Victory Os The Victim Shows Way Out For World When Men Accept the Cross Way, All That Is Wrong Will Be Made Right — Some Travel Recollections.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS ~~ Musing upon this lesson theme, I memory harks swiftly back to I I France and to Macedonia and to • | Palestine, where rows upon rows,, I acres upon acres, of little crosses i mark the resting place of the sold- ■' ier dead. By some impulse deeped I than reason, the nations have chos-1 en the cross symbol for the fallen ; of the World War — Protestant I England, once atheistic France, 1 Catholic Italy, Orthodox Serbia} Room an ia and Greece. All accept: the cross as the significant memorial of the men who have laid down their lives for a Cause. Crosses at Mount Sinai Is it not becoming clear that only the cross will save our troubled time? We have tried legislation and arbitration and war and a council of nations; yet still the unrest of humanity grows apace. All that wisdom and law could do has been I done; but in vain. There is knowl- ! edge enough in the world to have I civilization; and law enough; and I material force enough; neverthe- ’ less, organized society is in a desi perate case today. I am reminded of a spectacle which I observed at Mt. Sinai. Sur- ! mounting the Mountain of the Law | and all of the surrounding peaks, are iron crosses, erected centuries I ago by devout Greek monks from ' St. Katherine s Monastery. At pajn i and personal risk they had placed ; I the symbol of our faith upon those | rocky peaks; sensing the great i truth that the Mountain of the j Law. without the sign of Love and Sacrifice, is incomplete. Moses is ! inadequate, except as he leads to j Christ. Mount Sinai is bare and I barren; Mount Calvary blossoms I with flowers. Panicky persons arc crying for I more laws, more force, more machine guns, with which to meet the menace of red radicalism. Their plan is futile. Only a new spirit in society, and in all classes of society can save us from this hate-bearing programme of violence. That is the spirit of the Cross. 1 Os course, we should deal vigorousI ly with lawbreakers, with all law- | breakers, regardless of class; but I even when so doing the motive I needs to be the motive of Calvary, which is to save. Love to the point i of self-sacrifice alone can delivet I the world from the menace of bit- | terness and selfishness and vinI dictlveness and class-spirit. The Unchastened Nations Real radicalism is, in a dictionary i sense, the getting down to the root of things. The superficial thinking of the Bolsheviks is not genuine radicalism; it is the most obvious and shallow sort of unrestrained self-interest. If the thinking people of today would real y turn radical they would quickly perceive that at the root of a successful social order, even as it was put at the foundation of our con stitutional democracy, there must | be the spirit of good will to men. I and of the individual for the sake digs deep until it comes to the cross foundation. i Apply that test to the times. The 'common cry is that the word needs to be reformed. . And to be remade. Yes. And to be re-led. Doubtless. And to be re I orgaized. Admittedly. And to be ie- | educated. Without Quo sti °". . But beyond all these needs, and underlying them every one is th all-pervading need that the wo id he saved—saved from itself and its ' old self-centered nature, which the ~,-eachers call 81 “= 9 ‘ Ved r 2°“ me « i.h leaders and fatuous refoimers. saved from theorists and demftB °’ Arnes- saved from the heedless fol : lowe rs of everything that is new.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, JUNE 11,1938.

I have failed to save ourselves: why not let the Christ save us? His yearning for the world's betterI ment is more real than that of the I most solicitious publicist. If we l could hut hear, He still is crying ■ from His Cross, “Coine unto Me, ! all ye that labor and are heavy ! laden, and 1 will give you rest.” The Master Word The master word for our troub- ' led today is the Master's word. In , front of a time that is engrossed j i the pursuit of more money, more leisure, new pleasures, fresh sensations, trivial and prideful gratifications, He holds up the Cross upon which He was upholden. “I, if ' I be lifted up, will draw all men unto me." The new level of life we seek is the Cross-level, ins salvation from sin that is a more pressing need of the land today that the need for lower prices or for greater production or for social and industrial peace. Once let the | world come to the foot of the Cross and everything, yes, literally ev-. erything. that ails our sickly time I will be healed straightway. To save the world It is necessary to save the people in the world. 1 And when they are saved from sin i they will be saved from everything ■ that is the matter with our day. i ' The broken heart of the Saviour will break the proud and stubborn and wilful hearts of all of us who I are hurting our generation. His I I vast love will drown our miserable selfishness. What saith the Scripj ture? “He died for all that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto Him who for their sakes died and rose again." SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS A’ complain o’ want o' siller; nane o’ want o' sense. —Scotch Proverb. * • * We draw near to God as we draw near to men. —Henry Churchhill King. • • * A libertine life ie not a life of liberty.—Old Proverb. “That man may last, but never lives Who much receives, but never gives. Gibbin. * « * I have been young, and now am old, yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. —Psalm 37:25. * • • A good thing to remember, And a better thing to do, Is to work with the construction gang, And not the wrecking crew. —Churchman. ♦ • ♦ Much as worthy friends add to the happiness and value of life we must in the main depend upon our selves, and every one is his own best Triend, or worst enemy. Lord Avebury.

SEEK PASSAGE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE? ONE) in conference was: Wage-hous — conferees, for the third successive day, will meet to reach a "final" agreement. Recovery attar working out an understanding on their three points of disagreement, conferees adjourned until Monday. The senate struck from the $3,723,000,000 lending-spending bill an amendment requiring the WPA to apportion its $1,425,000,000 so as to make sure it will last until March 1, 1939. It was indicated the principle of this amendment will be retained but the president wuold be given power in an emergency to spend the sum in seven months instead of eight. This, in effect, would give him $175,000,000 more for relief. Two other points of disagreemen were a $300,000,000 housing authorization and a $212,000,000 appropriation for farm parity price payments. It was indicated that these would go back to the house for separate votes. o MONROE NEWS I Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Fricke and family left Monday for Indianapolis where they will reside.
