the bolstering up of Turkey in order
‘to maintain a theoretical balance of
grower among the European nations.
Who will attempt to justify the large
expenditures for ships of war and the.
maintenance of standing armies?
These expenditures have been neces-
sary, we must admit, but have they
blot been necessary because there have
‘ “been criminal nations anxious to rob
and loot and murder, the moment the
opportunity presented itself? Our in-
: temational relations have been found-
ed largely upon selfishness and greed.
, manifesting themselves in injustice to
' .1119 weaker nations: and We. should
j thank God that He has demonstrated
.10 us that such a. system cannot stand.
‘. And this should contain a warning:r for

Robertson spoke these prophetic
words: “Brethren, that which is built
I on selfishness cannot stand. The sys-

who have observed the ways of God in

They are intent on getting the largest
V possible wage and the shortest possi~

contented with this; they are deter-
mined to spoil as much material and
kill as much time as possible. This
unrest has grown but of a condition of
this kind. It is a demonstration that
an order of this kind cannot exist. be-
cause Almighty God will not tolerate
such short-sighted selfishness. Oiur
economic order is being shaken to its
very foundations, and, if it falls. as

.ganized labor has accomplished a vast
(amount of gnod in securing better

better pay. But, We must lament the

Iist has not smelled the smoke of bat-

And, last of all. we should be thank-
ful because of the manifestations of,
the vitality of his church. There have]
always been multitudes who have}
found fault with the. church. Voltaire,
is not thepnly one who has predicted,
the death of the church with his ownl
century. Many have proclaimed its‘
death from the house tops—some in}
tones of glee, others with breaking
hearts. No doubt the church is just as i
had. and worse, than her most bitter
enemies proclaim her to be. There are
men in the pulpit. and the pew who
ought to be in prison. and many of
them will, eventually, land there. But.
thanks be to God, if the church is-
worse than her enemies believe her tol
be. she is also infinitely better than
her most earnest devotees have ever
realized. Her strength is not fully
measured by the number who sit in
her pews on Sunday morning. ‘If so,;
it may be true that she is losing heri
vitality. But those who speak of the'
former, when all men went to church”I
fail to take into consideration a uum-i
ber of important things. They do not?
consider that a half century ago men '
might be. drawn to the church broom“
of their love for music, or for the sat-i
isfaction of purely ao'clal desires. or,
because public opinion was a more po- ;
tent factor in stimulating church at-il
tendance than it is now. They fall;
to consider that the advent of cheap'
newspapers.- magazines talking ma-i
chines, telephones. &c.. have obviated»
motives Which doubtless drew many
to the church. After all has been said.
is it really true that the congrega
tions used to be so much larger than
they are now? It is altogether proba-
ble that we remember the large audi-
ences and forget the small ones. But
let us grant that there has been a de-
cided falling off in church attendance
—what does that signify? .If people
used to come to

church has lost in attenda e, she has

These. my dear friends. are a few of
the many things which should cause us
to cease from our labors on this day
and express our thanks to God.
