Service has a poem called "The Revelation," of which these stanzas are typical: "We've bidden good-bye to life in a cage, we're finished with pushing a pen; They're pumping us full of bellicose rage, they're showing us how to be men. We're only beginning to find our. selves; we're wonders of brawn and thew; But when we go back to our sissy jobs,~--oh, what are we going to do? : "For shoulders curved with the coun- ter stoop will be carried erect and square; And faeces white from the office light will be bronzed by the open air; And we'll walk with the stride of a new-born pride, with a new-found joy in our eyes, Scornfuf men who have diced with death under the naked skies "Don't you guess that the things we're seeing now will haunt us through all the years; ; Heaven and hell rolled into one, glory and blood and tears; Life's pattern picked with a scarlet thread, where once we wove with a grey To remind us all how we played ofr part in the shock of an epic day? "Oh, we're booked for the Great Ad- venture now, we're pledged to the Real Romance; We'll find ourselves or we'll lose our- selves somewhere in giddy old France; We'll know the zest of the fighter's life; the best that we have we'll give; - We'll hunger and thirst; we'll die . . but first--we'll live; by the gods, we'll live!" That is one of the big facts the war. It has been an emancipation of manhood, Wage slaves have become free men and heroes. Dwarfed souls, once. chained for life to a dreary grind, have been set at liberty to tra- vel half way over the earth, and to en- ter into new kingdoms of knowledge. In putting on the uniform, mytiads of men' have taken on the whole world. That they should win to new. physical vigor and, power was a foregone con- clusion; what 4a more important is that ithey have YNown greater in their iri They look out upon a larger Know- ing life, they know also themselves. Like the Hero of our Lesson, they have "increased in wisdom and stat ure, and in favor with God and man." One great item to be put to the credit side ion. the balance sheet of war is the improvement of our young men, who are coming home to make things new . For 'Progress is The law of life; man is not Man, as Canned Religion. Millions will this week study this lesson of growth, based upon the story of the hoy Jesus. , It bears upon its face the message that the Christian life is a progress, and not a once-for- all experience. In New England "ex. perience meetings" I have heard men tell of their religion as if it were a memory of a lifetime ago, like their voyage around the Horn, It was an incident of the past, and not a_ reality of the present. Now stale religion is less palatable than canned food or barrelled water. Shipwrecked sail- ors are grateful for the cask of stale water that saves their lives; even so may one in emergency turn to a stored-up religious experience. But the waters of life are "living waters," flowing all the time, "fresh every morning and new every eve." Real religion is ever a present ex- perience. Superstition harks back al- ways to that which is past. The "natural religion" of primitive people i sa thing and tradition. In shining contrast is the Jesus way, which pro- vides for an enternally contempora- neous contact with God. = It is not enough 'that once in the long ago Jess introduced men to the Father. e is doing the same thing day by day at this present time; so that countless hearts are aglow with a vi- tal consciousness of God, who is more of a reality to them than the friend WHAT THE RECRUIT WINS The International Sunday School Lesson For Au ust 4th Is "@rowing Stronger."--Luke 2:42-52; 2 Peter 1:5-8. = By William T.

They "grow in grace" by stowing, "in the knowledge of the Lord." e secret of their characters is their contact and cosn- munion with Christ. The World's New Schoolhouse, Not the Crusades, nor yet the Ren- naissance or the. Reformation, caused any such a world awakening as has come to pass through the present world-war. Thosé three epochs in history marked a great liberation of knowledge and intellectual effort, and consequent re-shaping of society. The present crisis is literally recreating the entire world order. * There is no spot on earth so remote as to be un- touched by it. By this cataclysm, all mankind is being sent to school for a training in cosmopolitanism, in inter- dependence, in righteousness, and. in peace. It is not alone the soldiers who have left their homes for the bat- tlefront who are acquiring new know- ledge and new comvictions: all who stay behind are being lifted by these strange new tides of the times. God's great law of growth is work- ing out, In a mysterious and violent fashjon, the race is being lifted up to higher levels. Already we have learned a lesson which the centuries had failed to teach us--the sacredness weaker peoples and nations, Bro- therhood has had its best exemplifica- tion alongside of all of the strife of the past for years. Justice is seen to be more valuable than safety, and, in the words of the one great interpreter of the moral meanings of th war. "the right is more "precious than peace." + All who have analyzed the mind of the soldiers are agreed that there is a new. resoluteness to right the social and economic. and indus- trial wrongs that have long existed im our nations. The midnight experi- ence of humanity is but the forerun- ner of the brightest morning man has known. . All thoughtful persons--and who is not thoughtful 'in these days?-- look forward te a reconstructed world, The Soil Where Souls Grow. Any soil is good for soul-growth-- except that which is too rich. Herein is a spiritual paradox, contrary to the analogy of nature. Stony ground produces granite _gharacters. Bar. rens, swept. .by witids of. adversity, grow fruitful spirits, © Hard circum- stances make hardy: heroes, Depri- vation becomes addition. Softly-nur- tured lads are changed by 'the war from idleness and uselessness into no- hie manhood . Usually, the soldier "finds himself". in the service. Then welcome each rebuff That. turns earth's | smoothness rough, nN Each sting that bids. ner sit nor stand, but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain; Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe! ~-Robert Browning. While society is busy trying to make a nonentity of everybody, seek- ing conformity at all costs, God is at work building personalities . Dur prevalent conceptions of religion have committed few greater blunders than this, that they have exalted the pass- ive virtues, and have stressed an as- cetic self-effacement, so that the "mo- del" Christian, held up for youth's emulation, is a forceless. character- less, inoffensive ereature that really is an offence to both God and man. God wants personalities . He would have His friends to be mighty in their in- dividuality. He gets no honor from shadowy saints, singing "Oh to be nothing," and leaving no more perma- nent impression upon their world than a reflection does upon a mirror. Christ was all personality. He was a Some. body---for the sake of everybody. For it is a kindergarten lesson that we must be before we can do. The edu- cation which effaces individuality from the shild, and the religion which sub- tracts force from character, both do violence to God's great law of life and growth. » In reaction against the soft and de- featist type of religion, which secks only refuge, and sings hymns of flight from the world, a British barrister more virility and genuineness than DODGING HIGH EXPLOSIVES ON THE WESTERN FRONT of the personality and rights of the | | much of our conventional Christian poetry: "Jesus, Whose lot with us was cast, Who saw it out, from first to last; Patient and fearless, tender, true, Carpenter, vagabond, felon, Jew! Whose humorous eye took in each phase Of full rich life this world displays, Yet evermore kept fast in view The far-off goal it leads us to: Who, as your hour neared, did not fail-- The world's fate trembling in the scale-- : With your half-hearted band to dine, And chat across the bread and wine: Then went out firm to face the end, Alone; without a single friend: Who felt, as your last words con- fessed, Wrung from a breast By hours of dull, ignoble pain, Your whole life's fight was fought in proud, unflinching vain: Would I could win and keep and feel That heart of love, that spirit of steel. "I would not to Thy bosom fly To slink off till the storms go by. If you are like the man you were You'd turn with scorn from such a prayer, Unless from some poor workhouse crone, . Too toil-worn to do aught but moan. Flog me and spur me, set me straight At some vile job I fear and hate: Some sickening round of long endea- vor, + No light, no rest, no outlet ever: All at a pace that must not slack, Tho' heart would burst and sinews crack: Fog in one's eyes, the brain a-swim, A weight like lead in every limb, And a raw pit that hurts like hell Where once the light breath rose and fell : Do you.but keep me, hope or noiie, Cheery and staunch till all is done, And, at the last gasp, quick to lend One effort more to serve a friend. "And "when--for so I sometimes dream-- I've swum the dark, the silent stream, So cold, it takes the breath away, That parts the dead world from the day, And see upon the further strand The lazy, listless angels stand, And with frank and fearless eyes The comrades wirom 1 most did prize: Then, clean, unburdened, careless, cool, I'll saunter up from that grim pool, And join my friends; then you'll come by, The Captain of our Company: Call me out, look me up and down, And pass me through without a frown, With half a smile, but never a word-< And so | shall have met my Lord." Again we tirn to one of thé books from the trenches for the word to clinch the lesson, Pointing to the example of the strong Son of God, Chaplain Gray writes: "It is plain that He livéd life on the levels where it is always risky. It was for Him an ad- venture in which He always had great forces against Him, He needed all His quiet strength, and His consum- mate bravery . He needed a spirit that could not be conquered by fear, It was His lot to take great risks and to take them daily. "The strain of it was tremendous, There were times when He had to go away, and be with God through long, lonely nights in order to recover His strength. But from such times He always emerged serene and again, He was perpetually on active service, and never knew the respite of a safe life in a retired home. Fhe cross on which He died wa lis shoulders all through His days. He had a great affectionate heart, and yet had to see friend after friend depart, and to discover that His calling was making Him intensely lonely, He had all our human longings for joy and ease, but He had to forego them in order to be true to His destiny, His life was in 'many respects like the sol- dier's, the explorer's. the pioneer's, or that of a traveller in Arctic regions. It was a perpetual endurance. . . . "That is how it came to pass that men who had seemed to others quite ordinary persons learned from Him the secret of an heroic endurance, and a splendid persistence which filled the world with wonder. The whole world could not conquer Him. and so even His 'friends were lifted above the world's power." 3 i The Japanese steamer (Canada Maru, bound in from Yokohama and Kobe with a cargo valued at some ($4,000,000, ran aground at the en- has written a prayer to Jesus that fas{grance to the Straits of Juan de Fuca. : .
