WHY WESHOULDGO TO CHURCH Before a group of workers in a big industrial plant the question was ask- ed, "Why Attend Church?" and on slips of paper which was passed the men wrote the following answers In reply: : 1. For a better understanding: of life, and the maintaining of a clear conscience. 2. Because church attendance teaches all things that are good. _ 3. To hear the Bible adjust things to modern life. : 4. It is the leading institution for all moral progress, therefore it de- mands our. support. We should at- tend for the sake of strength, adding power to the body, standing for high- est ideals of life and also for the wor- ship of the Lord. > : 5. Because no man can give a good reason for not attending. _ 6. Because it is a place ordained by Christ for the worship of God and the betterment of one's soul. 7. To set an example to the young men and children of our day; for if we neglect worship, very likely they will, ; The answers to the above questions may well be considered by some of those who read it here. The size of the force required for occupation of the Rhineland under the terms of the German peace treaty was a question under consideration by the supreme council on Saturday.

POTSDAM : "The White Beam of History" Will | Light Up The Kaiser's Crimes and Infamies Which are His Monument, Below we print a just, judicial, able | eloquent editorial from "The Edin- Surgh Scotsman." It was printed the 'ay after the treaty of peace was signed. It contains many compre- hensive expressions. It is a splendid summary, and reaches just conclus- ions such as "Wherever our dead lie they died for one end--the deliver- ance of the world's soul."' Today all that power and glory and dominion have passed like the baseless fabric of a dream. The supermen ofa year ago have sunk to the lowest depths of humiliation." "Today the man who lunged the world into a bath of blood is left in his exile to contem- plate the end of all his crimes.

"Today Galilee has conquered Pots. | dam. In the antithesis moral values are rightly expressed--these conflict- ing ideals are finally determined by | the peace which was signed on Satur- | day. Fora generation Germany rang with the watchword; World-dominion | or downfall. It is hard to believe that | a year ago Germany was still hurling , calamity on the world. Her legions | were across the Marne, only 40 miles | short of Paris; the channel ports were still menaced, and our weary troops were holding a swaying line; to the' east the vast territories of Russia | were bound to her chariot wheels by | a shameful and rapacious treaty; | while to the southeast the might of the Germanic arms had overwhelmed | every opposing force and reached out. to the confines of Persia. The world was invited again and again to look | at the map and say. whether the kai- ser in his shining armor had won! Al- exander, Caesar, Napoleon failed... but I shall succeed," declared the | kaiser 25 years ago and it almost look | ed as if he had. Only a year ago the. Huns discussed the amount of indem- | nities they would impose on a pros- trate world, and they were of one mind; they would bleed their enemies white. | Today all that power and glory and dominion have pased like the baseless fabric of a dream. The supermen of a year ago have sunk to the lowest depths of humiliation. Empires have perished in the past. but they have generally taken cen- turies to die. Decadence always be- gan at the top, but it was only after many generations that the dry-rot reached the man with the spear. The amazing thing is that in the space of one generation emperor and prince and baron and machine-gunner have erumpled up with one dry-rot. It took centuries for Rome to perish, and the last of the emperors passed with dig- nity and honor from St. Sophia to a heroic death. Napoleon hurled his converging foes, conquering and fight ing to the last. But the superman who demanded the whole world for their kultur crumpled up in a day, It was not the ignominy of the terms of the armistice they objected to; it was that they could not get the ignoble peace soon enough.® They still whine over the slowness wherewith they se. cured their shame. They gave over their fleet they surrendered their ar- maments; they 'handed over their shipping; there was no condition too severe for them to submit to so that their territory might escape the de- vastation they inflicted on Belgium and France. The rapidity with which the devotees of world-dominion were | transformed into the suppliants for peace at any price made the world un- easy by its glimpse of the depths to) which humanity can descend. Today ; the man who plunged the world into | a bath of blood is left in his exile to | contemplate the end of all his crimes. | With the rattling sabre he demanded | a place in the sun. And he has got} it. The white beam of history will; light up his infamies and his crimes | forever; a dismembered and well-nigh bankrupt Germany, with never a | foothold left in the sun, is his mon-| ument, If the rapidity with which the Ger- | man empire fell into ruins is unpar- | alleled in history, so also are the} crimes out of which the ruin sprang. Empires have always perished with the slow decay of idealism and the, weakening of the religious and moral sanctions. The German Empire con-| ecentrated into one generation the de-! cadence of centuries, for the German | government willed it so. Every pre- | cept and law that stood in the way of | a German world-dominion was under- mined. The law of love and mercy be- came a new law--"'Become hard, O my brethren, for we are emancipated, and the world belongs to me." It was! because the German nation was, taught that the highest duty was to make the state supreme, that the Ger- man armies set forth on their war of extermination. But every stage in that mareh was a march towards doom. It was inevitably so because Germany, in defying the moral order of the world, marshaled the moral forces of the world against her. To win a speedy victory Germany tram- pled on the truth and invaded Bel- gium. That one crime brought Brit- ain instantly into the war. Without that crime Britain would not have en- tered the fray at once, or, if it did so, it would not have done so unitedly. The crime by which Germany was to have won doomed her to inevitable defeat. The next was the policy of cold-blooded and calculated atrocity by which Germany sought to strike such terror into her foes that they would sue for peace. The kaiser's heart was wrung over the fate of Louvain; but the civilized world set its face like a flint. There began with the destruction of Louvain an Rheims a blockade far more terrible than the blockade of the German ports --even the blockade of the German soul. As crime was added to crime the isolation deepened. When Nurse Cavell was shot, the world experienc- ed that thrill of horror which went through Europe when Napoleon caus- ed the young and innocent Duc d'- Enghien, the last of the Conde, to be shot at Vincennes. That a prince of royal blood should be murdered by Corsican stirred Europe to the depths a centuryago;but thehorror was even greater when the Red Cross was no longer able to protect a woman against the legionaries of Odin. The thunderbolts of Jove no longer blast the blasphemer, but judgment never- theless marches to the predestined end. The mind of the criminal be- comes darkened, and sagacity departs But before that tragedy Germany had, when the Lusitania was torped- oed off Kinsale Head on May '7th, 1915, taken the third great step to- wards her own destruction a step that she completed when, by the policy of unrestricted murder at sea, she arrayed a hundred million Americans against her. On the anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania the terms of her judgment were handed to her.

ENGELAND @ SON '"'The Home of Good Clothes'"' MILVERTON man who brought a great race so low that they applauded the murder of a woman lay at Amerongen awaiting his final doom, It is a drama of divine judgment, unfolded-in the seeing of all the world, whose last scene was en- acted last Saturday. = On such sin and it has begun." The inspiration that carried the Brit- ish empire through the darkest days comes from those very ideals that Germany trampled under foot. When the days of agonies lengthened and calamities befell, the spirit of the na- tion rose triumphant, because it knew that the battle was not for rights but for right. It was the knowledge that the forces of justice and righteous- ness were on their side that sustained our armies abroad and our people at home through four years of misery. It is with proud and thankful hearts that we today think of the men who snatched the world's redemption out of the world's ruin, daring beyond their strength and hazarding against their judgment because their faith was firm that righteousness would prevail. No part of the Empire knows the greatness of the debt we owe our sailors better than we know it here in Scotland. Out of the waters of the Forth and out of Scapa Flow our ships went out day and night ceaselessly; from our ports they went forth to battle, and to them they returned victorious. Under God it is to the sailors we primarily owe the victory. They carried our sol- us for four years, and allowed no en- was borne through England, amid the proud sorrow of a nation, the emy to Jand on these shores save as prisoners. While Scotland cherishes diers on their backs and fed them and , the ideals of freedom and righteous- ness, the one generation will tell the other of the great story of derring- do, how on our waters of the northern seas the soul of the world was saved;, and hearts will kindle when they read how on the day when,the German Fleet surrendered in the Forth every British ship was transformed at sun- set into a sanctuary of prayer, while on the admiral's flagship there rose the hymn of triumph, "Praise my soul the King of Heaven." It is in that spirit that the nation today celebrates the end of the blood and agony. The dead have not died in vain. There is an inscription in an Aegean Isle that runs: "Here lies the servant of God, Rupert Brooke, sub-lieutenant in the English navy, who died for the deliverance of Constantinople from the Turk." Wherever our dead lie they died for one end--the deliver- ance of the world's soul. And that end they have acomplished. The story is told how in the days of Julian the Apostate, a judge asked a Christian mockingly: "What is the carpenter's son doing today?" Quick as thought came the answer: "He is making a coffin for your emperor." If our sons and brothers have died by the million yet not in vain have they died for, dying, they have made a coffin for the world's bloody Caesars. There will be no resurrection hereafter of the belligerent dynast or of the tribal diety. Nothing in the epoch-making treaty of Saturday. will make a great- er appeal to the heart of the world than the fact that the imperial purple will no longer shield imperial crime, and that justice and judgment will at | last be fully vindicated upon the earth. | FURNITURE! ¥ We have a beautiful range of Diningroom Furniture.
