We are now face to face with the ta.sk of reorganizing, not from the standpoint of a narrow and belligerent nationalism, but from tho standoint of the king dom of Cod, in which a brother hood as broad as humanity reigns. What should lead the world in the great majectic march of events? The church of the living Cod ! Oh ! how many people think that the religion is an ambulance, to follow in the rear of the march of civilization. II ought to lead. It is what men saw in the Ions: airo. a c oud m . ar, to lead us on to sublime ne- roniplishmot.ts. to social free dom, to tho realms of opportuni ty, yea. to a national destinv. F.lkin's patriotism cannot be questioned. Truly the people of Klkin have loyally suptwrted our Government during these stress- Jul times. While Plkin's patriot ism can be spoken of in superla tive terms, what shall be said of our loyalty to God? To say that Klkin is a good tow a spiritually is to speak in arratic tonus. The majority of our leadership is concerned aliout the evanescent things oftime, but little atten tion is given to unspeakable values of eternity.
