Also, that within the last decade great strides have been made-i- the knowledge of food science and the routing of disease. It would seem as if these two tri- - umphs over the woes of mankind would bring a new era of health and happiness and prosperity. But we know that such a happy condition is impossible under the profit system. For the profit system s geared to ... ... ..

No matter how good the intentions or how kind the hearts, . what hope then for the poor, the hungry and the under-nourishe- The people themselves must expand the functions of nt far beyond the limitations which the cramping laws of a profit economy make possible to meet these varied human needs. We know too well how capital fights every new gov- - ernment control and opposes with every devise at its command every expenditure of public money for the masses. As be. , comes the citizens of a democracy, we must take the reins in our own hands and work out our own salvation.

( Those in the ranks of the "haves' ars likely to forget that thereal enemies in ourmidst are hunger, cold and naked- - ; ness. Besides them, there are no saboteurs of equal rank. The true patriot is ever aware of these enemies, and we must awaken the rest to this murderous form of fifth columnist, which never sleeps, and carries on, almost without interfere ence.the deadly work. of undermining the.bealtband prosperity of our nation. j ' ..Editorials Well Worth Reading..

( One wise man says: "No one worries about Christ as long as they keep Him shut up in the churches, but there is always trouble if you try to let 'Him out." Yes, when they begin to take Him out into the business and social world then the trouble begins.- - When religious leaders lead the peopla to demand state control and parceling out of land; national con-trol of all natural resources,' doirig away with interest and . profit, leveling 'class distinctions, helping and stabilizing the ' poor; or, rather making conditions so that there will be no poor, then howls come up from the reactionaries and they 1 say the teacKiugs of Jesm cannot be taken into industry arid J ) t business,' they are only for the churches and Sunday. League Comes to America It was not until last week that we learned that at long last the League of Nations has come home to the United Sta--' tes, and that right into the heart of the home city of its crea- - tor, Princeton, where Woodrow Wilson lived. Arthur Sweet-se- r, one of its leading secretaries who has been with it from the beginning, and one of the best informed men in the world on its functions, saw that because of the war it wis impracti-cable to operate in Geneva, brought what he could of it to America and is officially functioning here. He. with thousands of others, is calling for a new and similar world union after ;the war. Just before the League of Nations was created, H. G. Wells wrote these prophetic words: ''More and more does the choice ' stand out between a League of free Nations, or the pros-ipec- ts of a famished human race ransacking the smoking ruins of civilization in search of a vanished suatehcane.1' The world is suffering now, and will continue to suffer because murderer's row in the U.S. senate executed the means which an inspired leader gave to men that they might save themselves from war. Wilson's fourteenth point must yet be adopted. "A general association of nations must be formed by definite agreements offering mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity, both to small and large states." The League palace at Geneva still stands. The long table and the vacant chairs are in place in the big room where the ghost of Woodrew Wilson waits the coming of world patriots. C. V: Hi Philosophises This week has been assigned "Bible Week." About a week before the death of Sir Walter Scott, he said to his son-in-la- w "Read to" ine from the book.' when asked from what book,' Scott said, "Need I ask? There is but one." early every home has at least one copy of the Bible. Millions of copies are given as birthday, graduation and Christmas gifts. It is " a book that everybody buys and concerning 'which almost everybody is ready to engage in debate at the drop of a hat. ' Yet how many readmit? How many know what it really con-- 1 tains? In the early history of our land we read of the people who took time to read a few verses, and perhaps whole chap-ters before breakfast. But, of course, we are living in such a I fast age, that it could not be expected of us to do likewise. I Woodrow Wilaon said, "The ible is the word of life. You - will find it full of real men and woman.!' . . . - . - . . i . . j Take; Truth Where You Find It : The magazine Time's ' European correspondent, James Aldrklge, has visited the Russian front, seen the soldiers on duty and off duty, and mingled with the civilians. He writes that they go into battle singing; that no one heard of a Red soldier molesting any one, nor seen a single one drunk. ' The hosts of women workers he found to be clean, intelligent, ef--' ficient and extremely moral. Another writer says there is not found any venerial disease among the soldiers. The common : soldier, he says', has more opportunity to make suggestion than they do in tny other army that he has seen. Time is trathfui. Brotherhood Vs Sell-Intere- st - We rejoice when we read or hear of great i,jcn giving voice to the ideas we long have been setting forth Now comes Professor and Author Harry Overstreet with the following views: "We are living at the end of one civilization. This iperiod marks the end of economic man and the beginning of jthe modern type of spiritual man. j "This war is a fight for the human decencies. In the first place, we have been shocked awake by persecutions of the Jews, by the monstrocity of race discrimination and enslave-ment. All over the world there is an aroused sensitivity to the value of people as people The ugliness of race superior-ity is on the way out. "There is an awakening to the fatal in any system of life like that of the Nineteenth Century, that preaches brotherhood and practices The spirit itual revolution consists in an awakened sense that st must not any longer be the mainspring of life, but that the common interest must from now on be increasingly paramount." m m m ...

You'll get first class work at fair prices We congratulate Neighbor Arthur Robinson, now in Calif-ornia, on the occasion of his 84th birthday. Some say that October's child is born to woe, and life's viscisitudes must know. He has had his share but through it all he has come true and faithful, ' honest and honorable. Neighbor Howard Christen, sen, barber, at 1874 So. 5th E. , reports that he and his good wife are the parents of a boun-in- g baby boy, born Wednesday of last week. This boy will never have to go to war as Ar-mageddon will be over long be-fore he grows up.' Some parents make home somewhat of a hell by constant scoldin and beating of child-ren, sometimes hammering the little ones unmercytully. This is wrong and six times out of ten its the parent that should be taken lo the woodshed or to court. For heaven's sak don't do it parents, that boy or girl won't be with you long, and then you may have mem-or.e- s that may burn instead of blees. You'll want them in your Christian heaven. Better begin to live that heaven now. One troubie with the world is that through force and fear peo pie try to make children like the adults have been.

The stars will jinx Hitler and Hirohito and misfortune or death will overtake Mussolini. 1943 will be a year of recko-ning and here is what is likely to occur: Lightning war wil sweep Western Europe in spring. Peace with Italy by July or early August. China will triumph in September. Revolution in Japan, with disaster for Hirohito and family. Terrible scenes of bloodshed in Berlin in December. A great rise for the Soviet system in October. An attack on Prep. Roosevelt's life. Serious industrial unrest threatening the United States Radio Rides the Sky ( ;;, j!

Doolittle recently wired company employees: "Through these radios we issued commands that set our bombers on their marks." AreWe Chistianity's Stronghold? By Claire Stewart Boyer ' (CONTINUED) After the ministers come the leaders of church auxiliary groups.' Men and women who are in a position to set the direction of the trends of thought of organizations are chal- - ' lenged! After them come prominent people whose integrity l has given weight to their words. They, too, can lend great aid to the Christianity of America' by their elimination of big-otry and their cooperation with people outside their, own ' churches It is time we praised the Council of Churches of America : for their work in the brotherhod of man. It is time we praised the courage to try to unite ; such men as Fosdick for having ; America in love at the risk of receiving some of the brickbats hurled at him by dogmatists. It is tune we praised slim-soule- d the leaders who have brought together citizens of differing be-liefs and helped them to see their common ground. A united Christian front is just as important for our sur- -' front It is high time we stop-ped vival today as a united military pulling apart in our country and began pulling together. Hitler's greatest desire is the disunity of America especially Christian disunity. His fear of Judaism and Christianity have been proved by his treatment of those peoples. Maxwell Anderson, whose play ' Journey to Jerusalem is an astounding revelation of conditions in Arnica today,, puts into Herod's lips the words that Hitler spoken, "A man can face anything but that!" that Hitler can face It is high time we came to realize anything but a united Christian nation. That is the reason his of agents are trying to tear us apart by injecting small doers hate into our organizations. Every time a man or woman creed expresses hate or lack of tolerance for another Christian he is Hitler's agent, consciously or unconsciously. Every time someone criticizes a movement to unite American faith, he is undermining American strength. terrorized with the.idea o f We fear labor strikes and are battle that will be foht Amer revolution but the greatest ica will be the battle of Christ of anti-Chri- st of e .hae And it will be fought between good men and women gained Christ's true message and goowdhmoenwiall not openbg to a specific phase of Christianity hearts to His sheep in whatever fold they may be.

A Republic ot Humanity Isolationists, Jew baiters, and those afflicted with Red never quote the following from George Wash-ington in a letter to Layfayete: "I nm a citizen of the great Republic of Humanity... I see the human race united like a great Family by brotherly ties. We have sown a seed of liberty and union which will gradually spring up throughout the earth. One day, on the model of the United States of America, there will be created the United States of Europe. The United States will be the Legislator for all nationalities." Fiyspeck on the Charter We have found a fiyspeck on the famous Atlantic Char-ter Montague Norman, head of the Bank of England was with those who made it. That bank has ruled the world all too long. The rule of money has had its day, and what a day Oh, what a new America could be built if we would put aside our differences of belief and develop our perception until we could climb the spiritual mountain and meet at the top! Then looking down from that elevation we could see that all churches were headed in the right direction, but each was climbing its own path toward the summit. |
