Several regiments of Union soldiers were withdrawn from the front to settle the uprising. A Pennsylvania poli- tician made a smart suggestoin. He said to Abraham Lincoln: "Our Federal military prisons are filled with Southern military prisoners. These boys are young and keen and good fighters, as we have plenty of reason to know. I'll bet. that most. of them would rather be outdoors fighting the Indians than sitting idly in jail. Why not recruit them into regiments and send them West?" The proposal was adopted and was immediately successful. But this is what happened in one instance, which throws a fine clear light on the practicability of Communism. I quote from my father's "Life of Lincoln." a "A thousand war prisoners were enlisted at Alton, Lllinois, and Camp Douglas in Chicago to fight the Indians. They left Chicago on two special trains. Each man had in his pocket two hundred dollars bounty in United States greenbacks, and none of them had any other money. During the period of their imprisonment most of them had be- come habitual card players. It is said that before they reached their destination a very few individuals had the lion's share of the money. "Perhaps never before on earth was there so equitable an experi- ment in the results of starting men out in life on the basis of equal division of property. The equal division appears not to have lasted very long." Life is a battle and a gamble. We can improve the rules, give fairer handicaps to the less favored, and make the game more humane. But we can't alter the fundamentals of human nature. Communism tries to do that; and Communism will always fail. * i *& we. lOO All Make Mistakes One of the most interesting men of my acquaintance has been wrong about forty per cent of the time. I can look back over his career and point out a dozen different points where he took one stand and subse- quently had to revise it. Why then has he stayed on top? First, I think, because he is absolutely truthful. What he sometimes imagines to be the truth turns out later to be an error, but he never consciously hedges for anything or anybody. Second, he is always trying. Roll him in the dust, and he is up ina minute and starting forward again. Lay something before him which you think is pretty good, and he instinctively reaches for a pencil and begins to try to improve it. Let him accomplish an objective, and im- mediately he has set his eyes on another point further ahead. Finally, he never wastes any_time in regretting the past. "Regret," said some one, "takes as much out of you as a prolonged drunk." This man has been an encouragement to me. So have the words of Stevenson, who exclaimed, "God give us young men who have the courage to make fools of themselves." I figure that I am entitled to one major mistake a week. This is my quota. As long as I keep within it I feel all right. But frequently I run over. @ KFS - ourselves LESSON by Rev Charles E. Dunn, The Power of Jesus Over Death. Lesson for _11:32-44, Golden Text: John 11:25. | The Christian standpoint assures| us that for two excellent reasons im-j mortality is a reasonable assump-| tion. First of all, man's spirit is it- self an evidence for its own survi- val. As John Haynes Holmes tells us, 'man is immortal because already the signs of immortality are upon him." In the second place, we can be assured of immortality be- cause of the char- acter of God who is a cosmic, crea- tive Spirit after the manner of Jesus. To deny immortality is to} blacken God's character, to make! Him stupid, careless, ungenerous, worse than man, His child. For man, except when he launches such an anti-social enterprise as war, is eager to save life, not to destroy it. If this be true of man, how much more true it is of God! For God is surely above man, and therefore more anxious to preserve the high- est. And that highest is what wef call personality, self, or soul. Our lesson, the wonderful 11th! chapter of John's gospel, with its/ record of the raising of Lazarus, re-+ minds us that to the Christian eter-! nal lifé is a present possession. This truth, we must ever remember, is; taught by the familiar Golden Text, "T am the resurrection, and the life.'" These words are read, appropriately enough, at funeral services, but they are meant more for the living than for the dead. They make it clear that we now, through the liy- ing Christ, can live as immortal be- ings. But eternal life, as we find it pro- claimed in the New Testament, and in the Christian teaching throuch the ages, is not a free gift heneyo- Rev Chas. E. Dunn { lently bestowed upon all. You and ET must deserve it. 'Lay hold on eter-- nal life," wrote Paul to his beloved: Timothy. Immortality, you sée, is something to be grasped. We prove worthy of it.
