| War's Graves and I World's Hope !> *The International Sunday School lesson For September 14 la, "The ji Future Lire."—Matt. 25:31-I#. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS For half a year I seem to have been moving among graves—Amer ican graves on the edge of the Bel leau Wood: forests of French and British and and German grave markers in the teFrible devas tated region of France! fever-fllled graves in Salonica' and graves of Australians and British soldiers on the Mount of Olives. The hillsides east of Jerusalem ere covered with the graves of devout Jews. For tnoro than two months I dwelt in Egypt, th<- land of graves; and I have gore again to the traditional Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Even If I wculd I could not confine my present thinking only to the prob lems of the living. Most soldier graves are marked with crosses. Some deep religious Instinct has expressed itself through all the armies, so that above the fallen is placed the symbol of sacri fice and of victory over death. Ev ery cross-crowned grave seems to echo the message of the Saviour who lied that man might live again— Lift off Corns! Doesn't hurt a bit and Freezone costs only a few cents. With your finger! You can lift oft any hard corn, soft corn, or corn be tween the toes, and the hard skin calluses from bottom of feet. A tiny bottle of "Freezone" costs little at any drug store; apply a few drops upon the corn or callus. In stantly it stops hurting, then shortly you lift that bothersome corn or callus r'ght off, root and all, with out one bit of pain or soreness, truly! No humbug! STOP THAT COLD! *ure relief us TOO sleep. Medication muomatimlly adminis tered an you breathe. See Man-Heil Inhaler. Ask Demonstrator.

The faith that underlies all Chris tian creeds has given its testimony by the graves of our fallen heroes. Once I participated in a battle bur ial in France, conducted pointly by Catholic and Protestant clergymen, both French and American, with Y. 51. O. A. men in reserve. When we stand by the grave we are one in our deepest conviction that the hope of immortality is best expressed by the cross of Christ. Ia Grnve The Knd of the Roadf War and influenza have sown the earth with graves as perhaps never before within so short a period of time. Alas, many bereaved hearts seo only a question mark at the head of the graves, and miss the cross. That is why current itera ture abounds in discussions of the old. old question of immortality Newspapers echo the cry of the stricken mourners for "The touch of a vanished hand. And the sound of a voice that is still." Spiritualism has newly emerged as a cult which at least gets wide pub licity, even if it does not secure a great following. Lonely souls covet some reassurance from their dear I dead. \ In his new book of poems, "The j Years Between," which contains more than one heart-broken cry j from the poet-father bereaved of his only son, Mr.. Kipling deals with spirttua'ism in a poem called "En Dor," the conclusion of which is "Oh the road to En-dor is the oldest road - And the craziest road of all! Straight It runs to the Witch's abode As it did ig the days of Saul, And nothing has changed of the sorrow in store For such as $o down on the road to En-dor!' ; In his new book Mr. Kipling's faith | sound 3 a clearer, simpler note than ! may be found in his earlier worlt; the great hour of humanity has driv en bin-, into the arms of the Heaven ly Father who gave his only Son for the Sacred Cause. He is one of the mighty host who have emerged from the suppeme ordeal with tear-washed eyes which see the grave the eternal life in the presence of God. Wrr'i Greatest Victory- If Christendom not In its spirit won a victory over the fear of death, then victory by arms means little. 1 never met or heard of a battle-fleld soldier who did not believe in im mortality. That gr;at experience of sutrenderit g the body to danger or t'eatli seamed t|> clarify and simplify men's Judgments. The mighty and eternal things loomed large; the petty an* (Xer-sophistleated trlvall ties of our time simply seemed non existent. Life has for us a fuller destiny than preoccupation In mere things. In the face of the material engross ments which now threaten us like a flood we need to hold fast to the everlasting truth that "It Is not all of life to live. Nor all of death to die." Grief needs more than diversion; It calls for comfort. Ambition cannot really be satisfied with automobiles I and luxuries. Labor will not be con lent to accept merely higher wages as the reward of its vital expendi ture. Cheaper food and other neces- will rot meet the ultimate needs of the pocple. Political and economic reconstruction do not ful- j fill tha longings of the universal heart. j In a ward, people today want high- I er satisfactions than commonly held out to them. In our sacrifices and services for the prosecution of the war we reached a lofty level of life; discovered new capacities In our selves; got glimpses of the glory possible to our own souls. Now we covet more of the same. We would i breathe always the air of that ele- I vated plar.e of living which seemed j to prove us to the sons and daugh | ters of Immortality. The Great Hope. i It was easy td believe In brother j hood while sharing the comradeship :of the army in Prance. Altruism ! seemed normal as we toiled at home |in the holy cause of patriotism, i Standing on that level, why may we | not look still higher and realize that | God's plan for human souls is just j this exalted and purified spirit of I life, which is ever discovering and i practicing ' new and noble inner re i sources? God's revealed thought for j man is that he shall live always, in j ever-increasing degree, by these | heavenly standards, i Humanity's capacity for soul- I greatness, as proved by the war, is | only one of the things which "eye : hath not seen, nor ear heard" which i God has prepared for those who love I Him. ) Right at this poiftt I was inter rupted in the writing of this arti ! ele; and in the three hours that have intervened I have heard from two friends upon the very theme, of the lesson. One, a minister told of his presence at an operation upon the little daughter of a parishioner, a I chfld of arrested growth. The op- I eration was successful. Upon com ing out of the anesthetic the child saw her father and as she reached forth her arms she heard the sweet words, "Now you are to grow up to be big." That, said the preacher, is like death; a brief period of un consciousness: seme wonderful transformation by the Good Physi cian, and then the arms of the Fath er, and new and glorious growth into I fullest possibilities. Immortality is j the highest hope of the human heart. Two Fathers And One Experience My other friend, a physician, was trying to explain the tragic trans formation in the character of a man | we both knew; and we agreed that a personal bereavement has left him embittered and hcpeless. "There were the two men," he mused, the As and the Bs; each lost a beloved and noble child at about the same I time. A- was rebellious and uncom | forted; he never speaks of his child, i apparently, even in his own family; | and has turned to a pagan stoicism ,to see him through his ordeal. But , his grief has taken the sweetness i and hope and progress out of his I life. I "On the other hand, B-, whose be | reavement was by its circumstances ; the more tragic, bowed sweetly in | resignation to what his religion I taught him was Ote will of God. He !speaks freely about his son, and is j confident that he will meet him 'again in another life, wherein all the i promise of power in his boy will be fulfilled. His character has been en riched by faith in God and immor tality.' - - - The second men hae drawn the sting; from thla mortal life because he haa learned th a reality of Qod, the reality of love, and the reality of eternity. He knowa how to live for two worlda. People are pulsing with a pas sion for a perfect political program: everybody wants to make over this " The Live Store" "Be Sure of Your Store" / TOMORROW THE BIG HAT DAY \ 1 Sunday you'll want to wear your new Fall fm |l "Stetson" Hat or "Mallory" Velour.

This means that the leaven of the teachings of Jesua la working among men. But there Is need of a warning here! Reconstruction Is not going to bring perfection. Plans that end at the grave are inadequate for immortal spirits. Let us do the best we can with time; but let us not be BO foolish as to forget eter nity. Back in the twelfth century a Christian monk named Bernard wrote' a Latin hymn, beginning: "Jerusalem the golden. With milk and honey blest! Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest. I know not, O I know not, What Joys await us there; What radiancy of glory. What bliss beyond compare." That hymn ever since has ex pressed the ardor of devout souls for the "Land o' the Leal." For, as man is more than beast, he has with in his breast an unquenchable hope for reunion with loved ones; for the presence of his Redeemer, who has shown us a clear path through the grave to glory; for a beautiful life of perfect freedom and perfect right eousness, wherein all wrongs are ! lighted and all shortcomings made up; wherein the souls of men end women come to their fullest power in the clear presence of God, who made ua for himself. This is the consummation of the message of "our Saviour Jesua Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immoitality to light through the gospel." 15
