Now we may safely say that no nation has acted on that principle since the beginning, and it does not soem likely that any will. On the contrary new weak nations have felt that they must not only have auth- orities and a force to maintain inter- nal order, but a force to repel exter- nal foes, and where tle weak have po the strong E they are held in es onar. 0 does not ad- mire and A Leonidas and his Spartans and just now Belgium op- posing the might of Germany? Bod- ies like the Quakers and Doukho- hors have certainly failed to impress their non-resistance views to any ex- tent upon others. Yet the matter may be a source of conscientious trouble to more than we think. The guestion for us however, is not what do certain bodies or individuals think, but what does the Christian religion require of us? Our only source of knowledge on + that point is the Bible. What does it teach? We look into the old Tes- tament and find war at any osarly date. Thus when Abraham's nephew Lot was carried away captive by those ;who swooped down upon Sod- am, Abraham got his retainers and friends together and went in pur- suit. They Gverthrew the enemy and retook the prisoners. There was no condemnation of him, but blessing Son Melchizsedek, priest of the Most H God. At a lateg date the Israelites were command of God to go up and possess the land of Canaan. They were to utterly destroy the Canaan- ites. Some moderns have been ready to say that could not have been a command from the God we profess to worship. But there are certain things to be noted. There has been are not a terror to good but to the evil. They are ministers, attending continual- Render ly upon this very thing. great the punishment it brings in its train, So the world was and schooled for the advent of Christian- ity with its fuller revelation of the Fatherhood and love of God. Nations, as such exist only in this world and so here are chasten- ed and punished. God bears with a nation until its cup of iniquity is full and then comes doom. But God has various ways of dealing with na- tions, as fire, flood, pestilence, earth- world became so corrupt that it was swept away with a flood, all except Noah and his family. The cities of the plain became so bad that ulti- : mately they were wiped out by fire and brimstone, Lot alone with some of his family escaping. David was given a choice of forms of punish- ment. He chose pestilence and 70,- 000 of the people died. The Canaan- ites were to suffer by the sword as a warning to Israel not to follow their idolatrous ways, and evil practices. Yet the warning was not heeded as it should have been. When Israel went astray, the Lord brought ene- mies against them, but when they re- pented and cried to him, - he raised up deliverers, the judges. He did not condemn Israel for fighting their foes, but gave them the victory, and when they needed no chastening preserved them in peace. When the monarchy came, then David was call- ed the man after God's own heart, for though he made a couple of falls, the general tenor of his life was that has was ready to do God's will. . But he was a man of war. He overthrew Goliah and broke the power of the Philistines, yet he stands out as one of the brightest characters in history. True, he was not permitted to build the temple. It was more appropri- ate that it should be built by a man of peace. But David had his pecu- liar work to do, a work of prepara~ tion, and he did it well. So in the later history of Israel and Judah, we do not find them condemned for over- throwing thé enemies that came against them, but for turning aside after the idolatrous practices of the world. The sacredness of human life 13 affirmed in the Old Testament. The commandment is: "Thou shalt not kill," that is, commit murder. If one does, his own life must pay the penafty. That was laid down by that same Jewish law, and even be- fore the rise of Judaism, in the days of Noah, whoso sheddeth man's blood by man shall his blood be shed. Only thus can the stain of blood be re- moved from the community. This is a command evidently intended for all time. But ardistinction is put between blood shed in war and in (Have You a Photo eto sramin, We 7,0 3 Taken in Your Own Front Room? We try to please. Prices from $7 to $35. Have a and groupsspeciaities.

The whole|' therefore to all their dues, tribute to whom tribute is due, custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear," etc. When John the Baptist was asked by the-soldiers, what they should do, he told them to do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and to be content with their wages. They were not to misuse their office, ill- treating or seeking by violence or threats to extort money from those whom they were supposed to protect, but to be content with their wages. But they must earn their wages, that is, do their duty as soldiers. Several centurions are mentioned in the New Testament, and none un- favorably. One is the centurion whose servant Christ healed. Jesus did not require him to give up his office, but at once answered his re- quest and commended him most high- ly: "I have not found so great faith, not not in Israel." Another was present at the crucifixion, and while others mocked, he reverently ex- claimed: "Truly this was the Son of God." Another had charge of Paul on his journey to Rome. He treated Paul courteously, and on one occa- sion intervened to save his life. An- other was Cornelius. Through him the Gospel was first officially commu- nicated to the Gentiles. That pe- cullar honor was conferred upon a militgry officer. He was' not requir- ed to give up his office. He is spo- ken of as "a devout.man and one that feared God," in the first instance, and when the Gospel came he receiv- ed it, and he and those with him re- ceived the Holy Ghost. What can we infer from all this but that the military office is lawful, and therefore war when the circum- stances require? True, Christ said: "I say unto you, that ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek turn to him the other also. Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, de good to them that hate vou, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you." But he did not say, if any man seeks to murder you, that you are to permit him, nor to murder or outrage those committed to your care. Our Mas- ter simply showed that we are to go to great lengths to avoid quarrelling, and ever to have the right spirit. With this agrees Paul's saying, "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." But there is a time when forbear- ance ceases to be a virtue, when it is necessary to stand up for the right, and to protect the helpless, albeit maintaining to all the spirit of love. When Christ sentforth His dis- ciples diufing his life time to teach and to heal, He told them to make no provision for their travels, not to take purse, scrip, etc. But when the end of his earthly career was at hand He gave them to under- stand that they must now use the re- sources at their command, "he that hath a purse let him take it, and likewise his scrip; and he that hath no swords, let him sell his garment and buy one." That special care and provision given during His earthly career were to.cease. The disciples showed him two swords. He said, "It is enough." Not they are en- ough, but enough is said on the sub- ject. They misunderstood Him. When His enemies "began to gather around Him, one of His disciples smote off the high priest's servant's ear, | Jesus said, not "suffer ye thus far," meaning endure yet, but "per- mit" me thus far, addressed to those who held him, and He touched the ear and healed it. His words re- garding the sword had no such pal- try meaning as the disciples suppos- ed. He meant that henceforth His followers must use their earthly re- sources, of course, as elsewhere in-| 1008 illness. culeated, always trusting in God. They must look out for their own provision and defence. The few dis- ciples could have availed nothing against the Jews and Romans, and Christ's was a spiritual kinkdom which was not to be propagated by force. But Christians while they render unto God the things that are God's are also to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's. They are to support the secular authori- ties, They look to them for justice and protection, and they in turn are to stand by the government, thus honoring the King. An aggressive war is certainly un- justifiable. That is plain robbery and murder. Such is the war "that Germany plunged into. She has sup- plemented it by a system of whole- sale lying, and by atrocities suppos- ed impossible for any civilized na- tion. Britain was not content to stand by and see her neighbors over- whelmed. She knew too that after- wards -her turn would come, when single handed she would have to face the foe. She was in honor bound to stand by Belgium, for a treaty was not to her "a mere scrap of paper." Unprepared she was on land, but she got ready, and now the votaries of Bernhardi and the Ger- man philosophers who advocated war are likely to get enough of it. Britain will emerge from this war covered with glory for she stood by the right, no matter how great the cost to herself. If she had not drawn the sword, she might well have received such taunts as "Where is your honor? Your word is no- thing worth." No reliance is to be placed on you." Chastening she needed, and she will come forth chastened, purified, better fitted for the work of the Lord. say of Canada and all the Dominions of the Empire, who have right loyally helped in the time of need. When far weaker nations have re- sisted their foes, it is out of the question to think that powerful na- tions like Britain, France and Russia would submit to foreign don¥ination without a struggle. But if Britain submitted, would that end war? Nay, the Germans would say, "Our rule is conscription, you nmust fight in our armies or be shot." So she would compel numbers to help her in fur- ther aggression, aiming at the con- quest of the world.

CHURCH HAS MONEY TO BURN SACKET HARBOR CHURCH GETS WINDFALL, Bequest of Mrs. Hay Amounts to Thousands--Made a Small Gift to Sunday School Years Ago and Now| It Has Grown to Great Amount. Watertown, N.Y, Standard. 'tne rresbyterian Church at Sack- et Harbor, N.Y., occupies the envia- ble position of having more money than it khows what to do with. So serious has that no less than two well known Watertown attorneys are now busy trying to find some way of disposing of the money, The attorneys are former Senator George H. Cobb and Robert Wilcox and the story is as follows: | Some years ago, Mrs. Marietta | Pickering Hay, sister of former Lieu-| tenant 'Governor Allen C. Beach,| donated to the church a little library | for the Sunday school. Im order to provide for the upkeep of the library and to permit of the purchase of new | books - occasionally, Mrs. Hay pre- sented the church with a block 'of stock' of New Jersey zinc. At that time and for a number of years following the income from this stock amounted to something be- tween $100 and $200, which was quite sufficient to buy all the books needed. But then came the Euro- pean war, and suddenly New Jersey zinc went bounding sky high. Within a few weeks where the Sacket Har- bor Presbyterian Church had former- ly possessed a few hundred dollars worth of securities, now it owned stock valued at close to $50,000. It was one of the miiracles of modern finance. The stock is known as a '""'war baby" stock, What is more, the stock immedi- ately started paying enormous divi- dends. - The income from the stock now amounts to thousands of dollars a year, enough to buy books aplenty for all the Sunday school libraries in Northern New York. Of course, there are dozens of oth- er ways that the Sacket Harbor church might use the money to ad- vantage, It might be used to pay the salary of the pastor, or again it might go towards the building of a new church. But aM this is impos- sible. The terms of the gift are that the income from the stock must be used to buy books for the"Sunday_school library and for no other purpose, and in an effort to see if there is some way out of the tangle, the Water- town attorneys have been retained. Mrs. Hay gave mafy gifts to the Sacket Harbor Presbyterian church in the course of her life, presenting the church with its belfry chimes and organ. , ' LATE JOHN FP.
