life Is Like That (Continued from Page 'i'wo) color phobia, which added to his unhappinesf. ThU constant strain had Its effect not only upon the yo«ing man’s spirit but his body. He contracted tuberculosis. A phy- sicuje which was both the envy admiration of many men was ridden with the disease,^ A quick death followed. The father and mother con tinued a separate eistence under the same roof. They found him dead one morning on a floor in that home. His body was loclced in ice evidently the re sult of water which had flowed 'from an open spicket or broken -pipe* 1 forget which. At any rate, the sceond son told me a few years back that they actually had to cut his father’s body out of the ice. The last time I saw this man, -he and his wife (I think there is a child) were living in the same house with his mother. * He was very bitter about his father’s death—the circimistan- ces under which he died. He re ferred to his mother as “that woman.” I have never seen such a fierce hatred of one’s mother. He didn’t try to hide it. It Is too late now to counter, act the tragic influence of bit ter hatred isetween husband and wife which created an in tolerable domestic situation that exacted such a heavy toll from thre^ ciiildren, two dead and one living. It is too late to help a dead husband who has gone on to report before the judgment bar of God. His day of opportu nity has passed forever. It is too late to help an aged mother, wjjo cannot help but see the shadow of death that can not be too far away, to retrieve losses that did not have to be and correct a moral blunder ttiat brought such a devastating tragedy upon her home. It is im possible to reverse the sequence of time and erase from the slate of reality the facts written upon it. Even divinity cannot cause what has happened not to have liappened. Memories of what has happened must abide. But It is not too late for that aged woman to find forgiveness and the peace of reconciliation that goes therewith for .the part she contributed to wrecking her home by being a party to a marital strife that laid such a crippling hand upon her child ren. It is no^ too late for a mother and an only ion to bury the hat chet or an unholy enmity and a spiritually crippling hatred in tlie sands of a mutual under standing and reconciliation, and to enter a beautiful fellowship of love and friendship befitting a mother an'd son. That this may come to pass is my prayer for them. And I pray, too, that those who read this story, the parents of today and tomorrow, will resolve that such a tragedy shall never fall upon them and their ciiildren. From Where I Sit (Continued from Page Two) tlves whch can be won by war alone. There are others for which wars must be fought, to be sure, but which require still more for their attainment. World peace is in the latter cate gory. It must be built—^built in many ways having nothing to do with guns. Our mistake, then, was not getting into war, but getting out of the peace. It is said that war never settles anything. Yes, it does. It always does. It determines who, in given times, areas, and situ ations shall shape the policies and institutions of the iinmedi- Before dialing-consult your Telephone Directory!

Failure to shape them well is a reflection on the statesmanship of leaders and the alertness of peoples, not on the purposes of wars. The men whose supreme sacrifice we commemorate did not die in vain. But whether succeeding generations of youth are to be called upon to die in war de pends on what the living do to build for peace.
