Show Building the City. The new and bettor world after the war, of which we dream these days, will not build Itself any more than the rtlbbta which marks the site of Ypres or Louvalu will come together ' oi Itself into beautiful and splendid buildings, observes a writer. It will take time und struggle and Infinite patience1, pa-tience1, and If men ami women are not ' willing to pay the price of a new and better world, such will not come merely mere-ly because they have air.v visions of It. Much of our talk about better things to conic Is too cheap and easy and has not enough of grip and purpose pur-pose to make It worth much. What Qod is giving us, and will give us in those great nfter-tlie-war days, Is a wonderful opportunity, but we shall have to meet that opportunity with heroic endeavor an. I self-sacrificing effort ef-fort before It can possibly become fruitful. Talk Is cheap and dreams are sweet and Inspiring, but It is not with these alone that the Kingdom of God i is bulliled In the earth and mankind Is won for righteousness and brotherhood. |
