THERE IS NO OTHER WAY
All civilized people across the whole earth are hoping that
humanity is to have the best sort of world it has ever had when
this ghastly war is over.
God knows it ought to be, considering the cost being paid
to get rid of the sorry world we now have.
It is possible, though difficult, to build a new society that
will be cleansed of the scourge of war at least for a generation,
President Roosevelt Says. But if for a generation, why not for
a century?
In order, however, to have an international society relieved
of a constant threat of ever-recurring wars and to be introdu
ced into a regime if peace, prosperity and happiness for the
human race, more will be required than drawing up man-made
patterns of international relationships.
It is well to hope for a new and better world. It is even
better to have faith in it and to pray for it to come but, at the
same time, we must be rational and realistic.
Human nature will not be repealed by new documents which
statesmen may draw up for future international peace.
Human greed will remain when this war has done its worst
Human sins will continue to be committed. National jealousies'
will prevail. The same instincts to do evil, both on the part of
individuals and of peoples, will survive and perpetuate them
selves.
V\ hen the bast that the best statesmen of our day can de
vise to guarantee the future against war has been done, the
millennium will not break upon the world.
The kingdom of peace belongs to the kingdom of God and
not to the kingdom of secular society.
There is no scriptural basis upon which human beings may
expect war to cease except that of Christianity.
The Biblical formula is, first, personal righteousness, and
then peace.
Something, therefore .different from the instincts and im
pulses which have been driving humanity must come into con
trol over the hearts and wills of people.
We suppose the most simple and commonplace way to state
the case is that men and women everywhere must “get religion’’
And they must get it in a way that they have never gotten it
before!
The preachers have been right after all.
For long centuries they have been solemnly saying this
very thing from Sunday to Sunday.
Multitudes for successive generations have heard them and
paid them little heed. They have been indifferent to the voice
of these prophets of God; they have ignored their teachings;
they have repudiated their preachments and they have gone on
about their secular ways as if no voice had ever been raised
across the long space of time to warn them of the common er
ror of their material way.
Surely now whwen the present world lies in debris, when
nations have gone banqrupt in killing one another, when mil
lions of the best young lives of our times have been sacrificed
on the altar of the Moloch of war and when the state of the
world's civilization hangs so precariously in the balance—
surely now all people with any capacity of reason and intelli
gence should be unanimous in the judgment that human society
must look beyond the outside of itself for a power adequate to
save itself from its own devices of self destruction.
All of this is ti intimate that the contemporary Church is
facing a responsibility in our world of which it may be all too
little aware.
The Church is the organization of religion. It was divinely
created to bring men to a sense of understanding that they can
never break Gid’s laws without being broken themselves in the
ecort.
The Church is the human vehicle through which the sov
ereign authority of God is brought to bear upon the minds of
and hearts of human beings.
No other agency or irganization can achieve the ends which
alone the Church was created to attain.
Its message goes to the heart of the matter. It seeks to
teach, to guide, to influence, and to control the motives of men
and to overrule their wills by the power of a grace which they
themselves are impotent to create.
The world can have peace in proportion as the world has
men and women of peaceful purposes, men and women of good
will!
There is no other way!—Observer.
The Final Squeeze
ms.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (NWNS)
—Officials here have stopped the
making of guesses for publication
about when the war will end.They
realize that they made a costly
mistake when they predicted that
it would end in 1944 and that
are largely to blame for the re
laxed attitude on the part of the
public which resulted. It has tak
en a lot of time and effort to re
pair the result of these pi/dic
So now, when any officials of
the army, navy or administration
discuss the subject at all, they
take what appears to he an over
pessimistic attitude. This was evi
dent in the testimony before the
senate military affan. committee
on the National Service act. It
was evident when Secretary ot
War Stimson said that recent Al
lied victories didn't lessen in any
respect the need fc- the drafting
of labor. And it was evident again
when the Undersecretary of War
Patterson told of the urgent need
of 900,000 more men in the army
before July 1.
As the Allies roll up new victo
ries the people of our country
can’t help but feel that the war
in Europe will end soon—but they
are no longer encouraged to think
that way by the men in the know.
Whether the labor draft is abso
lutely necessary or not—which
seems to be a very debatable
question—our war chiefs want it
to go through to help build morale
among the soldiers on the light
ing fronts. If the National Service
act does pass, the government will
not be required to put all young
men in essential industry, but will
have the power to take those they
need between th ages of 18 anu
45
Until the war is over we
will never know just what
Preiident Roosevelt, Church
ill and Stalin ’talked about
and how much agreement
there was on post-war plans.
But it is evident they do agree
on the handling of the final
battle of Europe — which is
the most important thing at
the moment.
And there is definitely a more
optimistic attitude among admin
istration officials over our reia
tionship with Russia. Some who
feared that Stalin might want to
have the upper hand in deciding
how the many problems of post
war Europe would be handled,
now seem to feel that he is anxi
ous to cooperate in arriving at
agreements which will be lavored
by all the leading nations. Perhaps
the greatest achievement of the
conference is to end all hope of
the Nazis of splitting the United
Nations.
Action by the house to vote on
the George Bill, to split the de
partment of commerce, and the
Reconstruction Finance corpora
tion, before the Senate acts on
the appointment of Henry Wal
lace as secretary of commerce,
probably means that Mr. Wallace
will win congressional approval
for that office. Opponents of Mr.
Wallace had hoped, either m the
senate or house, to defeat this ap
pointment by voting on Mr. Wal
lace’s nomination while the RFC
still was part of the commerce de
partment.
There is still some chance that
Mr. Wallace will be defeated, but
since the appointment is so closely
allied with political manipulations
it is believed probable that Mr.
Wallace won the secretaryship
when his supporters managed to
get both houses of congress to act
on the George bill first.
One of the most important
subjects before congress at the
present moment is that of re
cruiting nurses for the armed
forces. No matter when the war
in Europe may end, the shortage
of nurses will continue to be crit
ical unless some steps are taken
to recruit those who will not en
list voluntarily. Dr. Thomas Par
ran, U. S. Surgeon General, has
urged Congress to include protes
sional nurses in the selective ser
vice system.

Lesson for February 23: Matt
hew • 16:13-17; 17:1-8
Memory Verse: Matt. 10:32
In the north of Palestine, near
the ruins of a pagan temple, ami
where the sources of the Jordan
unte—is a spot beautified by na
ture and once adorned by the
hand of man—the first and Great
Confession was made.
His name having become known
everywnere, Jesus asked the dis
ciples the opinions of men con-,
cerning Him. The answers lnuua
ted that all thought Him some
great Person. He was all the an
swers implied, but infinitely more.
"But who say ye that I am.' '
The time conies when all men must
answer that question for thom
Hebrew kings had been anoin
ted when called to rule their pen -
pie. Christ means Anointed Je
sus (Saviour) is the name of the
Son of God, the Christ (the An
ointed of God) is His title. What
a blessed combination!
The declaration Peter made was
soon confirmed from heaven. Six
days afterward, probably on Alt
Hermon, Jesus was transfigured
in the presence of Peter, James
and John. Heaven touched the
earth to glorify the Son of God.
The Law and the Prophets, which
Jesus fulfilled, stood with him in
the persons of Moses and Jtdijah.
No wonder Peter wanted to build
three tabernacles for the great
Persons and dwell there in that
rapt place and state.
But they were called to serve
and they could not remain oil Ihe
mountain top. The glory of the
transfiguration departed. Jesus
remained. But may the neavenly
scene strengthen us to make our
own confession in the Son of God
and, like the disciples, go into the
busy scenes of life to serve men—
through Jesus the Christ.

WRUB4CE KOFIT
Are you having trouble getting along w ith your boss?
Well, here’s what one man did when he bumped into ihat
situation, lie is George Robaek.
Mr. Robaek was the regular civil service substitute
carrier in a post office, and was in good standing. All was
going well until one day the post master took on a tempo
rary substitute who was a friend of his.
Things began to change. The work went to the
postmaster's friend. Mr. Robaek didn't like this, and
thought ' he situation would be temporary. But it continu
ed and Mr. Roback’s pay was getting frostbitten.
Then Mr. Robaek did what almost anyone in the
world would do—he went to the postmaster and told him
a few things.
And of course the postmaster also did what virtually
anvone in the world would do—he told Mr. Robaek a few
things. They crashed head on like two bulls in a blue grass
pasture.
More and more work went to the temporary substi
tute.
Ore da’• Mr !?• beck got an idea. He said. “Well. I
can’t really blame the postmaster tor liking his it'end.
That is iust human nature—to have favorites. And I
certainly couldn't expect to-be a favorite of his since I
have never made any but disagreeable remarks to him.
Now. sire-0 f am not getting anywhere by the use of my
method^ I’ll change—«>•<> wh->t 1 can.find in the postmaster
that 1 like, and treat him accordingly.”
So he stopped criticizing the postmaster; spoke
pleasantly to him and even went on* of 'he way to
f)ptn him in **mall »r*nt>ne matters. Hp found a sur
prising number of ‘hings to praise in the postmaster
—and he praised them.
The nest master didn't know what to make of this
sudden change at first. Rut he liked Mr. Rohack’s atti
tude.
Soon the two men found they had respect for each
other; then liking. Mr. Robaek found that his boss had
troubles iust. as everybody has and that these sometimes
made him cross.
As if hv magic thinngs began to change. Instead of
fighting Mr. Robaek. thm postmaster began to help him.
In exactly six weeks after Mr. Robaek started his new
course of conduct, he was making more money than he
had ever made before on that job. He had accomplished
more in six weeks than he had in three years of lault-tind
ing and criticism.
