Very interesting 15 the comment up- on the lives of those heroic men and women whose faith, variously mani- fest, makes up the'honor roll of the eleventh chapter of the Epistle of the Hebrews, "They seek a bettor coun- try." The 'adjective "heavenly" which follows in the next clause does stet mean that they- were thinking' mainly of heavers; they were seeking condi- tions in a country' on earth which they believed Were like the personal and ethical•eonditions of heaven. That Is to say, •they'were seeking a better social and political order. A really -'good politica,. gavernmeiit has: -been the dream and almost the despair of right-minded men since or- ganized society, began. Whether men ever yet have found, it is a question which need not here be:discus0ed: Cer taip it is that men are less confident than, they once were that they know just how it is to be secured. - But of Noah, Abraham, David, Samuel and all the test of the ancient heroes it is. said, "They seek a better country" There were two ways In which they sought jt. Some, like Abraham and Moses, went out from the country where they were, Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees and Moses from 3gypt, and' they .sought.to establish In new lands a perm' government and worthier worship. Others, who here, not emigrants, sought to make better the country where they were. 'Illstory has shown both kinds of pioneers. The future must produce fewer of the men who go out and more in proportion of those who stay where they are and seek to make their own country bet- ter. The Mayflower and the covered wagon both belong to the past, but the spirit that in them moved westward with the sun still must find expression among people to whom new lands,.•o no longer possible. /" The hope of abetter country and a better world is one that has inspired bath men and women to deeds of valor, and the faith that this could bo Was a direct product of religious faith. God is.the greatest of all adventurers: •tlie first and most fearless of alt pion-' eers. 'The urge and initiative toward better things, the faith, spite of all human failures, that men and nations can live worthily and happily on this planet, are part of that cosmic impulse which prophetic souls define as in spiration from God. This; if anything, will give us a better country and a better world. It Is the hope that makethnot ashamed, V ii°ir }I , t 6> • r IPeret Still, of Course.
