In these days of crisis and danger, intelligent people begin to think more seriously, for it is folly la give our- selves up to pleasures as if life were not an important matter. Enjoyment we must have where possible and fit- ting, but never at the expense of vital and fundamental things. What are these fundamental things?' Right- eousness,- justice, brotherhood, liber- ty, God. They demand first consider- ation if a man (or a nation) is to be wcrthy of his very existence and to fulfill his purpose in the world. Thus in times of difficulty m'en turn to God as never before and seek to bring themselves into line with His' pur- poses. Then, whatever comes, they know that they have neither'.faired their Maker nor their felloivs,—(Con- tributed by R. P. D. H.)
