Pro-; foundest philosophy is so elemental and clear that to the unlettered it seems like the plainest of good sense. The really big factors in this war are well within the understanding of the j most ordinary man or woman. Jesus hardly seems like the other philoso-i phers, with their big words and hair splitting subleties. yet He is admit tedly the master of them all. His great gift for laying bare thrs elements- and essentials of life ,',s needed now, as almost never before. We should sit close to Him. at His feet, to learn what is wrong with our world in these mad days, and how the wrong may be made right. E.very issue of almost every publication in existence teems with discussions of the war. in some of its phases; but most of the articles leave us as un informed as an official military -com munique. And there is an astonish ing lack of clear dealing with the character of the measures that must be taken to lead us out of this tangled jungle, after the war has been won. What was wrong with Germany, that she. above all other Rations, sinned the sin that precipitated this cataclysm? "Militarism, v/e make glib answer. But that is not a cause but an effect. 'Prussianise i, and "kaisorism." come other- replies. Same thing; they are brut conse quences. "Materialism. Is the sug gestion of another; and thjU is near er right, but the word ita;lf is book talk. In the speech of °X. ery what is materialism and what is its origin? Ah; now we nre getting there. Materialism is tbia love and cultivation of things, raJher than of spirit. It is born of oummon, oia fashion, Garden-of-Edoi It was simply the spirit of Number HAMUSBURQ CHUBS' TELEGRAPH One" that set Germany off on this world-upsetting, heaven-defy ing rampage. Number One or Number Two? Recently I heard a brilliant Scotch- American chaplain in the British army, the Rev. Dr. John Robertson, deliver a sermon on the soldier spirit in the Shepherd Psalm: and he stressed this thought of letting the Lord go first, or as Number One, and falling into step behind Him, as Number Two. It is when a man wants to be Number One himself, and tries to Ahrust God and God's laws into second place, that things go wrong. Civilization is out of gear to-day be cause the divine order was reversed. The supremacy of the Eternal and of His laws was challenged, and chaos ensued. Now the fruits of self will are ob vious—pride, lust, greed, cruelty, avarice, oppression and irreverence. Let human nature go its own way and lt*wlll go to the devil. We need scarcely marvel at German atroci ties; there are no limits to unreined selfishness. If we had the German viewpoint, and the German state of mind, we might do the same things. Recently Mr. Kipling made an ad dress at the opening of a Y. M. C. A. hut in England, in the course of which he said: Kipling on the Devi "We have been a long time over our present job, and we may be a long time yet. It has been a little bigger than we expected, because this is the first time since the creation that all the world has been obliged to unite to crush the devtk You re member that before the war one of our easy theories was that the devil was almost extinct, that he was only the child of misfortune or accident, and that we should soon abolish him by passing ringing resolutions against him. That has proved an expensive miscalculation. We find now that the devil is very much alive, and very much what he al ways was—immensely Industrious, a born organizer, and better at quoting Scripture for his own ends than most honest men. His industry and or ganization we can all deal with, but more difficult to handle is his habit of quoting Sciiptur. as soon as he is in difficulties. When Germany be gins to realize that her defeat is cer tain, we shall be urged, in the name of mercy, toleration, loving kindness, for the sake of the future of man kind. or by similar appeals to the i inextinguishable vajnlty of man. who 1 delights in thinking himself holy and ! righteous, when he is really only lazy and tired —I say we shall be f urged on those high grounds to make i some sort of compromise with, or to j extend some recognition to, tfie Power which has for its one object the destruction of man, body and soul." Roots of Rrltht and Wrong Does all this seem a bit removed from the present Sunday school les son? Far from it. That we should have a clear view of the essential principle involved in a lesson is far more important than that we should have a verse-by-verse exposition of the text which might miss the theme in its bigness. And our lesson to ; day. which all the wide world of Sunday schools is studying, deals with the fruits of the Christian life; and by contrast, with the fruits of the un-Christlan life. This latter, as Mr. Kipling points out, is born of the devil, and of the spirit which puts self in the place of Number One. At present, civilization is engaged in a rrfighty struggle to get things re established in right relationships, sp that God and His unchanging truth j may have the right of way with | mankind. "Righteousness" is a big word that j has found new popularity in the vo | cabulary of the race. We have nail ed it aloft as a flag for which 'fce j tight. Nations have solemnly cov ' enanted with one another to pursue l it after the enemy of all right has t been brought to his knees. Confer ences are and articles and books being written about the best means of securing the reign of right | eousness. after the war. Most of this discussion, though, seems to be mlss i ing the point that righteousness is j not'a fruit that can be tied on the tree of human life, as cotton peaches are tied on the wire branches of the , imitation trees in the roof gardens. , In a word, we have thought a great . deal about the fruitage of the world's 1 new day, but not enough about the i rootage. Just as surely as given causes ! proAice given effects, and that seed j bring forth fruit after their kind, so j sure is it that the blessings of peace j cannot be made certain unless the i new spirit of peace and righteous | ne3s and brotherhood, the Spirit of I Christ, be the root of the new order. There is no hope for a transformed | world except in transformed hearts, j Only a better nature for individual men and women can produce a bet ter life for all men and women. Why the Peaches Failed When I returned from France this spring, the fruit trees in my litte i garden were blossoming beautifully; | ; and nothing that I had seen of all the wonderful arborculture of France ) seemed as beautiful as these few | trees of my own, which I had plant j cd. The peach blossoms were para- I disal in their pink perfection. Day |by day I watched the flowers give | way to the green pellets of Incipient I fruit and these grew until they were | almost of full size. Then, suddenly, I the tree began to languish, and its I leaves to grow yellow. The unripe | peaches began to fall to the ground, and those that remained took on pre maturely the color of ripeness ere ; they, too, fell to the ground. It was very distressing to the home-return j ing householder. One day a neighbor I saw the tree. "Man. your peach tree i has borers. Have you looked to the bark, down at the root?" Too late, I I dug down and found the worms | beneath tbe soil that had cut into ; the bark and ruined my peach tree. Of course I should have known better. Just as all of us who are marring the beauty and fruitfulness and purpose of our life should know that it is the secret, hidden worm of sin that is spoiling everything. We are as foolish as the women who re sort to cosmetics instead of to exer cise and proper food to put color in to their cheeks. Now that I turn my syes daily to the questions of world reconstruction. I am reminded to look,well to the roots. Fruitage de pends upon rootage. What is in the heart comes out on the life. German philosophy of pride and selfishness cannot help producing German con duct. Christian principles and pur poses alone can produce those vir tues which we simply must have if this war is not to have been In vain. The Test For Religion With a clear-headedness that is not often enough commented upon, Jesus had a way of going straight to the cause of things. He said "By their fruits shall ye know them." Hie frequent figures of the tree (though, strangely, they are not assigned for this lesson) set forth His logic. He frankly declared that He did not teet His disciples by their words, but by the kinds of deeds they did. And His great apostle, following the Master's example, declared that anybody might distinguish between those who bore Spirit-fruits. Not all the pious talk in the world can prove us spir itual. unless we are bearing the defi nitely tabulated fruits .of the Spirit. Paul catalogs the two kinds of fruits, beyond all mistaking. I quote from the Moftatt translation: "How the deeds of the flesh are quite obvious, such as sexual vice, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, magic, quarrels, dissensions. Jealousy, tem per. rivalry, factions, party-spirit, envy (which is murder), drinking bouts, revelry, and the like: I tell you beforehand, as I have told you already, that people who indulge in such practices will never inherit the Realm of God. But the harvest of the Spirit is lpve, joy, peace, good temper, kindliness, generosity, fidel ity, gentleness, self-control: —there is no law against those who practice such things." Jesus himself, in the platform of His Kingdom, laid down the princi ples which are likewise fruits of His Spirit: the poor in spirit, they that mourn, the meek, they which do hunger and thirst after righteous ness, the merciful, the pure iri heaj-t, the peacemakers—these are the ones, whom He designates as blessed. A Clarion Call to the Churches If there is any big truth within! this lesson it is that the only kind | of world which will come up to the new specifications for human society! is one which manifests the traits stipulated by Jesus. In other words, people, to be worth living with, and to be safe neighbors, must manifest the fruits of the Spirit of Christ. We cannot any longer stand, even in modified degree, the fruits of the spirit of selfishness and German ma terialism. Persons who regard them selves as Nunfber One, and God and the rest of the world as Number Two, are not only second-rate be ings: they are impossible members of the commonwealth of democracy. Plainly, if we are to have the fruits of the Spirit from people we shall have to have the root of the Spirit in people. That makes clear the supreme task of the Church. She must be the means of divinely vital* izlng the roots of society. Only a converted world can be a safe world. The new mind among men that is to DISTINCTIVE FALL DRESSES Second afreet Cor.

She has great obliga tions in the way of administrative internal reorganization, but all of these are but incidental to the pri mary business of an unprecedented spiritual "drive," to introduce all mankind, at home and abroad, to the Saviour whose Spirit makes all of life new.
