Show Some Things Worth Thinking' About If You Know, You Live, If Not You Die Read and Ponder Why? Largely because of the economic fact; because they have not shared among themselves. They have not shared freely, as has the Creator, for all men. As Wordsworth phrased the thought, "The world is too much with us; Late and soon, getting get-ting and spending, we lay waste our powers Little we see in nature that is ours . . . Wing Anderson, in his book, Seven Years That The World says: President Roosevelt is likely to become the president for a fourth term. He gives as the reason that the country will be in such a condition that thepeople will be glad to let well enough alone and just let him carry over for four more years. More indispensable than military and naval security is a reformation of our life that shall issue in more of consistency more of justice, yes, and more of decency in all human rela-. rela-. tions. America must be a determining factor in bringing about conditions that shall secure to our people and to the nations now at war the finest security and the best peace this old world has ever known. Let, us with determination and courage set ourselves to the task of so preparing this nation . morally and spiritually that it shall play the part we believe God has given it, to heal the breaches assuage the pain and estore to comity and goodwill tha nati ons now at war. We turn to the Book of our forefathers and there we find Divine Assurance that the true climax will be such peace as now passeth understanding under-standing when the world will be lapt in universal law; a peace at present quite beyond the ken of man when we will see in nature what is ours, and LIVE, instead of die. Jesus Christ in His every act and teaching sought to give men the fine things of the abundant life. He reckoned with material values, and saw their just place inany consistent scheme'of life. His program contemplated equity and justice and a consistentjdistribution of the blessings of life to men of all sorts and kinds. 5Only by the application ofjHis teachings, practically applied to every condition of life, may the world find the way of peace and security. The few have had 1 heir day in that country and in all other countries. The present struggle will not end untill all nations have been brought to the severest judgment because of their sins against their people. God has sounded his trumpet trump-et for justice and equality and there will be no retreat in the great leveling process preparatory to humanity's redemption Our whole soul revolts against the condition in Wales where one man owns so very much and the workers own nothing. When the Duke of Windsor, then king, looked upon that condition con-dition his feelings were touched and he said, "I will see that something is done to better these conditions." Such a sentiment senti-ment sealed his fate and for it he had to abdicate. In the face of such conditions there and everywhere so-called civilization and Christianity are a mockery and they do but blasphemy t e Saviour when they say they live His religion. We take note of every great man's sayings or predictions about a new order of things for this old and idiotic world and always try to bring new or old thoughts before our readers. The latest we have!taken note of is from one of- the world's greatest men, H. G. Wells of England. Speaking before th British Association for the Advancement of Science he said: "Before there is to be any peace on earth henceforth there must be federal control of all natural resources and sweeping social and economic reforms." And he means what he says. He has for years foreseen that the old order is passing and a new one must be ushered in before there can be a true civilization, civili-zation, true Christianity, universal peace and an abundant life for everyone. At least 45,000,000, of Great Britain's 47,000,000 poqula-tion poqula-tion do not own an inch of land. On the other hand some few hold vaBt properties such as the Marquis of Bute, who recently recent-ly sold a part of his land ho'dings to a syndicate for $100,000, 000. The sale not only included half of Cardiff, ' Wales, the world's largest coal port, but also 20,000 of its homes and 500 of its stores, saloons, theatres and industrial plants." The church must be concerned with the way people make their living because this is one of the chief ways personalities are made and marred. Whenever Christianity retreats from man's material concerns it forces men to become materialists, leaving them no rea?on to seek further for reality. Thompson.
