We do know . that it was most seemly that they should hesitate before demolish ing the city dear to Abraham, the grand old gentleman and patriarch who plead for Sodom and who set an example of tolerance in his dealings that have been the example and stimulus to the finest actions of which the' world knows anything. Did it occur to the leaders that Paul, the founder of our modern civilization became a new man as he journeyed to that ancient city? Brave men hope that the Presence that changed the fate of the world by showing Saul of Tarsus his error may yet make his awful Presence felt in the lives of those who are doing all that is humanly possible to destroy all that Paul’s Master would have done in the world. Such hopes have been realized before now. ***** We do not know all * * « RUSSIA Russia kept the world guessingweek before she finally found herself __ ____ ____J|_.w_ assault.

She is so big that she stands in her own light. She is as irresistable as an iceberg but quite as unwieldy. She occupies so much space that he can’t turn round. That’s because her inind never has been lighted up. Her one-time church life failed to show her how to take Up her cross. That’s why she reels and staggers in these days of destiny.
