The curse of Clod followed neglect and
failure. What ware the reasons somo

Paint heartedness was one. 'PIM

rots of war. They preferred the
secority of home to the peeils, of the
battlefield. This kept them from re-
sponding to the call widen eamo to
them in trumpet tones.
When God semmons es to war
against spiritual r‘nomies may we
not be faint hearted, but strong to
do the right as Clod enables es to
see the right!
No doubt there was indifference.
The people heard the call to duty,
but were indifferent to the public
tem'. The wee was far away and no
-Ettinger threatened them. Their fields
and flocks rested under the blee ekies
of secerity. Their commerce and agri-
culture wero undisturbed, and they

They did not caro; they were elmply

fortimate and ;mak! 11 we aro ia-
different to others' needs the (urs

There was neutrality. This was the
people's pre-eminent sin. They knew
tho crisis had come, but they declin-
ed to take part in the struggle. If
the enemy won, them would be little

(ILLY, they would continuo on, in
peaceful evocations. They were
'neither cold nor hot"—neutral.
Neutrality in moral and spiritual

The battle for right against wrong,
holiness against sin, purity against
corruption wages hotly, and those
who from fear to take their place in

There is a bitter warfare going on

"Infidelity stalks through the land.

There is a world battle between

Christinnity and heathenism. Cod

and Christian civilization must rally
all forces for the final conflict and
