economic standpoirit. In 1914 J. P. Morgan call- ed it ‘wholesale waste of capital.’ In 1918 David Lloyd George made the striking remark that this war cost the world 2 billions of dollars in every 30 to 40 days and that if this sum were used every year for 10 years, poverty would ceast. 7 “In 1920 our own country spent 92 per cent of all its national income on matters pertaining to war. War is wrong also from the ethical stand- point. In war the innocent children, old people, industrious people, have to suffer with the guilty. Our instincts revolt against this in normal condi- tions but war sets natural ethical principles aside. Politcal Standpoint “War is wrong from political and historical standpoints. This we Ameri- cans are but slow to admit as we are taught to point to our great wars as having been fought for great moral principles.. I have heard American historians of standing say that the Revolutionary war could have been avoided and that the same results could have been accomplished with- out going to war, And some historians claim that at the time of our civil war economic forces were already at work which would have put slavery to an end. Wars as costly blunders for both gides. It is a political asset for a na- tion to be respected and not to be feared. Standpoint of Philosophy. “War is wrong from the standpoint of philosophy. Histery is the un- folding of ideas through action. In war, however, the moral world order punishes both sides alike, quite re- gardless of the military outcome, quite jndifferent to the respective pleas of justice. The action af war i« wrong. We claim that we fight for justice, truth, freedom and de- mocracy. The greatest ideas cannot be put to life by the worst procedure. They have to be soclally created day by day by the living. “War is also wrong from an edu- cational standpoint. The aim of edu- cation is to make men happy and useful, to create right thinking and living. It has been claimed war develops certain cardinal virtues, as courage, patriotism, the spirit of sacrifice, etc. On the other hand it sets loose the worst traits in human nature. War roots in wrong ideas of God, state, truth, right, duty, property and humanity. ““War is wrong from the biological standpoint. In the hand to hand Lfixxt of the war of olden times the ‘wéakest was killed; in modern wars, the best, the physically fittest, are killed. Undernourishment sets 1n. This brings 'an abnormal number of weak children and weak generations. “War is wreng from the standpoint of civic and constitutional rights. Tt is based on blind obedience, but blind obedience ia not intelligent obedience. Wars are seldom for the people, but always by the people and of the peo- ple. They are usually fought in the interest of classes, dynasties and cap- ital., War makes nations into herds of sheep, instead of odies “War iz wrong from a Christian standpoint, Our Christian religion stands for the great truths of the fatherhood of God and the Hrother- hood of men. War puts (o scorn the teachings of Christ and the Glory of the Cross, it makes a farce out of the 'Holiest of Holles,' Will War Ceasc? “Will wars cease now? They will not. You may convinee people of the foolishness of war and the moral wrong in it, but there are two obsta- clos gvhich are hard to overcome. A misguided racial temper, nationalistic sentiment and selfishness and sin, There are things worth while fight. Ing for and a fighting spirit for truth and right is a mighty fine thing, but it all depends on the motive and the means in this fight. Until men are willing to be gripped by the Baviour, until our schools, our press, our leaders, our politics, our business concerns, our churches are permeated with the Christian spirit, wars will come again, “Two things touched me deeply in the parade Haturday afternoon, A streamer on one of the floats, ar- ranged by one of our public schools, boaring the Inscription: ‘As our sol- diers fought for world understanding thus our schools shall teach the lan- guage of justice, humanity and peace’ And when the veterans of the world war marched into Walnut Hill park the band after having played ‘a martial tune played ‘On- ward Christlan Soldiers.’ These things are the encouraging signs of the day."
