STAR—TUESDAY, JAN. 1, 1918. PAGE 6 Your IRight Mand! ay, fellows, we've got more to “swear off” at the beginning of this year than ever before, come to think of it. We've still got a very fair representation of the old habits, and we've acquired some new ones during the past year. Moreover, the wisdom and duty of stick- ing to our new resolutions are stronger this time than ever before. Consider what the new year promises. There is to be war more hellish than the world has ever before known, notwithstanding the extraordinary slaughter and barbarity of the past year. Even peace would find whole peoples ruined and the nations still alive gasping with exhaustion. Even if democracy is saved to the world, it will be democracy weak and bleeding after an awful operation, democracy in the hospital. Fellows, let’s examine ourselves and see how strong the bad habit of thinking of and doing for self has got hold of us. We've given a dollar to the Red Cross, and maybe thought of it as a sort of tip that didn’t hurt us. We've bought a bond. Oh, well! There's 4 per cent interest in it; it didn’t hurt. Some of us have studied pretty considerably on how to “pass the buck” of war taxation. We've paid a cent or two more for such things as cigars, postage and movie tick- ets. It didn’t hurt. We've had a sort of hazy, indefinite idea that it was up to the other fellow to do most of the paying and fighting, and, mentally and physically, we've gone along in pretty much the same old comfortable way, satisfied that others would successfully perform whatever was to be done. There never was a time when the Lord gave more and greater opportunities for individual service for His people and His purposes. An old bachelor can pay 12 cents for a smoke that formerly cost him 10, and not feel abused. But 40 cents will feed a French orphan for a month. A dollar for the Red Cross, and you get a flag for your window. But $5 may save an only son to a widow. You go out to billiards, or theatre, or poker or club doings, with your reg- ular companions, all good fellows. But in the cantonments are fellows who are without mothers, fathers, home chums, who are alone in themselves, who have to take army provision and regulation in the raw and rough, and get they are your brothers! There is nothing more beautiful in these awful times than the long - distance adoption of foreign orphans by American families. Mr. Man, have you an orphan whose father died while defending your rights to liberty, home and happiness? Is there anything that = do directly to help and to save, beside subscribing an easy dollar now and then? Let’s swear off on regarding all that agony in Europe as remote and impersonal! Let’s swear off on giving and doing only to the point where it hurts us! Let’s swear off on feeling that somebody else will do it! ; We will, likely, eschew the weed with little Robin Reed, and be POPP RP eee eC Seer Tite ter.
