After All, “It’s Up To You To Straighten World Askew U We •Ut George Do It,” Then It Will Not Be Done—All Social Problems, Including Intemperance, Root Back to Individual.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS last night I dined with a friend I I who has retired into active cruaad- 1 ln< in America, after forty year* of busy service as an Kpiscopal , bishop in China Naturally, we talked nf the outlook in the y\r , East. He wa» entirely optimistic ' about China's future. '“I fee) far | mon- wmcerned for Japan (han for , China." he said. Evidently he was thinking in terms of personal and spiritual 1 values and not of military prosed- i ure The blabop expressed deep I sympathy for Japan's Christians and more Idealistic leaders. He, who had often been bombed by Japanese airplanes, goes much farther tn tolerance than most of us. For he sees the entire situation as iowe affecting the spirits of the peo pie concerned Instead of '‘problems. of this or that, he sees human beings, with their souls either growing or shrivelling. Our talk brought dramatically to me a fresh realisation that these ' vast problems whirh go to make Jup the world's present crisis all I root down Into the Individual I heart. This week's quarterly tempprance Lesson for Instance, is assigned as "O social aspect of the liquor problem." But It la really a challenge to the Individual. So Is the Industrial issue; so Is world peace: so Is political so Is social! security. All these are primarily and ultimately questions confronting each one of us separately, and challenging us to do our part. Standing Us in a Corner World conditions and world I thought are i-onapiring to stand i every one of us up in a corner, as |if we alone personally were concerned. The ac< uUMig tflngt-r of jevuts says. "Tehoh art the man." I Once our <*onscionc<-a are awakenI ed. we begin to examine our own ; I manner of like and our own con- ■ j trolling spirit. Why talk about | ; peace In the world when there Is, , not peace in our own home life?! 1 What boots It to rail at predatory . powers, if we ourselves are selfish 1 and grasping and greedy? Why dream of alliances of nations when we cannot agree with our own neighbors? la there any sennw In discussing the bquor problem with a cocktail glass In our hand? (It fa rather a short, swift step from a personal < hange to a world I change. Dr. Frank lluchman puts I' It thus tersely: "Suppose cvet-y-1 lardy cared enough, everybody shar-! ed enough wouldn't everybody | have enough? There is enough ln ! I the world for every one's need, but I : not enough fur everyonea greed " Everybody agr»-ea that aotnelHidy should do something about what la I i wrong with the world. Well, that | somebody is you and I. Each and i evry one of us There would bo! I n<> liquor problem If each of us put aside strong drink, as unworthy of out use We have num- ImI portant things tn thiuk about than I the titillation <rt our palates, or l«he false glow which alcohol imparts tn the hraln Engrossad in ths Second-Rate My bishop friend, fresh from the ; life and death environment of China. la perturbed over the trivial j mlnd'ultiesk nf hla America. He la bewildered by the anovle-tnnod. the | comic-atrip mood, the jitterbug mood, the Imauly shop mood, the sports pages mood of the people ; He says that nobody seems to be really awake to what Is gohig on | in the world. Canadit and the Unit- ! nd States have had no such desperate experience us came to Great Britain last September. We have ' not had lo face gas maska. or to | burrow In from he* or to sign up | for Air Raid Protection tasks. I in I for that the bishop lu'llevea It l would be well for us lo share some ' such experience, to slab our spirits broud awake. Georgia E. Harkness has written n poem. "The Agony of God. ' that tiuikea thia |u>lnt dramatically. •'1 Halen to the agony of God — I who am fed. Who never yet went hungry for a day.

1"1 listen to the agony of God—• I who am warm. Who never yet haw lucked a sheltering homo. In dull alarm The dlapoaaeswd of hut and farm Aimless and “transient" roam. , ‘‘l listen to the agony of God— I who am strong. i With health, and love, and laughter In my soul. I see a throng Os stunted children reared In wrong And wish to make them whole. "I listen to the agony of GodHut know full well That not until I share their bitter cry— Earth's pain and hell— Can (Mid within my spirit dwell To bring His kingdom nigh." From some source—perhaps even a Sunday School Lesson—the I thunder must come that will awaken at least the Christian multitudes of us to the old. old truth that our social and political salvation are ultimately up to the individual. This old world Is only an aggregation of units. Suppose each person who has been to the Cross re- ; turns to live, in home and office and shop and school, a life of sincerity. purity, unselfishness aud ■ love? How quickly the wrinkles ou our faces and on our hearts would' | be smoothed out, aud the doctors i would lose their "nervous proatraI tlon" cases. The saloons and cocktail bars would dry up for lack of patronage; (he gambling houses would go out of business; and the ! froth, or scum, that passes for eni tertainment would be blown away. Instead of the prevalent shallowI uess and triviality, life would take ou a new depth and tranquility I aud altruism. Ths Great Goal Somehow, most of us seem uu- < able to grasp the great truth that God plaus better lives for us than , we desire for ourselves. All of us 1 are mentally and physically and spiritually below par. If we were "in lune with the Infinite." if we were yielded lo and wielded by the Great Power of the living God. we should soon find life "something grander than ever we knew." If God guided, God-guarded and Godgirded, we should find ourselves member of oue another, and tueiu- | bera of God. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS The call of religion Is not to be ■ bettor than your fellows, but to be better than yourself.—llcltiy Ward I Beecher. • • • . If our visions make us vain, they ! are false tires that lure us into the hottdnleua bog!—Joseph Fort Newton. • • • ! They do me wrong who say I come no more When once I knock and fail to find you in: % For every day I stand outside your idoor And bid you wake, aud rise to light to win- - Walter Malone. We owe our growth chiefly lo that active striving of the will, that encounter with difficulty, which we cull effort. — Samuel Ktniles. • • • This is the victory that hath ovcrcomi) the world, avoa our faith. —I John 6:4. • • • Build a little feiicu of trust Around today; Fill Its space with loving work And Ihcreiu stay; Peer not through tho sheltering .bars At tomorrow; God will help thee bear what comes Os joy or sorrow. > Mary F.
