The vaslness of the problem, as the newspapers painted it, appalled people and threw them into a soil of panic. Of several hundred thousand men and women who have been engaged in war work, it wiit be necessary to find new jobs for only about 200,000. If the 500,000 men who enlisted in the Canadian army, only 275,Q00 are in active service. These soldiers make a total of 47 5,- 000 people to be reabsorbed into industry. In the four yesirs Immediately prior to the war, iiom 1911 to 1914, the annual immigration to Canada amounted to 260,000 peo ple. These were readily absorbed into the industry of the nation. If Canada could absorb 300,000 peo ple a year before the war, it will have no difficulty, it is argued, in the year and a half, the time it probably will lake to complete de mobilization, to absoro 473,000 peo ple who will merely be returning to their former homes and occu pations. When War Vindicated Right The International Sunday School Lesson For February 10, Is "The Ten* Commandments."— Exodus 20:1-17. I$Y WILLIAM T. ELLIS New and "advanced" 'thought and (isms are rampant to-day, some of j them being more concerned with the [color,of the efforescence of a per son's soul than with his conduct as la citizen and neighbor; more zeal ! ous that he should have aesthetic j emotions than that he should pay I his frocer's bill. Contrariwise, the ! old-fashioned Decalogue faces the I hard facts of every-day world condi- I tions and of human nature. Hie. I Commandments not only lay down | mdn's obligation to tlio Supreme Be ing. but they also take for granted ; that people must live together; that 'the hermit life is not normal; and j that, since men and women have got to live in the society of one an other, they must squarely confront ! and deal with problems that arise out of these relationships. ,i In a word, these Commandments are not a prescription for P r ® ac }?® rs ' but a program for plain people, iney assume that everybody should live his own life at the best —and give his neighbor a chance to do tne same. The law postulates personai i ity; it never intended that one should i efface his identity in the shapeless, colorless, goody-goodiness whicn ! sometimes mistaken for virtue. A man possessed by a single big ' idea is a far greater force than one (who holds to many petty notions, A I great conception makes a life great. I The person who has one dominant I purpose outstrips all others in life s ! race. "Believe something • tremen dously" is good advice for tire >'° u .nS; I There is a deep principle underlying the-simple fact that when Jehovah I got Israel face to face with himseir, I for the purpose of laying down th supreme law. he should put first the truth of his own existence and cnai- JC ln a hundred wavs ibis busy | world of to-day is being made aw are of the truth that there is a God, and i that he is a God of justice, as well as of mercy. There lias been a ten- I dency among "practical men to re ! gard God as a soft, uncaring spil it. [not greatly dissimilar-from the bit !of jellv which certain scientists would substitute for an i Creator. By the ordeal of battle :we have learned that the I ®® ' law of God is more important than I the tranquility or prosperity or even ! the very existence of individuals and i " '"When a person gets o*it of mcnt with this big cardinal truth i he quickly finds himself askew vv ith I respect to the common moralities. ! Keep central the truth with respect to God,-and life mar radiate far in every direction. Every y ®® l '. j , legislatures and parliaments of civH ization are adding hundreds of new laws to society's codes: but the real ! need is not for laws, hut for a clear • cr perception of man's ° the eternal, self-existent. a ""™®' I all-powerful and all-preyading Cre ator. who is also Father of the [human family and its supreme Lan 18iVeSpirlttial." But Nft Moral I No good officer coddles his sol i dicrs: no able executive secures effi ciency by surrendering his on authority. Tf there be a Supreme Being, with a right lo lav dovvn laws for mankind, them he must be su preme indeed; and the first . mnndment Is seen to "Thou shalt have no other gods oe A"V HXhjusbtjrg TTTT TOR3LPBg fore me." If Jehovah be God, lie must command the prerogatives of the solitary, supreme Deity. No thinking man would.care to worship a god who did less. Nobody doubts this. Real infidel ity is rare. The dangerous, wide spread and subtle practical infidel ity is this, howeveu: It assents to God's godship, and this disregards him. Now a God believed, but dis obeyed, may or may not visit pun ishment hereafter, but he certainly works, moral disaster to the charac ter of the individual. Hypocrisy is the deadliest sin, for it atrophies the soul. Better an honest, heaven-de fying atheist than a professing Christian deliberately living a life at variance with the moral law. A wholesome revolt against this sort of sinning, especially in high places, is sweeping over the world. Thy cry of one analyst, "Too many men a.r& spiritual who arc not moral" is commanding serious thought.. Society increasingly per ceives the incongruity of such not uncommon spectacles as one I myself have witnessed: A famous churchman's name cheered in an eeelesiasticcal gathering, but actu ally hissed by his own employes The lias aroused all mankind to the Winviction that righteousness must come first. Ueeause Jehovah is not a little god, hut the Great God, deserving and desiring direct worship and allegiance, and jealous of aught that would come between him and the hearts of his people, his tinger wrote on the stony tablet the second great Commandment. "Thou shalt not make upon thee a graven image, nor the likeness of any form that is jn heaven above, or that is in the eurtli beneath, or that is in the water un der the earth; thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them nor serve them: for 1 the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities or the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate lie; and showing mercy untcv thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments." I That is spoken like a God sure of; : himself and his rights, and one ofi all-embracing vision and largo pur- j voses. Whoever stoops to idolatry—• be it idolatry of the golden object of worship is bound to have a ! reckoning with the Almighty, who is beyond nil power of representa | lion, and who will share his throne I with none. "Religious" I'rofanity In the army theie has been a | great deal of profanity; most of it ; thoughtless and not intentionally I irreverent, but profanity none the I less. A thinking man lias no need] to swear; he ha 3 a vocabulary of l definite, meaningful and appropriate j words. He is able to his own thought, in all the intended j shades, without borrowing from the! battered and street-worn speech of I the tough and rowdy. Profanity is more than immoral; it is vulgar and; ineffective. It is not the blustering man that swears who impresses his ideas upon the world or makes! things move: it is the quiet self respecting man of ideas, who chooses words as a mechanic chooses iools, each fit for its own special task. j If the man of the street is hit by this third Commandment, scarcely less is the man of the prayer meet ing. SsSys Bishop Chadwick: "The name of God ... is abused when the insincere and hollow professor Joins in the most solemn act of wor ship, honors Him with the lips when the heart is far from Him—nay, when one strives to reclaim his fel j low sinner by the use of good and holy phrases in which his own belief i is merely theoretical." Quite as cutting Is this further ' extract from the same meaty writer: I "There is a large and powerfut I school of religion in our own day. i whose disciples talk much more of .their own emotions and their own ' souls than St. Paul did, and much i less about God and Christ. Some I day the properties will he restored." j There is a profanity that is born of I religiosity as truly as profanity 1 which springs from unthinking lr ! reverence; both alike violatfe the | third Commandment. Neither his '■ friends nor his foes may trifle with [ Jehovah's majesty. Woman's Eyes Burned Out by the Germans Camp Dix. Wriglitstown, N. J., Feb. 14.—Concrete evidence of Ger man atrocities is being brought back to America by Philadelphia survi vors of the Seventy-sixth Field Ar tillery, several of whom have reach ed hospitals at Camp Dix. "An aged woman with the fingers I of both hands cleaved off was one of the first, to greet us when we got into a little village near St. Mihiel." says Corporal llarry F. Blaker, 6027 Rising Sun avenue, Philadelphia, in telling to-day of the experiences of the Philadelphia boys in Battery C of the Sevenlysixth Field Artillery. "We afterwards learned from an in terpreter that when the Germans first came to her town, and made prisoners and virtual slaves of all the women from ten to sixty years of age, this woman tried to escape. She was recaptured and the guards were ordered to Cut off her fingers as a warning tc other women. I saw Rome children whofce hands been i hacked off for punishment. "The wrost case of all, however, was that of the wife of a French colonel. She was supposed by the Germans to certain army se crets in her possession. They tor tured her to try to make her tell what she knew, but she would re veal nothing. Finally the brutes held white-hot irons in front of her eyes until her sight was destroyed, but through it all she remained loyal to her country." Escapes German Prison on Day of Armistice Philadelphia, Feb. 14. Private Henry Simons, of this place, Com pany M, 109 th Infantry, a unit of the famous Iron Division, made his escape from a German prison camp the day the armistice was signed. During the hot fighting along the Marne Simons was captured and sent to a German camp at Rangen 'salza. east of Berlin. While a pris oner there, he was stritken and re moved to the camp hospital. "The prisoners," he writes, "were employed in tilling the Jlelds and working in salt mines and factories near the camp." While he was in the German camp his American uniform was taken from him apd he was given an English uniform in its place. Commission on . Reparation Meets llirls.
