(Continued from Page 4) the majority of Its principles could be. and will be, applied throughout the. world. Moreover, unless we of this country have a viewpoint that Is absolutely wrong, the Great Light will -eventually obtain in and shine around the globe from America. Americans think, and doubtless the far-seeing of other nations think, the song, "As Goes America, So Goes the World," a prophesy that will be literally fulfilled. Gigantic Klan Possibilities We shall not here enter Into detailed discussion of Klankraft Influences upon individual lives and homes this may be taken for granted, because anyone knows that righteous principles benefit all whom they touch. However, reference to some of the major possibilities ( "probabilities" might be the more expressive term, for the Klan has already begun the accomplishment of fundamental tasks) may be of aid In our effort to grasp the meaning of the great, rapidly-growing-body of which, as individuals, we are part. Partyism in politics has long hindered our national progress. The Klans educational program is already modifying this deplorable condition, and the signs are that before many years pass the real citizen of our great country, no matter where he resides, will regard himself as an American first and a Pemoerat, Republican or something else second. Puring the world war-' we abolished the hyphen so far as It fe lated to national descent. We took the position for all time that "German-American." for example, is a misnomer. Likewise, we are rapidly approaching the day when it will not be popular for people to call themselves "Methodist-Americans," "Baptist - Americans." "CatholicAmericans. " etc. Why. he content until Americanism in speech and sentiment obtains nil along the 1 ne? There should be no Republican-Americans, Pern ocra tic-Americans, Socialist-Americans. Some things can be fixed by turning them around for example, "AmericanPemocrats," "American -Republicans." "When America comes first, partyism will vanish. Anil when partyism disappears, the constitution will come Into its own. Klankraft applied will produce fullorbed Americanism. Klankraft proclaimed and lived by a million people would destroy sectarianism and unite the Protestant Christians in America within a couple of decades. Tlie million; enrolled and enrolling in the Klan if they get the vision, and they will are as certain to abolish sectarian bitterness in this Country as it Is certain that light dispels" darkness. Tiie average fraternal organization is. to a 'considerable extent, shorn of its power lor good by its inactivity. The Klan is so constructed that inactivity would mean its decease in any community. It must keep going and in its routine of living it takes the principles of the better class of lodges out of the abstract and puts them into the concrete it is operative, not speculative. The Klan's activity will become contagious, and it is not presumption to forecast increasing service all along the fraternal line within the near futur.e. The foregoing brief analysis predicts that the Reformation, having taken unto itself this great, diversified, expanding body, is about to inter upon an era of far-reaching achievement nor elo we think the irediction In any way unsound. The Klan in principle, plan of organization and scope of activity Is, beyond the peradventure of doubt, the most comprehensive, adaptable and powerful bodv with which the Reformation has thus far clothed it sol"?. Duration of the Klan We have referred to the Klan in terms which indicate that It is an organization with which the' future - th.i distant future must reckon. Therefore, a logical question: How long will the Klan live? The Reformation will not, can not, die -but how long will it reside in the body It started to build at Stone Mountain, and is still building? Enemies of the Reformation People who desire a continuance of sectarian strife, political corruption, violation of law and general 'axity in morals aver that the Klan will pass as quickly as it came. And this opinion is shared by hosts of good men and women who want the Reformation to succeed In every particular, but whose conception of the widely-discussed and greatly-misrepresented organization which was reborn on Stone Mountain is sadly in need of revision. With this prediction we are completely out of accord. Nor are we biased by membership in the Klan. We are reasoning cold-bloodedly, out of the philosophy of history and from the exigencies of the present day a day in the world's history, and especially In America's history, which demands an immediate progressive stride. Our optimism not the result of emotionalism nor mere hope, but the result ot long and careful study which has painstakingly compared and weighed world movements forbids even the suggestion of Klan failure. The Klan has, from its birth, suffered tremendous external opposition and colossal interna strife either of which would have destroyed an ordinary organization of men. Its survival of these quicksuccession and multiplied attacks signifies its robust vitality and more. It signifies a mission the finite mind caff not readily grasp. And when to all this is added the phenomenal growth of the Klan, ene is forced to exclaim, "Mysterious!" (Notwithstanding the optimism Just expressed, it must be admitted that the Klan In Its personnel is far from perfect and that its ills ahead will be many to combat. How the Klan is to he saved and made the greatest service organization of all history will be suggested farther on.) The Soul of the Klan As every one knows,! death (dissolution) ensues when the body becomes so wrecked by accident or disease that the soul can no longer reside In it. Has the Klan a soul? Tes, If the preceding observations be true and they must be proven false before we shall consent to their discard. Then, what is the soul of the Klan? The answer to this question necessarily depends upon the answer to another. We have already concluded that the Reformation ha taken residence in the Klan. Has the Reformation a soul? It has never per

ished. Hence, unless the thinkers of all time have had a worng conception of vitality, it has ever' been, and Is, kept going by something which, for the lack of another name, we call the "soul." "Soul" Is generally defined as "Life." It Is so used in the New Testament, revised versions: "What shall a man give in exchange for his life?" "Thou art, O God, the life and light Of all this wondrous world we see." The poet had the correct viewpoint. "In the beginning God." God Is the source of all life. "In Him we live and move and have our being." "God moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform." All down through the ages God has wrought upon men and communities and nations seeking to lift the world out of the lowlands of self-deception and disappointment and into the heights of real prosperity and unmixed happiness. God is the soul the life of the Reformation. God's problem. If It may be oaid that He has problems, has been that of having man so visualize life ns to be fascinated by it and desire it. To put it another way, His problem has been that of revealing Himself to man. Holy Writ informs us that In the early centuries God addressed the people through old men, here and there heads of families who yielded themselves to Him sufficiently to be used in pushing forward the Reformation. That period is referred to as the "Patriarchal Age." Then came the reign t( iaw called the "Mosaic Dispensation." And last, the "Christian Era" obtained. An old writer put it thus: "First, the 'Starlight Age'; second, the 'Moonlight Age'; third, the "Sunlight Age.' " In our age, we have daylight and can see God more clearly than could the peoples of the preceding ages; Why? "God was manifest in the flesh." Jesus said: "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." "God Is in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself." Jesus, therefore, became the soul of the Reformation, and He will be its soul until it shaH have accomplished its age-long task that of restoring pristine relations between man and God, and between man and man. reproducing normalcy. (When the Seer of Patmos beheld "The Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven," he looked down through the centuries upon the consummation of the Great Reform Paradise Regained.) Hence, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. an embodiment of the Reformation, has for its soul the Living Presence Jesus the Ohr'st. Of Him, Paul, our special apostle, wrote: "Christ is our life." The (;reat Exemplar The popular conception of Jesus is not in harmony with His biography. The usual picture oi the Christ is effeminate whereas the word-pictures of Him in the NewTestament reveal a virility which challenges the admiration of all who place themselves in position to comprehend it. Jesus was a robust, toil-marked young man who had conserved both His phA'sical and mental strength in our modern way of putting it, "He was fit." In other words, He was prepared for life able to think straight, to hold His propensities in leash, to endure the strain of arduous service, to bear the burden of trial. A man among men, Jesus adapted Himself to all legitimate occasions. He was a conversationalist of charm, a source of good eieer in the banquet-hall, an orator of renown before the audience, the Great

I'hysician at the sick couch, the t omforter where there was sorrowAs teacher, Jesus instructed His hearers. His teaching was profound, yet within the grasp of all. "The common people heard Him gladly." Jesus was the Main full orbed. The halo was not about His headit was in His thinking, His deportment. His words, His deeds. Hav- ' ing examined Jesus, Pilate said: "I find no fault in this man." Pilate's verdict has been the verdict of the centuries. The historicity of Jesus is universally admitted no scholar would risk his reputation in argument against it. All admit Jesus of Nazareth as a fact, and all are compelled to respect Him. Atheists, infidels and agnostics have raved at the Christian faith, they have attacked Moses and other Bible characters and they have held the divided church up to scorn; but their lectures and writings have been clear of reflections upon the character of the young Nazarene like Pilate, having examined Him, they find no fault In Him. The Criterion ot Character The Atonement Is Scriptural. "Christ died for us." However, the system of teaching which leads people to conclude that It Is as easy to be forgiven as it is to sin does not meet a response in the New Testament. "Let this mind be In you which was also in Christ Jesus." Herein Is the secret of characterdevelopment progressive salvation, the promotion ot real manhood and womanhood. The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan is an organization of men which exists to dethrone wrong and enthrone right, and its initial task is that of developing and making bright and attractive its own manhood. Piatt) defined man as a "twolegged animal without feathers." Whereupon, Diogenes plucked the feathers from a cock, took it Into the academy and said: "This is Plato's man." Plato was no more mistaken than are millions today in their definitions of "man" if we are to accept as definitions the false standards of life that are everywhere conspicuous. The average boy thinks manhood the attainment of adult age. At this, the gray heads smile. Yet many in middle life, and even in old age, are as far from the true conception of manhood, as are the boys. Men frequently appear to think that manhood Is the ability to take undue advantage In business, to cheat in politics, to profane the Lord's name, to tell smutty stories, to drink intoxicating liquors, to boast of licentious acts, to be known as a "bully," to carouseT (Defrauding in business and politics requires a little cleverness but it requires neither stupendous Intellect nor moral courage. As a matter of fact, the real financier and the statesman each a man of brain-power-are honest in all their dealings. So far as profanity, drunkenness and licentiousness are concerned who will say they have kinship with intellect or culture? To be specific, the man of lowest culture can excel In profanity, ribald language and licentiousness In general.)

City Meeting Klan Spiritual

How undeveloped and foolish the man whose ideals are as shimmering moonbeams! The time comes in every abnormal life when the real man so" long kept shut In and starved and dwarfed steps forth and emits the wail of disappointment and censure. He who foilows the wrong trail eventually finds himself In the slough of despair remorse, "the hell within him." Diogenes lighted a candle in the,daytime, and went about saying: "I am looking for a man." Had he looked through the future, and in upon Nazareth, he would have seen the man. And had he looked far into the Christian Era he would have seen teeming millions of men faithful followers of the Nazarene. Exiled on Patmos, the Apostle John looked into the future and saw "a great multitude, which no man could number.1' He beheld all the Christian soldiers, from his day to the end, marching through the centuries at war with the evil in their own inclinations and in the world about them. And they were "clothed with white robes." "White robes"' AVho Is worthv to wear the white robe emblematic of the spotless purity Jesus came to establish throughout the earth? They "which have come out of great tribulation and have washed their rohes, and made them white In the blood of the lamb," tiiey who dailystrive to comprehend and emulate the life of their Criterion of Character. Klan Saved for U .Mission Our forecast of the Klan's future and usefulness should, of course, be supported by something other than mere conjectures. How, therefore, will the Klan be saved forits m i STrron ? The question might be answered thus: By guarding against attacks from without. And in this answer there is wisdom. "On Guard" should be the perpetual watchword, the picket line should ever be unbroken .and the army within should be always ready, af a moment's notice, for systematic, vigorous, successful defense. However, the army itself must be "in. trim" or it 11 break and recede in battle with its organized, and continuously organizing, powerful enemy. Hence, for defense purposes, as well as' for constructive work, the Klan must be fine in fiber as well as strong in numbers and efficient in organization. Edicts of the Imperial Wizard act of the Kloncilium, resolutions by Grand Dragons in conferences, inspirational Klonvokations, orders from-state and district eifficers and decisions of local commanders are all essential nor can their importance be ignored or minimized by the membership. However, these alone will not perpetuate the organization. Much remains to be done aside from propagation, organization and adaptation to conditions. In addition to hindrances heretofore pointed out. avarice and lust for power anel petty jealousies and hurtful bickerings all must ultimately disappea .'. This desirable ,gnd essential achievement will, doubtless, be deferred longer than any of us think great things are not done quickly. What matters it? God is engineering the task and "with the Lord a thousand years are as a day." The pessimist is nearsighted and can not anticipate farflung consummation to him, temporary defeat or lack of encouraging progress spells "the end." The optimist regards battles lost, complications and slow progress as teachers in the school of experience preparative agents. He can see afar off and, therefore, revels in future triumphs though they be long delayed. If reformation in the Klan be needed, and this is taken for granted, how must it be accomplished from within or from without? The physician does not depend upon external applications to permanently remove eczema this is the method of "quacks." Nor does he use soap and water and pumice to clean the coated tongue. He knows that the healing and cleansing must be wrought from within. The Klan will have reached its perfect state of health and he ready for its greatest service when, and only when, Jesus Christ shall have gotten full possession of all its members. In other words, the soul of the Klan must ultimately illumine the life of every member. The Klan can not be made permanent by mere extension and the solidification of either its political or social nature or both. It must be saved and prepared by the development of Its spiritual nature saved and prepared for its great work, politically, socially and otherwise. And its spiritual nature can develop only as its members grow up toward its Idealism. Xerexsity for Vision The idealism of the Klan is contained. In its entirety, in the teaching of Jesus. Of this idealism it may be said that "Christ is all and In all." And the twelfth chapter of Romans, written by one inspired, and whose pen was therefore accurate, is an epitome of Christ's gospel. The first thing necessary is to know the twelfth chapter of Romans and the second is to live it. Knowing that matchless chapter means more, vastly more, than the commitment to memory of its text It means thinking seriously through each of the injunctions recorded and arriving at rock-ribbed conclusions regarding their application to every-d i.v life. Living the twelfth chapter of Romans means, of course, the elaily application of its teaching in thought, word and deed. It goes without saying that living this sublime program is the task difficult. Profession and practice are not always easily wedded. When morale breaks down the battle is lost. A man who had thrice falleel in business said: "I am too dlscourageel to begin over again." The path of the centuries Is strewn along with human wreckage, all because people have lacked the courage to dare and persevere. Many will drop out of the Klan and it will be the result of failing courage. The Klan is destined to become ( exacting in demand for right living upon the part of its members that all who fail to keep step with its progress will fall away, as naturally as leaves drop from- the trees In autumn. Only Klansmen of vision will be able to keep the faith. Vision! "Where there Is no vision, the people perish." The man in the well has a patch of sky exceedingly small. The man on the mount has sky immeasurable. The Klansman in the well whose vision of Klan principles and prospects is so
