And uo it now. Make them protect you from robbery. Abraham Lincoln was somewhat of a prophet. He could see and he knew that the weights that are bearing humanity down would someday be lifted. He did his mightiest to lift some of these weights from those in bondage and having fulfilled his mission he parsed on and left to others the work of removing the killing burdens that are bearing the people down to death. And the liberty he spoke of shall soon fill the earth with its glory and redeeming power. ' In spite of all the surplus of the nation there is a great scarcity of food and clothing among more than half the people. Those who produced ihe most received the least. Why are not the enormous surpluses distributed in abundance to those in want? Because it wouldn't pay a profit, and therefore much of it was destroyed Is it possible that there are not brains enough in America to find a sane way to bring the surpluses and the needy people together? It seems not. And that is why there has to be a war to take up the surpluses and to dispose of some of the people. ' Without a triumphant faith in God, no material means of defense will suffice. We need today a resurgence of spiritua purposes and moral stamina. We desperately need today a revival of religious fervor, a renewed humility before God in support of whole hearted adherence to high standards of individual and group behaviour." Hull: . A smart University student remarks that our statement that there is no cure for conditions except in applied spiritual values is not true. We know that it is true. But let u ask, "Just what are the "smart men of the schools doing to solve the national and world problem?" They are doing little or nothing. In their case it may again be said, The wisdom of the wise has perished." One of the most popular and learned of college professors, Dr Hutchins, head of the University of Chioago proves this when he says: The industrial organisation that we have developed, carries us along, we do not know whither and we do not know why. We have more money, more food, more things, and more power than at any other time in history yet we are poorer, hungrier, more helpless and more confused That Is a fair specimen of the beet that than ever before. educators can say and do after 5000 years of progress. And what an alarming confession it is when the head of that great university can give no more hope than he does in these words. The famous doctor has neglected his bible. He cannot see, much less understand and interpret the xcroll of prophecy being unrolled. It is a great United States we have the best plaee and the best people in all the world. Here are some of its resources. It has 92 per cent of the world's natural gas. 60 per cent of the oil, 57 per cent of the lead, copper sine, asbestos, corn and cotton. It has 88 per cent of the world's nickel, 82 per cent of the sulphur, 43 per cent of the chemicals, 70 per cent of the gold and 66 per cent of the silver. It has 69 per cent of the known eoal deposits of the world, 90 per cent of the movies, 81 per cent of the autos, 53 per cent of the telephones. Now if only it had a spiritual wealth equal to its material wealth all would be well. Here is a picture which is not so pleasant to look upon. Before the coiiutry began helping others in the field of war it bad on hand 615,000.000 surplus pounds of pork, 100,000.000 pounds of surplus beef, 237,000 000 pounds of surplus Iamb, mutton and mutton lard, 86,000,000 pounds of surplus poultry, uncounted millions of bales of surplus cotton, 50,000,000 bushels of surplus wheat In 1861 Abraham Lincoln said of the great Declaration of "I have often inquired of myself what great Independence: topriuciple or idea it was, that kept this confederacy so long from colonies of the mere separation gether. It was not the but that sentiment in the Declaration of the Mother-Lan-d Independence which gave Liberty to the people for all future time. It as that which gave promise that in due time the of all and that all weights would be lifted from the shoulders embodied sentiment is the This chance. an have should equal of Declaration Independence." in the CALL TO GODS SILENT MESSENGERS Lpve travels on wings of its own Through space both near and far, No weapon has yet over thrown Or dared its pathway, to bar.
